Removed This page is about a feature that has since been removed from the game. Red Cylinder will most likely not be returning. Reason: He got replaced/edited in the Overhaul |
The Red Cylinder appears when the images of Nextbots fail to load. However, the idle and kill sounds will function as normal. Red Cylinder is, contrary to popular belief, NOT the Nextbots hitbox, the nextbots use a bullet to kill the player. It is only used for the Nextbot's collisions, CFrame calculations, and Velocity calculations. The Red Cylinder has a low chance of appearing, but will affect any Nextbot, the Red Cylinder is mainly caused by client visual issues.
The Red Cylinder is a failure or bug that can be caused by nextbot's performance failure, this event is fairly likely to happen.
It is only a visual bug, however, the idle audio of the affected nextbot will be muted, the only way to identify the affected nextbot is to listen to its kill sound.
Overview[]
Appearance[]

Humanoid AIs such as the Rebels and the Troopers can also appear as red cylinders, but they are much wider and slightly shorter.
Trivia[]
- If a bot fails to load on Maze or Loop, you can see the Red Cylinder through walls.
- The Red Cylinder can be highlighted by Beacons. * when Red Cylinder hits a player it’s black/yellow hinge shoots a bullet depending on where the hinge is pointing.
- When this bug occurs, the idle sound doesn't play but the kill sounds still work and when it appears, all the other nextbots are affected with this bug too, meaning some of them won't play their idle sound even if their image is still on screen.
- On some maps, you can see the nextbots image stuck on a solid ground. (You won't be able to see them because the image gets flung way to fast but sometimes they get caught in the ground, Example: on the desert bus map you can see the image of the nextbot behind the house where everyone gets on, but it is very far away).
- As of September 29, 2023, the red cylinder can no longer rotate its yellow hinge unless it hits something, making it difficult for nextbots to shoot because they always face the same direction and you have to be 3 studs away. distance for them to shoot at you, the same goes for the rebels, they can't look back, therefore they can't shoot unless you are in front of them.
- The Red Cylinder also represents a Nextbot HumanoidRootPart .
- In the overhaul the red cylinder changes its appearance to be like the red cylinder of the rebels, but gray, but apparently they do not have their classic yellow hinge, for now we do not know if the nextbots kill by shot or by contact.
- After the Overhaul update, this error is no longer visible.
Reason for Removal[]
- He got replaced/fixed in the Overhaul.
