Please let Killers load into a KYF by themselves

I get it. You all don't want to allocate a ton of resources to make bots playable against 26+ killers. That is perfectly reasonable. Just let Killers load into a custom match with no survivors so they can practice blinks, chainsaw curves, hatchet throws, etc. without having to struggle through a bunch of ego-destroying matches. I cannot think of a reason why this would be difficult to implement.

    And if for some reason this wouldn't be possible because the game has to load in at least one survivor and generators to complete, then just put in 1 AFK bot to fill the role.

    That would be nice and should be easy to implement. I have the game on Switch and PC, so I often do practice kyf games with a survivor on Switch in handheld mode and practice as killer on PC.

    Yeah, anyone should be able to load into an "empty" map or if it's absolutely needed just load a bot up with no "AI" that just stands there so the match can start.

    From learning map layouts, simply trying powers and whatever else - it's a little thing that shouldn't require nearly as much effort as making bots that take perks/powers/whatever into account and it would be pretty nice by itself.

    No. If you want to play nurse you must be humiliated and embarrassed otherwise everybody would play her /s

    Yeah, it's not that hard to implement. Through mean idk if I'm allowed to say on the forums, they already have solo kyf matches and that's made from the community.

    Escape from Tarkov has an offline mode that you can use to learn the maps, your controls, etc. A practice mode would be very nice when learning a new killer's power. That being said I rather earn bp while learning, but I support this.

    AFK survivor bot would be needed for Oni

    yeah this game needs to add basic features. adding more killers to training mode shouldn't be that difficult. the current trapper survivors are good enough.

    I'd really like to load in as a single player in a kyf to get more familiar with some of the maps. A friend and I ran around RPD for 20 minutes just to look at the map once.

    There's absolutely no reason to not allow this.

    Supporting this.
