This may have been mentioned before but can we add a bot killer to the custom match option? I think it would be good for practice for newbie survivors. example: flashlights, bangs, looping.

    Going off experience with bot killers in 2v8 and intuition, bot killers are way harder to implement than survivors. 2v8 Nurse bots shred through survivors like they're a p100 nurse main or something, meanwhile Trapper bot is just generally very confused.

    Its way more work than its probably worth.

    I’ve been advocating for this exact thing for a very very long time. I’ve gotten into several long discussions about it with many people, and every survey BHVR gives out I always include it in the last part, where they let you type whatever.

    Unfortunately it’s been crickets about this. Truly disappointing, as I do not think it’s unreasonable for both roles to have access to the same learning tools and resources. I feel those that have an issue with this kind of implementation just… want to disagree for the sake of disagreeing. There’s no reason why this shouldn’t be in the game for survivors the same way it’s already been in the game for killers.

    Honestly if they finally did add them in the game, it would bring me back. All we can do is hope.

    That's fair. Even just being able to explore and test things out around a map as survivor would be nice tbh. Like just opening a custom game with no killer or somethin.

    I see no reason to at leat allow a Trapper bot in a custom game considering he already exists in the survive with bots tutorial.

    I just wanted a sandbox mode in DBD where you could play as a survivor or killer on a map by yourself. It could be useful for understanding the map layout without needing bots or other players to play.
