New Trait: The Robot

Paper Pirates · published 24 Mar 2025, 08:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Joining Paper Pirates today is the new trait, The Robot!

Beep boop to all and ghosts! The Robot is a new active trait, available in all Traits+ games. The Robot is our first dual-trait, in that it occupies both the active and passive slot. If you're chosen to be The Robot at the start of the voyage, your passive trait will be automatically set to Deactivated.

On days when The Robot does not play in, they may activate one of their four special modes, replacing Deactivated as their passive trait. The four modes The Robot can activate are:

  • Psychic Mode: Whenever a pirate goes overboard, you can check whether they were a human or a ghost.
  • Silent Mode: Whenever The Robot casts a vote at the end of the day, it will show as if they passed. If their vote throws a pirate overboard, voting will still end as usual.
  • Assassin Mode: The Robot will always vote first during voting, unless the voyage features The Assassin, when they will instead vote second.
  • Disguised Mode: Whenever a pirate checks The Robot's team through an event or trait, The Robot's team will show as the opposite of their true team (e.g., a human Robot will show as a ghost).


The Robot's mode will remain the same until they choose to change it, which they can do so freely any time they don't play in.

The Robot's power to emulate other passive traits makes it very unique. There's bound to be some super sneaky tactics by switching in and out of particular traits at a whim!
