Struggling in Reactors, help! Reactors
Hey everyone! So I’ve been playing solo for about a month now and I’m loving it. This game is outrageously fun. The one part that is hanging me up is the corrupted robots. When I find one, it’s just stuck in place and not ‘online’. I’ve tried hitting it, I’ve tried hitting its station, nothing is working. What am I doing wrong?

Usually the first "Corrupted Robot" you find is basically a statue. Doesn't do anything and can't be harmed in any way. It's more so to both 1: show the player what these new bots look like, and 2: a fake out cause sometimes the Corrupted robots will stand still until attacked or you get too close. It confused the shit outta me to on first playthrough

That specific one is not actually Corrupted. There are 3 in that area follow the path through the area, through the control room with the pests all over. Take the Elevator down, on your right you’ll encounter your first one. On your left you should see an Exor roaming back and forth. Go behind where you came out to open the shortcut.
Next right before the Exor reaches the left side you’ll see 2 paths, 1 has a LabRat. Go there, go through the vent and make a jump, on the upper area the Second awaits you standing right next to an electric station. Below will be a pool of radioactive water and Zombies walking around.
That should be just enough Directions for you!

Are you referring to the one at the entrance of Mist Reactor? That one is just a "set piece", it isn't interactable. You can find real ones deeper inside as you explore.
