Surviving After the Abiotic Factor Crisis
With GATE in chaos following the incident at Abiotic Factor, you’ll need to survive using whatever tools you can find. You might make arrows out of pens and use parts of decks as weapons. Since you’re a new employee, you also have less access than others, making things harder.
Most of the scientists are gone or missing, so you’ll have to build makeshift technology to escape the facility. A crucial part is taking the Security Bot CPU, but to get it, you’ll need to destroy Security Bots. These robots don’t like having their parts taken and can be dangerous to fight.
How to Kill Security Bots
To get a Security Bot CPU, you must destroy a Security Bot, but they can be very dangerous. In the early game, they can kill you in four or five hits even if you wear decent armor.
Security Bots become active from 9 PM to 6 AM when the power goes out. During these hours, they patrol their assigned areas. When the power comes back in the morning, they go back to their stations and stay inactive.
You can find Security Bots in the Office Sector and Manufacturing West. The easiest one to reach is in the Cafeteria of the Office Sector, just below the Security Station with Warren.
Other easy locations include:
- Level Three of the Office Sector, looping through areas near Alice Mayfield and the large Executive Office.
- The office area past Reception, which they patrol in a circle near their station on the wall.
Security Bots’ headlights turn red when they see you or enemies, and they have good sight from a distance. However, because they walk slowly, you can outrun them by hiding or preparing to fight.
Security Bots have three types of attacks: a melee punch that stuns briefly, an electrical tackle that stuns and has short range, and a spin attack with high knockback that hits multiple enemies. They prefer to use the spin attack when they are surrounded.
The easiest and safest way to kill them early is to set a Shock Trap in their path and then shoot them with a Makeshift Crossbow loaded with around 30 to 40 bolts, depending on your accuracy. Once they see you, walk backward so they step onto the Shock Trap and get stunned for a few seconds. Hit them with bolts while backing up and circle around near the trap to keep them stunned.
Materials to Craft Items
| Item | Materials Needed |
|---|---|
| Shock Trap | Energy Brick x1 Stapler x1 Coil x1 |
| Makeshift Crossbow | Desk Leg x1 Rubberband Ball x3 Plastic Scrap x2 Stapler x1 |
| Makeshift Crossbow Bolts | Pens x1 Metal Scrap x1 |
Place a Shock Trap in its path before the bot wakes up, then fire your bolts while it is stunned. Keep repeating this process, reactivating the trap as needed, until the Security Bot is destroyed. Including damage from the trap, it should take about 25 to 30 bolts. Without the trap, closer to 40 bolts.
Natural electrical hazards, like electrified water on Level Three, can also stun and damage Security Bots, making them easier to kill.
After defeating a Security Bot, it will drop a few sodas. You can use a Kitchen Knife to butcher it like an alien, but the process takes longer.
They always drop Robot Oil and one Security Bot CPU, a vital resource. Sometimes, they also drop Metal Scraps, Coils, Glass Scrap, and Tech Scrap. Setting up automated farms for Security Bots can help you gather large amounts of Metal Scraps without breaking many cabinets.
What to Do With Security Bot CPUs
The main use for Security Bot CPUs is to craft Computational Bricks. These are essential for creating several key items: the Controller, Infrared Emitter, and the LCD Screen, which are used to make the Keypad Hacker.
| Component | Amount Needed | Materials Required |
|---|---|---|
| Controller | 1 | Computation Brick x1 Keyboard x2 Desk Phone x2 Box Of Screws x1 |
| LCD Screen | 1 | Computation Brick x1 Tech Scrap x3 Glow Stick x1 Box Of Screws x1 |
| Infrared Emitter | 1 | Circuit Board x1 Computation Brick x1 Glass Shards x2 |
The Keypad Hacker is needed to progress in the game, unlock areas like Security Rooms, and access crucial items like the Power Cell. All recipes for its parts can be discovered by crafting the Computation Brick, and then unlocking advanced components at a workbench.
To get all the recipes at once, it’s easiest to visit Alice Mayfield, a GATE researcher on Level Three, who can give you the full list of components and recipes.
How to Find Alice Mayfield
To reach Alice Mayfield, go left from Reception toward the Security Office, follow the path to the office, and use an Energy Brick to open the nearby shutters. This unlocks a shortcut back to Manufacturing West and a lift to Level Three.
Ride the lift to a small research area with radiation warnings, then go to the portal at the end of the catwalk to reach Anteverse II. This area offers key resources like Anteverse Wheat and fights with Exor enemies for their Hearts, which can upgrade your workbench.
Follow the path through Anteverse II to another portal leading back to Level Three. Cross the pipes, jump over electrified water, and head toward Silo Three.
Remember to unlock the elevator across from where Alice is located; this will give you a shortcut back to the main entrance, making travel easier in the future.
Alice Mayfield is in an unlocked room near the entrance of Silo Three. She will provide the recipe for the Keypad Hacker, all the parts needed, and some hints on how to use it effectively.
