DC replacement bots are treated the same as players in public trials. Mostly, anyway. A survivor DCing while being carried to a hook or while on the hook does nothing to change the credit/points the killer gets. It's just a self-defeating temper tantrum. The survivor loses everything (BPs/exp/pips/items) in exchange for having no affect on the trial or killer. In fact, it can actually be a benefit to the killer/remaining survivors, as they get quitter bonus BPs.
That being said, the game does treat bots differently in some ways. Such as bots can spam vault windows a lot and the game ("Entity") won't lock the window.
Weirdly enough, bots can also see the gate that comes up for killers when the exit is open to keep killers from "exiting" the trial, and they see it as something they can't go through and will turn around and run away. So if a bot is really near the exit, as the killer just run in to the end of the exit hallway and trigger the gate, then chase/down the bot as it tries to run away.

What happens to a killer's BPs/Rank pips/Challenges etc. when a survivor DCs before last hook?
Now that there are bots, why do survivors DC on last hook? Especially as the last survivor, since it doesn't look like it takes away my 4k. Does it impact anything for me or the other players who did not display any lack of emotional maturity?
Example: a good match where I was trying to get The Plague to prestige for the teachables. Got down to 1 gen remaning and had a lot of good chases and loops even though I have barely learned the killer. Finally, at the end, a player who I had not seen much until the end (could have been focused on gens?) comes out looking for the hatch and I get him down. DCs while on the way to the hook. Obviously, still throw him on and finish the match.
Up front: new to DBD so I have only played since the DCs bring a bot and have no reference to what is better (bot vs no bot). I have noticed that there are a LOT of DCs if you are doing well in a match, even when not doing all the "soft rule" stuff that is considered bad game. Can't imagine how often the match would just end if they ended on a DC.

Thanks, exactly the information I was wondering about. And thanks for the tip! I tend to just hit the bots and then let them run away and hopefully do something useful for the rest of the team until the end when I will focus on them for the kills. Might as well let any players that get away get some extra BP.
