why is no one talking about the bots

[REALiNSaNgAMingGODPrODIgY]

people say can i play this game solo but i never knew this game had bots and its so much fun solo with bots

[Dj DNA]

Because even with the bots you can't finish the game :).

Bots are indeed fun, although there is much left to be desired with them.

I've done a review post long ago (at least when they added the bots) about the bots that got buried down but I like them, and I'm happy for the levels I can play despite not finishing a full rundown with them. I got to play all levels except C1 for Rundown 1 with just the bots. That level actually needs players doing their role.

Because all the talk about bots already happen

https://www.reddit.com/r/GTFO/comments/ru9sdb/a_guide_and_informational_post_for_bots_in_gtfo/

This is a full blown guide about bots i wrote when they released in r6 (even play tested them a little before release)

https://www.reddit.com/r/GTFO/comments/s2weqe/a_follow_up_of_bots_feedback_and_ideas/

Made a feedback post and everything

But even after that they didn't really touch bots too much since r6 apart from fixing some super annoying bugs (like bots dropping items on the floor when climbing ladders making it borderline unplayable) or giving them an extra feature like bots using lock melters on doors and boxes

Sad to inform you that bots are design to be played with 2 players 2 bots, theyre mostly design to fill in the shoes of the extra two players since most objective can be done by 2 humans,1 player 3 bot experience it honestly misrepresent how the game is and its just a micromanaging fest that will show more apparent their flaws.

They do always say that they're "looking into improve bots" but thats honestly a corporate response and i dont really see changing them too much during this borrowed time they have by release older rundowns but if they do i will praise them for doing it.

Edit: Also when people say you can play this game solo they mean the people who spend quite literally have 1000+ hours soloing levels, true soloing levels mind you, with no bots, there have been people who beat levels with 3 bots but its not encourage since it doesnt really help new people because its the same people with 1000+ hours soloing levels with bots instead of by themselves, so yeah if you struggling i do recommend joining discord and making some friends there

Bots do their job better than players in the coop, it's similar to payday 2. I've never experienced in the COOP that I'm given ammunition or packages for healing. The AI ​​in GTFO even supports each other. This makes the AI ​​in GTFO even more human and social than any player on Steam.

Bots are better than bad players, but they're pretty mediocre otherwise. They struggle to use a lot of weapons, will waste resources every now and then, and their AI makes them pretty annoying to maneuver at times.

we've done all of R1 and all of R2 except for E1, but we got very close and made a mistake at the end.

R7 can mechanically not be finished with bots.

[Eze]

They talk about them in Feedback and when potential purchasers want to know if they're competent enough for this game to bo solo'ed (short answer: no).

The bots lack the AI to deal with R7E1. And that is if you make it to R7E1. The bots don't do scans on R7C2, they are useless in the first part of R7C3. R7D1 clearly is designed for thinking players but can be done it just takes rng with bots. (so your completion completely depends on luck). R7D2 only works if you are 2 bots, 2 players otherwise is not doable with bots.

Ofc I'm talking legit clears, no exploits.


I mean it is known that this game is not meant to be done solo or duo, the devs said themselves you should not be able to. If people want to, be my guest, you'll just never finish it.

he doesn't time giant staggers with bots lmao

also you don't need 1k hrs playing with bots to understand them, literally done r2e1 with bots third try and i've barely even did anything bot related beforehand, i just wanted to do it because i hate how some people consider bot solos anything remarkable

Badger you hate pretty much anything at this point :)

yea for example people who mock other players and spreading misinformation, such as you

I never mocked another player and I do not spread misinformation. But you do you.

ok it's fairly easy to do r7c3 first part with bots, because there's always enough foam consumables to foam every giant

i have no idea what are you smoking if you say r7c2pe is not doable with bots lmao

r7d2 is also very doable, all you do is, open mom zone, get area a cell, kill mom, then either run to extract or kill mom then run to extract

but apparently these are not very doable according to you

Again badger, I always take perspective from the AVERAgE player. And yes they will not do it. R7C2 is bugged as the bots do not do the scans for a lot of people, I did not say it can't be done it just takes more work.

As for R7C3 when at start if the room wakes up it's pretty much gg cause the bots will go on and suicide themselves on the first giant, again this is going off of Average players, not you who are sitting at 4k hours.
I know you are one of the best players out there (cos damn you good) but when you tell new players they can solo this game you are lying to them because you can (Altho R7E1 is with cheese iirc, and I know you did legit first but that was with a TEAM) but they can't.
