Whats the best weapon to give the AI now?

[PFC Demigo [29th ID]]

Since Shotgun sucks.

[Thermal Lance]

brenner :D and give thanatos to one of them.

[Minecraft Steve]

Brenner (LMG), Thanatos (Sniper)
If you dislike the Thanatos, you can consider the R93(Sniper).
If you want a shotgun, consider the Steakout12G (Shotgun).

Alright Thx

[Z3r0_]

Two buzzsaws, one thanatos.

[CazConnery770]

lmgs all the way. only other reasonable alternative is the auto shotties (IZMAH12, Steakout) in my experience. Sometimes Snipers work, as mentioned above, if they're strong enough.

R93 is the best all-rounder. The extra damage on the Thanatos is often wasted, so no idea why that's being recommended.

5 shot gap for dozer, probably why...

Eh, Dozers are easy enough to take down. I'd be more concerned about whether or not my bots can handle the flood of enemies.

I personally went for a LMG/Sniper/Shotgun distribution. And I'd have them hold at certain positions depending on which weapon they were using. But, that's just me.

The rate of fire gap between both weapon is barely 10 while the magazine is 1, making any merit of R93 easily overshadow by Thanatos. Since bot doesn't consume ammo, it is a good reason to prefer Thanatos over R93 since the gap in damage is about 3,020 (82.28%). Dozer might be easy enough to handle, but the time needed to take it down was significantly reduce if you take into circumstances of the gun rof.

I've found the AA12 very effective

does gun modifications comes into play?

From The Long Guide:

Originally posted by "The Long Guide":

Similarly, the Thanatos excess damage compared to the R93 is often wasted because it exceeds enemy hitpoints; in contrast, the R93 falls exactly on many breakpoints. Because body shots are more likely than headshots, sniper should ideally have enough damage to take out specials with one bodyshot. I.e. 900 damage on OK, 1800 on DW, 2700 on OD. The R93 has 1800 damage in a 25 m range and 900 damage afterwards, so it is a strong option for OK+DW. In fact the 900 damage for long ranges also guarantees instant kills with headshots on OD, so the R93 is really well rounded. The Rattlesnake has essentially the same power the same as the R93 for short ranges on OD but with a faster effective rate of fire.

Overall, the most versatile weapon is probably the R93.

Weapon mods on AI weapons are purely cosmetic, including shotgun ammo payloads.

Nope, you only need to care about gun accuracy.

Gun modification is only a cosmetic for the AI.

Oh, I see the issue here. You know bot guns don't deal the same damage as players, right?

The bot R93 does 1800 while the bot Thanatos does 2250.
