questions

Can someone explain to me what a 'freaked' bot is?

Ive been reading about it but dont understand. If someone can give an example thatd be great.

Pros and cons would also be interesting.

When you "freak" a bot you typically use armors that grant you extremely high strength bonuses to get you the best armors you can. This will give you armors you don't technically have the stats for, Ex: A Guardian Angel(Which requires 350 strength) but you only have 327 total strength. (c) bosferatu

You can also freak weapons. The most common freaked build in bots4 probably blaster mauls at lvl130.
364 base str, 94 base dex, rest con
Then you equip Black Hades, Valkyrie wing, Satans claw and Gore Rider to get 390str 130dex and equip blaster mauls.
After this you freak your armors, equip Blackhades, face of horror, Steelgrip, trollshoe and finally equip your "real" armor: kevlar fortress, heraldic feet, shade armlet gloves and kevlar casque. (some people prefer kevlar grips over SA gloves)

Then you should have a bot with something like http://edmazur.com/bots/build_calculator.php?l=130&s=364&c=88&d=94&i=10&b=113&h=69&g=48&f=47&h1=299&h2=299&sh=

Ok thanks for the explanation. That's really gamey though. How is that not considered cheating?

It actually adds something to the 'art' of bot building.

There is a downside; your equipment will take a lot more damage.

Perhaps if you have 8 stars and your strength bot you might call it an art.If you have a balanced bot and you can't get half those armours it seems a tad unfair. It always felt in bots 2 strength needed to be nerfed. Now it appears it got buffed.

Bummer you only have 6 stars.

It's tedious but possible with 0 stars. There are plenty of balanced builds that benefit from this too. It makes armor sets more powerful, which any str/dex ratio can eventually land on.
