bloodmoon is an event that can spawned in-game in nico's nextbots. The event can either be spawned randomly, or bought through the buy menu of the leaderboard for ( for VIPs) or .
It was released on August 20th, 2022, within the Bloodmoon Update.
==Overview==
When a bloodmoon event occurs, an image of a blood moon will briefly flash on players’ screens, and everything will turn red, including the lights in maps. This is followed by the appearance of a faint red fog. During this period, all active bots will have their speed increased by 1.25x, making them significantly faster and more dangerous than normal. Additionally, the nextbots’ RollOffMaxDistance range (often referred to as hitboxes or simply range) will expand. Nextbots that are already faster than usual will also receive a 1.25x speed boost.
The bloodmoon event will end for around 3 minutes in the open world mode, or 2.5 minutes in the Arcade mode.
==Strategy==
Since the bots will gain increased speed and have their hitboxes expanded, evading them without bunny hopping will become less effective. It is crucial to maintain a safe distance from them. If you are being chased, initiate bunny hopping to gain speed as quickly as possible. You can enhance this speed by combining the bunny hop with a Bloxy Cola, allowing you to evade the Nextbots more effectively. This speed-stacking strategy is also beneficial for evading Nextbots that naturally spawn with higher speed, such as Sanic.
