What doesn't matter is how long your bot survives, but rather, how much damage and/or beacon caps it can perform before dying.

The cossack and rogathka simply do not have the firepower or health to take a well-defended beacon, unlike a rhino, carnage, or galahad. This is why we call those bots "power runners". Conventional cappers are useless in the higher tiers because the beacon objective shifts from just having to capture beacons to having to both capture and hold beacon due to a lower average bot speed. Due to this, beacons tend to be much more well-defended, any runner will simply get melted by mid range or close range.

Cappers in the higher tiers simply do not do the damage or the beacon caps to justify their use.

And don't get me started on the Raijin.
