During the bot wars I went and got my hands on a strange stickybomb launcher. Started going into games on 2fort and occasionally doublecross and setting up shop in dropdown or behind spawn in courtyard or whatever you call that area in dc. If you do things right you can start getting the bots to walk in in waves of 4-5 at a time after a couple minutes, tho you gotta be careful where you stand.(crouching helps to not get shot) Over about a year and a half I racked up around 6k bot kills. I only ever used this launcher for bots, if I got into a game with real people I swapped over to a different launcher purely so I could track bot kills. I learned of this mechanic some 10 years ago or so by accident
