Overview[1]
Cylinder; Impossible spawn (After the Overhaul update); N/A; Visual HumanoidRootPart (Full real name); Error/Bug The Red Cylinder (to be officially called Humanoid Root Part/HumanoidRootPart) appears, when the image of nextbot fail to load, acting as a visible placeholder when this bug appears. However, the kill and idle 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 nextbots collisions, CFrame calculations, and Velocity calculations.

October 13th, 2024 Overhaul Presumably removed/fixed/replaced Red Cylinder. July 18th, 2026 Summer 2026 Red Cylinder has been returned as a visible part of Nextbots, When their image isn't loading properly.
Patch history
As of July 18th, 2026, there is confirmation of the existence of the Red Cylinder in current version of Evade (see gallery). If a nextbots 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 you can see the image of the nextbot behind the house where everyone gets on, but it is very far away. As of September 29th, 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. When the player passes by nextbot, they may hear the sound of bullets shooting.
