You can blackjack alerted guards through doors if you stand in front of the door. This is assuming the door blocks AI vision. Door with windows do not.
You can also blackjack alerted guards around corners.
I've used the door exploit many times to take out Haunts with the blackjack. It takes quite a few hits to do this.
The blackjack can clip through prison cell bars allowing you to KO AI that are close enough. Sometimes crouching and looking up slightly while swinging the BJ helps with the stubborn cell bars.
Using the sword with the corner exploit works well with Haunts due to the sword's reach.
In T2 you can also use corners to get the large combat bots to destroy themselves when they fire at you and hit the wall instead.

I've had them blow themselves up in too narrow of a passageway but then got stuck and had to reload and try something different. If you have enough fire arrows or other explosives you can clear out the debris but when you don't it stinks.

Hitting them with your blackjack enough should clear the debris too, no?

If it does I'm definitely not hitting the debris enough times.

Eight hits should be enough to break a disabled bot into its boiler and other parts. The boiler can be picked up as junk and the rest should disappear on its own after some time (the same way zombies break into multiple parts but only leave their head and torso in the end).

I'll give that a try. That'll save having to go back through save games and go through some areas again.

Just managed to crush a Mech bot under an elevator platform in Bad Blood 2, kind of obvious that is a possible way of destroying them, but don't think I've ever manged to lure a Mech bot into an elevator shaft before. Managed to do this now as the elevator in the bank is not a standard one with doors that Mech bots can't fit through but more of a cage surrounding the elevator platform with a very much wider aperture.

There are quite a few areas you can do this in Sabotage where there are elevator platforms that are not in shafts. I could never destroy those spider bots this way though. Those things always freak me out with their double heads.

i discovered just a few minutes ago that if you run out of water arrows, there is another way to douse fires...
the splash from a frogbeast egg breaking will also put out fires

Does it work on fire shadows and fire elementals as well? Need to check that out, but might have problems getting close enough to fire elementals to hit them.
