Helperbot Forsaken: Release Date, Time, Stats and Everything Confirmed
Helperbot Forsaken joins the survivor roster 16 Oct 2026, 23:00 UTC (7 PM EDT). Stats vs the other Supports, lore, tested abilities and what is still unknown.
Helperbot Forsaken release: the cardboard robot joins the survivor roster on Friday, 16 October 2026 at 23:00 UTC, which is 7:00 PM EDT on the US East Coast. That time comes from Roblox itself. The FORSAKEN game page carries an official event called "Helperbot Survivor", hosted by the verified Forsaken Dev Team group, with the subtitle "A new survivor..." and the line "Helperbot will be joining the Roster on October 16th!" Its listed window runs from 16 October 2026, 23:00 UTC, to 23 October 2026, 23:00 UTC. The Official Forsaken Wiki gives the same date, citing the developers' own trailer, "The Helperbot | Forsaken", uploaded to the ForsakenRBLX YouTube channel on 10 October 2026. Helperbot is a Support survivor with 80 HP, the standard survivor walk speed of 12, run speed of 26 and 100 stamina. Once he is out, Forsaken has 13 survivors instead of 12, and the Support class grows from four members to five. This page collects every documented fact about him: the launch time in your time zone, his stats next to the other Supports, who he is in the game's story, the abilities the wiki has recorded from public testing (with the wiki's own warning that they may change), and a plain list of what nobody has confirmed yet. It will be updated in place once he is live and the wiki fills in the gaps.

Helperbot Release Date and Time in Every Major Time Zone
The Roblox event listing gives one exact moment, 23:00 UTC on 16 October 2026. The conversions below are simple arithmetic from that UTC time. October is still daylight-saving season in the United States (until 1 November 2026) and in the United Kingdom (until 25 October 2026), and Sydney moved to daylight time on 4 October, so the offsets below are the summer ones. For players in Europe and Asia-Pacific the launch lands on Saturday, 17 October. The listing describes when the event starts; it does not say whether the in-game update goes out at that exact minute, so if servers need a restart or a short delay, the official Discord is where the developers announce it.

What Is Confirmed About Helperbot (as of 15 October 2026)
A character this close to release attracts a lot of guesses. These are the points that rest on an official source or on the Official Forsaken Wiki, which cites its own sources line by line. Each one says where it comes from, so you can check it yourself.

Helperbot Stats Compared With the Other Four Support Survivors
Every Forsaken survivor moves at the same speed, so the stat lines that separate Supports are health, price and the difficulty rating the wiki assigns. Helperbot enters with 80 HP, level with Elliot and below Builderman and Dusekkar (90) and Taph (100). Across the whole 12-survivor roster, only Jane Doe (60), Chance at the bottom of his 58–130 range, and Two Time in his second life (50) can sit lower. That makes Helperbot one of the more fragile survivors on paper, which matters for a character whose recorded abilities work at short range around teammates. His price and difficulty are blank because the wiki leaves them unlisted until release; this table will be filled in when they are known.
| Support survivor | Health | Walk / run | Stamina | Cost (Player Points) | Difficulty | Main tools (wiki overview) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Helperbot (from 16 Oct 2026) | 80 | 12 / 26 | 100 | Not listed | Unknown | Pulse and Inspire (eye-witness, may change) |
| Elliot | 80 | 12 / 26 | 100 | Free | 2 | Pizza Throw (healing), Rush Hour |
| Builderman | 90 | 12 / 26 | 100 | 500 | 3 | Sentry (slows the killer), Dispenser (healing) |
| Taph | 100 | 12 / 26 | 100 | 600 | 2 | Tripwire, Subspace Tripmine (stall the killer) |
| Dusekkar | 90 | 12 / 26 | 100 | 600 | 5 | Spawn Protection (shield), Plasma Beam |

