## Tips

* Put down you robot near the door, in a hiding spot or next to a cipher as soon as possible.
* You can use the robot as a body-shield.
* When a Hunter hits two survivors Tracy will not be able to decode well, in those moments she is better of using the robot to decode. Observe the robot decoding and try not to miss calibrations. Tracy herself should be next to a cipher machine and you should occasionally stop observing the robot to touch the cipher machine so as to prevent crows from appearing and revealing your location. (The crows will begin appearing after 90 seconds of non-activity)
* You can heal yourself or others with the robot.
* You can save yourself or others with the robot, remember that the robot is destroyed in one hit, so be careful and try to make a camping Hunter hit the chair and then attempt to body block.
* Use the robot to open the exit gate, so you will avoid getting hit by hunters teleporting to the exit gate.
* Once you have opened the door, save your teammates that are on the rocket chair with the robot while you wait at the door.
* The doll can be used to decode a separate cipher machine (with the Mechanic decoding another one simultaneously) when a teammate is kiting the Hunter so that four cipher machines will be decoded to a substantial amount if or when the kiting teammate goes down.
* The Mechanic can go for the first save if the robot is decoding so that other teammates can keep decoding.
* When the robot is destroyed, the position of the Mechanic will be shown. Therefore, you should be ready to kite the Hunter any time once the robot is destroyed as the Hunter may most probably equip teleport and teleport on you.
* If you spawn near the hunter, you should put down a robot in a safe place as soon as you can, so you can save yourself. It will be hard to do this while kiting.
* If the hunter has a tendency to not camp at chairs, you should put your robot down in a hiding spot near a chair. If you get chaired near the robot, say "Get away from me!" or "Don't rescue me", and the hunter may leave and/or teleport to another teammate. Then, you can use your robot to rescue yourself and heal yourself, too, if you have time.
* Mechanic goes well with Priestess and Mercenary
