- Deus Ex: Invisible War description

The RB-76 Military bot is a type of security and patrol bot in Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Background
Some time after the collapse, Panzerwerks become the new leader of the bots market. Its main purpose was to create new generation of military and security bots, formerly held by Page Industries and Chiang.

Characteristics
The most uncommon bot, the RB-76 Military bot are extremely tough and extremely large. It is typically deployed in open, outdoor spaces and wield a very powerful anti-personnel rocket launchers and even if you are fleeing at maximum speed from one, they can still often catch you with the radius explosion of their rockets. Luckily, their large size makes them very cumbersome and easy to avoid. They are the only bot which will survive an EMP grenade, so if you are using EMP grenades to take one out, don't face it head on as it will have time to react and end you.

Tactics
As with any other mechanical enemy tough enough to survive, a single hit from a melee weapon (such as the Energy Blade) along with Tier 3 Electrostatic Discharge will scramble the RB-76, making it turn against nearby enemies and dispatching them with relative ease. Once affected by this method, it will only become hostile again after a large amount of time, during which it can be harmlessly dispatched itself with a few subsequent hits. This also applies to Scrambler Grenades, if available.

If this isn't a viable option, keep your distance and spam EMP grenades or explosives.
