The Cyber Bees Swarm is a Throwing clan gadget introduced in the 17.5.0 update. It is a projectile used for targeting, attacking and swarming enemies.

Description

The Cyber Bees Swarm is a gadget to be feared by all. Fighting against it’s users is difficult due to the impossible-to-counter , and it’s insanely high damage. If you’re being targeted by even one of these bees, it’s already over.

Appearance

The swarm consists of three robotic bees. Each bee has a yellow and black body with white below its head. It has a pair of red eyes and two antennae on its head, with six legs and two pairs of wings on its middle body. It appears to be a regular bee.

Performance

This gadget is good for sudden attacks and escaping from close to medium-ranged enemies. The general performance of this weapon is much like Bee Swarm Spell. When used, the player will begin by summoning the bees and then letting them go towards the nearest enemy by following them continuously. The swarm will automatically explode after 29 seconds. Each of the cyber bees will do about 80 damage if the opponent has good armor, and around 120 damage with default/normal armor.

Strategy

Tips

• Engage in a close-quarter map, as enemies are unlikely to react in time to escape.
• Instead of using the Cyber Bees to deal damage, users can alternatively use this for a one time high Rocket Jump.
• The bees have a slow travel speed, so try to use them in close to medium-range.
• It does have area damage, so using it against groups of enemies is recommended if possible.
• Be careful while moving and shooting at the same time, because you can easily walk into the bees and kill yourself.
• Use this in a map without many obstacles (typically long range maps), such as the Coliseum, to prevent enemies from hiding.(And so they don't explode when they contact a wall).
• This performs very well in Duels due to the limited amount of enemies.
• Spam it when you have the chance to use it, just be wary that you can't turn around while doing so.
• Use this to find Enemy players that are hiding.
• If there are no enemies nearby, release it high in the air and the bees will find an enemy to attack.

Counters

• Use a pet or a gadget like the Turret to divert one of the bees.
• Much like you would dodge the Clockwork Nutcracker, it is recommended to use a high mobility weapon (of at least 85) to outrun the bees, as they do have a timed explosion.
  • A fast transportation weapon such as the Pulling Sucker Gun is also recommended.
• Do not attempt to target the bees as they don’t have any HP or hitbox.
• Be in a narrow area so the bees will hit the walls and explode trying to navigate towards you.
• Use the Reflector gadget, the Turtle Shell, or the Royal Guardian to diminish the damage that you receive.
• This weapon doesn't perform well at range, so be sure to engage the user from afar.
  • A Sniper weapon can easily defeat the user while they are summoning the bees.
• If you see someone near you run by them as the bees will target the nearest player depending on how close they are.
• It is recommended to run around tight corners, as the bees must slow down considerably or explode by wall contact to be able to target you.
• Use the Sly Wolf's or Spirit Mask's shield to absorb the hit.
• Equip a gadget that boosts your health like the Demon Stone to avoid directly dying.
• Rocket Jump is highly advised for evading homing projectiles like these.
• Use a healing weapon like the Heroic Epee to tank a bee so you can survive. As 3 bees will kill you but 2 will not
• If possible, use any weapon that can disable his/her gadget, then quickly kill them before their gadget enables again
