Maybe I just got a bad "seed number" There are lots of em- My 4th battle there was something like 10 of them showing up at the same time. With them and EMPbots I'm dying left and right. Not my idea of fun... I explore gingerly and try to get advantageous shots.
For the standard level this game is turning out to be very punishing right out of the gate. I understand the challenge ,but my first campaign was ridiculous. 1 win and 5 straight losses for a HQ overrun. I did use the suggested setup of bots. Time for me to get under the hood and tinker with my settings and choices.
A tip for EMPbots: No matter how close they get, DONT shoot them until the battle with nearby bots is over. Just let them be. They'll walk up to you.... and just sit there. The EMP blast is literally the only thing they can do, and they cant do it until you pop them.
As for BombBots, a sniper exo is good at popping them. If you dont have a sniper, use a weapon like a Laser Rifle, give it alot of extra range and attack, and it'll make it much easier to pop the bomb guys.
You could also try using sentries to get the bombs exploded safely; drop them somewhere, get well behind them, and then use a whistle to call some of the bombbots over. The sentries will pop them (and probably be destroyed in the process), but if you're far enough back from the sentry line YOU will be safe. On the other hand.... nearby bots WONT be safe
