Detailed Mutator Information
The bots will spawn from any enemy building. If you clear all enemy buildings on the map, the bots will stop spawning. Note that all-clearing Malwarfare and Void Launch does not stop them from spawning, because Suppression Towers and Launch Bays are indestructible enemy structures.
There are three types of Kill Bots that will spawn, as follows:
| Bot | Kills Required | Picture |
|---|---|---|
| Murder Bot | 5 |  |
| Death Bot | 10 |  |
| Kill Bot | 15 |  |
The spawn timings of the Kill Bots are as follows:
| Time | Bot Type | Bots Spawned |
|---|---|---|
| 3:35 | Murder Bot | 1 |
| 5:05 | Murder Bot | 1 |
| 6:35 | Murder Bot | 1 |
| 8:05 | Murder Bot | 2 |
| 9:35 | Murder Bot | 2 |
| 10:45 | Death Bot | 2 |
| 11:55 | Death Bot | 2 |
| 13:05 | Death Bot | 2 |
| 14:15 | Death Bot | 3 |
| 15:25 | Death Bot | 3 |
| 16:35 | Death Bot | 3 |
| 17:45 | Death Bot | 3 |
| 18:55 | Death Bot | 3 |
| 20:05 | Kill Bot | 2 |
| 21:05 | Kill Bot | 3 |
| 22:05 | Kill Bot | 3 |
| 23:05 | Kill Bot | 3 |
| 24:05 | Kill Bot | 3 |
| 25:05 | Kill Bot | 4 |
After the 25:05 spawn, 4 Kill Bots will appear every 60 seconds.
Bots will attack Aurana's transport and Data Cores on Malwarfare, Terrazine Harvesters on Mist Opportunities, Artifact Trucks on Cradle of Death, and the Evacuation Ships on Miner Evacuation.
When playing commanders that have Evolution Chambers, use those to feed Kill Bots. When they are destroyed (1 kill), they spawn 6 Broodlings (6 kills).
Commander-specific Tips
- Kerrigan: If using Zerglings to feed Kill Bots, avoid getting the Hardened Carapace upgrade until Kill Bots start to spawn. This will allow the Death Bots to 1-shot the Zerglings.
- Mengsk: Kill Bots do not aggro Zerg units from Dogs of War.
- Raynor: Spider Mines do not add to Kill Bot kill counters.
- Stetmann: If using Zerglings to feed Kill Bots, never get the Hardened Egonergy Shield upgrade as this prolongs Zergling life, keeping Kill Bots alive longer on the map.
- Stukov: Volatile Infested do not add to the Kill Bot's kill counter.
- Vorazun: Corsair Disruption Webs stop Kill Bots from attacking.
- Vorazun: Units that get Emergency Recalled do not add to the Kill Bot's kill counter.
- Vorazun: Time Stop does not affect Kill Bots timings.
- Zagara: If using Zerglings to feed Kill Bots, avoid getting the Hardened Carapace upgrade until Kill Bots start to spawn. This will allow the Death Bots to 1-shot the Zerglings.
- Zeratul: Cannon Projection kills do not add to the Kill Bot's kill counter.
- Zeratul: Legion units do not get attacked by Kill Bots.
