Bots

Bots are a feature in ScrapTD that was introduced in June 2020. Regardless of your trophy count, you may go up against 8 different types of Bots in your current arena, mainly to show off some skill and strategy between matching a Bot match which can be either winnable or unwinnable depending on what one you go up against.

How to go up against Bots?
This is an obvious question. Use the emote combination shown in this picture, and once you press Play, you'll have to wait for 10 seconds to go up against one of the 8 Bots in your arena/trophy range. However, a 3-minute cooldown delay will commence when going up against a Bot, so when beating a Bot in under 3 minutes, you'll have to wait for over 10 seconds to go up against it again, mainly this happens if you go up against Bace race/Stall match bots.

Current exploits
Bot hijacking exploit Stall match exploit
 * There's a common exploit when playing against Bots which causes a Player to control the Bot if the Bot uses their level stats. For example, if a Bot uses your level whilst someone's playing against a Bot you'll be dragged into that Bot match where you can control the Bot by sending Barrels and putting down Defences and vice versa. The player is only dragged into that bot match when they login to ScrapTD, close ScrapTD and reopening it or watch ads if someone goes up against that Bot which uses your level. It is also pretty annoying sometimes when getting affected by this and is also a very game-breaking exploit.
 * A rare exploit which is mainly used by a few players to make Bots record "stally" matches or "base race" matches. However, a notable example is the 2 players called Scrap TD Pro and Ivy356 who got to the top 10 in the leaderboards so quickly because of that Bot exploit which was utilized a lot by Scrap TD Pro latterly so that he could create "Base Race" bots in his current trophy range, which made bots guaranteed wins for everyone who faced against them. However, nobody except for those 2 players utilize that game-breaking exploit for EZ wins because it's hard to pull off as an average player.

Trivia

 * Bots are always called "ScrapTD".
 * They were announced in May 2020 by Endte and got released next month.
 * Bots cannot record replays from Bots if you beat them, they only do that if you're going up against a real player who either loses or you lose the match.
 * Bots also uses a random active player's level and barrel/defence levels when going up against bots in your trophy range. Sometimes they can use your level when playing against them!
