Bots are a true blessing, thanks devs for adding such technology into the game.

    I mean, the Killer gets more points thanks to Bots. This is their main purpose I guess.

    yea but....what about the survivor side?

    it's either they are gods at loops or too scared to do gens and can't do risky unhooks or even if the killer is barely around it.

    I mean, they SHOULD also help Survivors. But from my experience so far, the Bot only helps the Killer by providing BPs and triggering Hook-Perks. They are barely useful (they even blow up Gens), and the game is still a 3v1 with them.

    But yeah, haha, maybe they are better than your teammates, haha, funny Joke.

    I get the feeling that bots are using recorded player behaviors at random or have some sort of "personality" pre-roll when they get spawned in. So they mimic the actions of a type of player. So you end up with a lot of bots who seem programmed to be the "troll" or the "immersed"

    It depends, against m1 killers they absolutely juice sometimes but against more complicated killers and doing anything that isn't gens they're not the smartest.

    I still think they're an upgrade over the average soloQ teammate.

    Isn’t it funny that we get a nerf on 100% BPs with PTS and get dumb bots, yet the killers get more BPs ultimately in the end.

    I'm pretty sure they're all programmed to be different in the same way players are all different, so some are better than others and it's just luck of the draw. I had two bots against a Nurse yesterday. One was useless and couldn't last seconds in chase so was out asap. The other one was cracked and kept running the killer until she'd give up chase. I'd heal her up and she'd be back to running the killer. She outlasted me and the other player, zero hook states, and I'm pretty sure she made a hatch play because she didn't save me off hook 🤣

    I'm just imagining a toxic bot T bagging you afew times and doing afew fake unhook attempts before leaving you on hook. Next update will have them type in endgame chat "GGEZ, my teammates sucked".

    The only time I have seen a bot so far was against a Skull Merchant on RPD (frankly, makes sense why somebody would DC)

    But I think the specific interaction with drones may break bots, because they avoided the circles like the plague, and accidentally caused a 3-gen to happen by repairing everything on one side.
