Normal Variants
Heavy
Your Standard Production Heavybot, manufactured by Gray Mann. These robots are similar to the normal Heavy: big, tough, and pack a punch. The regular Heavy wields a Minigun, ripping anyone who dares to come too close to shreds. The Heavy robot often comes in small to medium sized waves, often accompanying other robots as support.

The Heavyweight Champ is a pure melee variant of the Heavy robot, wearing the Pugilist's Protector. Although restricted to melee range, these robots often come in gigantic numbers. The Heavyweight Champ comes in two different types. The first type will wield the Killing Gloves of Boxing. These types are aggressive and, if not carrying the bomb, will seek out nearby players to punch and kill, gaining a crit-boost from their K.G.B. upon killing a player. The second variant wields the Gloves of Running Urgently, allowing them to move faster but receive Mini-Crits; these robots will often ignore players entirely and make a beeline for the bomb instead.
Steel Gauntlet
Icon | Name | Melee | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Steel Gauntlet | ![]() Fists of Steel |
![]() ![]() |
The Steel Gauntlet is similar to the Heavyweight Champ in the fact that it is a pure melee variant; however, the Steel Gauntlet can take an incredible amount of damage from ranged weapons due to its Fists of Steel and increased HP. They often appear in large waves and are sometimes assisted by other types of robots. The Steel Gauntlet often does not pose a threat to the players directly but instead by being a potent and resilient bomb carrier. Using melee weapons can make short work of Steel Gauntlets as they take double damage from melee sources, though the player will have to be very careful not to let the robots mob them.
Heavy Mittens
Icon | Name | Melee | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Heavy Mittens | ![]() Holiday Punch |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
The Heavy Mittens is another pure melee variant which possess increased speed and wields a permanent crit-boosted Holiday Punch. Spawning in small groups, they are unable to deal any damage, however any hit from them will force players to stand still and laugh, making them easier targets for other robots. They have been known to "Mob" players by ganging up on them, or to hang around a single laughing player and stun lock him. As such, it is advised to get rid of them before they get in melee range. Having only 20% of a typical Heavy robot's HP, they are fairly easy to destroy.
Giant Variants
Giant Heavy
Icon | Name | Primary | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Giant Heavy | ![]() Minigun |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The giant Heavy is a giant version of the regular Heavy. It wields an overclocked Minigun that can do 50% more damage. The Giant Heavy acts largely the same as the regular Heavy robot and is often accompanied by various Medic Robots.
Giant Deflector Heavy
Icon | Name | Primary | Hat | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Giant Deflector Heavy | ![]() Deflector |
![]() U-clank-a |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The Giant Deflector Heavy is similar to the Giant Heavy, though it has the added benefit of being able to shoot down projectiles in flight. The Deflector Heavy can be identified by its U-clank-a.
Giant Heater Heavy
Icon | Name | Primary | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Giant Heavy | ![]() Huo-Long Heater |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
While lacking the regular Giant Heavy's high-powered Minigun, this robot has no maximum sight distance and is impossible to approach without bursting into flames.
