CREATUREFEST JULY 2025

[knux400]

Welcome back to Bot Arena! Today's match is against Sabre, Rapier, and Cutlass of Skirmesh, but before that, we need to go over one of the new additions to the shop.
 

"Aaand just like the weapons they're named for, they all look like they belong in a museum."
"Schmoo! Rude!"

Newly added to the shop is the Porantis R33, a heavy-duty cannon with a low rate of fire and a massive damage output. Its appearance, firing distance, and overall role in combat make it essentially an upgraded version of the Raptor-class weapons we saw way back in the first few matches.
 

"It's... beautiful..."


"I'm going to explode so many things with this gun."
"...Aaaaaand I'm going to triple-check the safety anytime you're not in the arena."
"What, I can't be excited?"
"It's a bit scary when the thing you're excited over is a high-powered cannon that fires ball bearings the size of oranges."

No, seriously, listen to the sound this thing makes when it fires. It's the only weapon in the game to use this sound effect, and it sounds menacing.

As Schmoo mentioned earlier, these robots really aren't that intimidating. Sabre and Rapier can barely scratch Schmoo with their Raptor-class weapons, so the strategy is to focus on eliminating Cutlass first- which is easy, since they have the weakest armor of the trio. I completed this match in my first attempt, so no skipping ahead required here.
 

See you next time... Assuming I haven't just given Schmoo the power to wipe out all of humanity.
"I would never. Who would manufacture more ammunition for all the different weapons I'd own?"