Who Helperbot Is: From Lobby Wreck to Survivor
Helperbot has been in Forsaken for a long time, just not as someone you could play. The wiki's lore section for him still reads "TBA", but his overview, his NPC page and his relationships section already tell a clear story.
D3functB0t, the broken robot in the lobby
Before he was a survivor, he was a lobby NPC called D3functB0t: a partially destroyed Mr. Robot machine made of wires, cardboard and metal. His wiki page says he is "slowly being repaired by Builderman using the spare parts of generators", and that this NPC is planned to become the survivor Helperbot. His lobby dialogue is written in number-for-letter text with emoticons, and by patch 5.1.0 one of his lines was "1 G0T MY 4RM B4CK TH0!!!", a running joke about the repair job. The wiki also shows him in a Christmas outfit for "The C00lest Christmas!" update in 2025. For more on the lobby itself, see /blog/forsaken-lobby-map-guide-secrets.
A robot built to help creators
The Helperbot overview describes him as "a robot made to assist and inspire ROBLOX creators", a curious robot who loves speaking with emoticons and "was an inspiration and a guide to many people within Robloxia". After he arrived in the realm of The Spectre, he was nicknamed D3functB0t, and Builderman repaired him with generator parts. That gives him an obvious in-story bond with Builderman, the Support survivor who already builds a Sentry and a Dispenser in rounds.
Friends on the roster
Two other survivors already appear in his entry. Veeronica, his one listed relationship, left a handwritten "get well soon" sticky note on the desk beside him while he recovered. And his only recorded flavor line so far is aimed at Elliot, requesting pizza: "beep bop blork PIZZA PLEASE". The wiki's trivia confirms that, despite being a robot, he can eat Elliot's pizzas and use Medkits, so Elliot's healing works on him like on anyone else. The trivia also notes he would never say a curse word.
Where Mr. Robot comes from
Outside Forsaken, Helperbot is a real piece of Roblox history. He is the NPC from Welcome to Roblox Building, an official Roblox sandbox game that entered beta in December 2010, where players built houses, statues and contraptions. He is one of several Mr. Robot characters: Roblox introduced Mr. Robot with a catalog hat on 25 September 2009 and a Mr. Robot bundle on 15 August 2018, and used him in promotional material, key art, merchandise and the Roblox Anthem video. The 2018 ROBLOX Character Encyclopedia (Alexander Cox, HarperCollins) asks whether he is "a real robot or just a man with a cardboard box on his head", which fits his Forsaken look: a slim Robloxian body of flat iron wrapped in cardboard and aluminium foil, an upside-down box for a head with a face drawn in black marker, and three wobbly antennas.
What the Support Class Does in Forsaken
The wiki splits survivors into three categories: Sentinels (Shedletsky, Chance, Guest 1337, Two Time, Jane Doe), Supports (Elliot, Builderman, Taph, Dusekkar) and Survivalists (Noob, 007n7, Veeronica). Helperbot is filed as the fifth Support. A Forsaken round puts one killer against everyone else in the server, and servers hold up to 9 players, so a Support can have as many as seven teammates to help. Survivors win by staying alive until the round timer hits zero, and finishing generator puzzles takes time off that clock. Supports do not fight the killer head-on the way Sentinels can; their abilities keep other players alive or slow the killer down. The full class roster sits on /forsaken-survivors, and every survivor is listed with stats on /blog/forsaken-survivors-list-2026.
Healers: Elliot and Builderman
Elliot's Pizza Throw patches teammates up during or after chases, and Rush Hour helps him get away or reach someone who needs healing. Builderman's Dispenser is a healing source, while his Sentry slows the killer to protect whoever is being chased. Guides: /blog/forsaken-elliot-survivor-guide and /blog/forsaken-builderman-survivor-guide.
Stallers and shields: Taph and Dusekkar
Taph's Tripwire and Subspace Tripmine slow down and stall the killer so others can flee. Dusekkar's Spawn Protection shields survivors from damage and his Plasma Beam helps in chases; at difficulty 5 he is the hardest Support to play. Both are covered in /blog/forsaken-taph-dusekkar-veeronica-guide.
Where Helperbot fits
The wiki summarises his kit in one sentence: "His abilities allow him to boost other survivors and allow them to use their abilities faster." No other Support is described that way. Elliot and Builderman restore health, Taph and Dusekkar control or block the killer, and Helperbot, if the tested kit ships as recorded, buffs teammates: a burst of healing and damage reduction, and a field that makes their cooldowns run faster. That would make him the class's team amplifier, strongest when he is close to survivors whose own abilities matter.
Helperbot Abilities Recorded During Public Testing
The Official Forsaken Wiki does list abilities for Helperbot, but under an "Eye Witness" notice: the content "is written based on eye-witness accounts and may not be accurate", and "the content listed is subject to change and may not be present in the final version." The editors' own notes say the passive is "assumed" to be a passive, the ability names were read from the cooldown text, and Inspire's cooldown is "extremely estimated". Treat every row below as what testers saw, not as the final kit. Status-effect meanings come from the wiki's Status Effects page; more on those effects at /blog/forsaken-status-effects-guide.
| Ability (as recorded) | Cooldown | Windup | What it does | Effect meaning (wiki Status Effects) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Passive (name TBA) | Every 12 s | — | Reveals every item and generator to all survivors for 2 s | — |
| Pulse | 40 s | 2.5 s | Hand to left ear, sends a blue pulse around him; survivors inside get Regeneration I and Resistance I for 5 s | Regeneration heals over time (level 1: 3.75 HP per second); Resistance I = 20% less damage taken |
| Inspire | 45 s (wiki: "extremely estimated") | 0.75 s | Taps right wrist; a faint blue orb follows him for up to 10 s and gives survivors within 10 studs Haste V until it ends; cancelled if he takes damage | Haste raises the rate cooldowns tick down by 10% per level, so at level V cooldowns run down in half the time |

