===How to Kill===
An Orun collector bot can be evaded with the use of one strafe key. Shots you fire from '''within 500 meters''' will usually score hits, unless you are flying with auto-aim off or before your HUD indicator turns yellow. Just like the basic flight test. These are your target if you need a forgiving enemy to learn against.

===How to Kill===
Similar to the Orun, a Kannik can be evaded with the use of one strafe key. This bot's weapons are very slightly more powerful. Shots you fire from '''within 500 meters''' will usually score hits (see above). I have seen a Kannik collector fire at me and miss while I was sitting still.

===How to Kill===
Once again, this model of bot can probably be evaded using a single strafe key. Shots you fire from '''within 400 meters''' will usually score hits. The Dentek is a pleasant bot to learn against. It will take a bit more effort to kill than Oruns or Kanniks, in part due to the increase in armor.

===How to Kill===
You may succeed in evading Artemis fire with one strafe key, but most people use two. Use some distance control to stay '''within 300 meters''' of this model. This is where the money is at in collector bots. The Artemis has the most armor, but also the best experience reward per kill.
