    So most of us know you can buy bots for 100, and they have a little debuff timer till you can buy another one.

    but one thing i don't get, and ive seen it several times.

    how do you get bouncer after bouncer out into the map? ive seen swarms of bouncers come out (no overtime yet) as soon as one is dead theres two more taking its place?

    what am i missing here?

    Some maps, most notably Spunky Cola, can spawn bouncers on their own, or so I've heard. Bouncers are a pain in the rear unless you waste a skill on them.

    Spunky Cola, I'm guessing. It spawns them automatically. Besides which each map has two bot spawners, so you can walk between them and keep spawning bots constantly as long as you have the money due to the short cooldowns.

    Yep, Spunky Cola is the only map that automatically spawns Bouncers. It's devastating if you buy two more Bouncers, and have four of them running around smacking people. Really distracts a team.

    I feel like this is common knowledge but from what I've seen ingame it probably isn't: The alternate fire on your secondary wrecks Bouncers.

    Depends on class. I mainly play support, and they are a HUGE pain. Both weapons suck at hurting them, and airstrike just turns them into a bomb running straight towards you.

    A shotgun grapple will kill a Bouncer, you just have to time their lunge so they don't grab you.

    Yup if you need any reason to spawn bouncers its to annoy the **** out of Supports. They are never worth the 100 though imo. I feel like they should be more dangerous to the other classes. Same with every other bot but Gapshots actually.

    Gremlins during XL rampages. Then cloak with the Gremlins and follow them to their delicious meal. They're like bloodhounds, but funnier.

    Sometimes, I see them not even going for pros. They just sit around in steath, drinking tea, and making rude jokes about the tanks prostate.

    ... other times, in the dead of the night, on an empty server with no opposing teams, and no turrets for them to feast upon, they play five card stud. One of them always cheats.

    Of course, you didn't hear this from me. And all the other Assassins will deny it.

    I've seen them make sno-cones with my shave-ice turrets during my respawn in the scramble. They're surprisingly sophisticated little mantismonkeys.

    they are dangerous and take time to kill for every class except the assassin and maybe tank

    A) Supports should never be alone.

    B) Either they buffed bouncers on PC, which I seriously doubt they needed to be stronger, or the shotgun grapple takes all but a sliver of health away. Then, a shotgun blasts finishes. Then, the cooldown is pretty quick so you can deal with the next one.

    I know this because spunky games are usually filled with me constantly grappling the suckers. Yes, if anyone doesn't know, grapple them. Classes with two grapples (or cloak lol) are blessed for this (although assassins killing bot waves do tend to get grappled and suffer fatalities a lot from bouncers).

    Just putting it out there that I got an uberstreak on steel peel by getting like 9 kills myself then just going in my base and spawning buzzers, taunt every kill to be able to afford more buzzer spawns.
