Also, pay attention to part drops. Since they are based on how rare the part is & how much damage was done to it.
So to optimize those item drops, try to aim for the heads of enemies. Yet once again, headshots are key. Since bots die fast, which means item drops do not take damage. Also allowing them to linger longer for you to pickup.
Something else to pay attention too. Dash can make the player move very quickly and it slows time. So making dodging shots are a lot easier. While Shields absorb some hits for you.
Utilize cover, rocks in open areas, can and easier means of protection. Also, the LightSword is a special weapon that can deflect some shots back. Think lightsaber functionality. So avoiding damage is a lot more complex than just dodging.
Which is also a unique feature and adds a challenge. Since better item drops are the result skillful bot take-downs.