Not Known Yet About Helperbot
As of 15 October 2026, no official source documents the following. Anything you read elsewhere about these points is a guess until the update ships or the developers say otherwise: his Player Points price or whether he is free; his difficulty rating; the final names, cooldowns and numbers of his abilities, including what the passive is called; whether Inspire's cooldown is really 45 seconds; any skins, Milestone skins or emotes for him; his full lore (the wiki's lore section is "TBA"); and whether the "Helperbot Survivor" event that ends on 23 October 2026 comes with anything beyond his arrival. The listing's description talks about him "joining the Roster", and nothing in it suggests he is a limited-time character. The same progress report says The Stalker and The Ringmaster "should follow soon enough" but that the team is "not locked in on exact timing yet"; their status is tracked on /blog/forsaken-upcoming-killers-roadmap-2026.
Helperbot FAQ
Short answers to the Helperbot questions people search most, each tied to its source.
When does Helperbot come out in Forsaken?
Friday 16 October 2026 at 23:00 UTC, per the official Roblox event listing "Helperbot Survivor" from the Forsaken Dev Team. That is 7:00 PM EDT, 4:00 PM PDT, midnight in the UK and 10:00 AM Saturday in Sydney. The Official Forsaken Wiki gives the same date, citing the developers' trailer of 10 October 2026.
How much HP does Helperbot have?
80 HP according to his wiki infobox, the same as Elliot. Like every survivor, he walks at 12, runs at 26 and has 100 stamina, draining 10 and regaining 20 per second.
Is Helperbot a Support or a Sentinel?
A Support. The wiki lists his playstyle as Support and files him in the Supports category with Elliot, Builderman, Taph and Dusekkar, making him the fifth member of that class and the 13th survivor overall.
How much does Helperbot cost?
Not announced. His wiki infobox has no cost field yet. For comparison, the other Supports cost nothing (Elliot), 500 Player Points (Builderman) and 600 (Taph and Dusekkar). This answer will be updated when the price is known.
Who is Helperbot based on?
The Helperbot NPC from Roblox's official game Welcome to Roblox Building, one of the Mr. Robot characters Roblox owns, which is why Roblox is credited on his wiki page alongside Enoderen, who created his moveset. In Forsaken's lobby he spent months as the broken D3functB0t while Builderman repaired him with generator parts.
Helperbot Launch Night and What This Page Adds Next
Helperbot is the first of the three characters named in the September progress report to ship, ahead of The Stalker and The Ringmaster; once all three are out, the developers say "it'll be a wrap on this Chapter". Everything solid about him today is his launch time, his 80 HP Support stat line, his origin as a Roblox mascot and his story as the robot Builderman rebuilt in the lobby. Everything about his abilities is still provisional. Once he is live on 16 October, this page will be updated with the released ability numbers, his price and difficulty, and any skins that ship with him, each checked against the Official Forsaken Wiki. Until then, the class he joins is mapped out on /forsaken-survivors.
