Can you play 2-3 player coop heists? Like 2 or 3 of my friends and the remaining AI?

[Lockhartsaint]

Sorry for the noob question. But, I just picked up this game so....that's why!
Any help would be appreciated!

There is 4 players max... So if it eill be you and 2 friends you will get one A.I. if it will be you and 3 friends no A.I.for you
It can be 4 human player or 1 human player and 2 A.I

In short it is combination of players A.I or human up to maximum of 4

The host can also turn off AI units when creating the lobby

Well I don't know any player that does that but yeah they can turn it

i used to turn the ai off all the time.
then i used to use 10 or more ai. (single player).
now i only use 1 ai.

you can turn them off all together or, by using mods, you can add 1, 2 or 3 ai to your team.
so yeah, if you wanted, you can only have 2 or 3 real players and no ai if you dont want them.

Yes

The AI is a little braindead but yes - you can play with AI. Bots will fill up empty slots in the lobby and attempt to pad the team up to 4, although the base game currently has a limit of two bots at max. I would personally suggest looking into the Better Bots mod if you intend to play with bots. It makes them a lot more fun to play with.

So, mostly I will be playing with two other friends. Is it good that I have A.I turned on or should I turn it off? Since you said...they're a little braindead!

I say keep the AI on. Sometimes, it might just do something nice.

And it serves as a distraction for the cops in worst-case scenario too.

Having bots is always better than not having them. The bots may be dumb, but they have a lot of constantly-regenerating health, infinite ammo and infinite downs, plus they generally do what you tell them. With the new ability to ask bots to hold position, they're genuinely better than some of the players you'll run into in random public lobbies :)

The Better Bots mod mostly makes bots better able to follow you (so they don't fall behind as much), be a bit smarter around Special Cops and also prevents them from getting completely stun-locked by the SWAT Van Turret. It's an improvement, but you don't necessarily NEED it.

If you have 1 more player or AI, you get more enemies.

Player, yes. AI, no. Enemy spawns scale to the number of human players in the game. They do not scale to the number of bots.
