AI Carrying Bags tips

[Valorghost]

Any times and tricks with the AI to carry bags? I am like oh sweet the AI is more useful.

*They drop the bag every five seconds.*

So... Help some heisters out and got an idea to remedy this?

Throw the bags after them. Its like you would do all the work, but they contribute so its not only you working your ass off

Yeah I do that, but then they are like whoops dropped it.

It does seem a little strange that they keep dropping them. I'm not sure what the point in this feature is if they aren't going to actually carry the bags any amount of distance. I did notice, however, that if you give bags to the bots, it counts as securing them for heists such as Mallcrasher where there is no secure location, even if the bots aren't actually on the escape zone when you leave.

Okay cool. Friend was wondering that. So that makes it a bit easier. Don't have to secure them all.

I haven't played a lot since the update, but thusfar I haven't noticed a pattern to when they seemingly-mysteriously drop bags.
I've watched them stumble, I've watched them get tazed (not downed), I've watch explosives go off nex to them, and in each of those cases they held onto the bags. But randomly when I give them a bag, turn away for 10sec and look back, at least one of the bots had dropped theirs for some unknown reason.

In the end, I can't say that I really care all that much. Imo, it's no faster (or marginally so) to give a bot a bag than it is to just hurl it in front of me and add one more bag to my chuck-train. The feature is nice in theory, but in practice it seems to be just as much work as if it didn't exist in the first place.

Shouting at them will make them drop the bag. You shoutin at them every 10 seconds?

[Toastie Buns]

Could be an issue with bots spotting and causing the bot in front of it to think "Hey, that's a command to drop the bag!"

Just speculation though.

Ye shouting at them makes them drop the bag
Moving too far from them seems like it makes the bots drop the bags and run towards you instead
Obviously bots being tazed etc makes them drop bags
