The only way to make bots useful

[Vantal]

Is for you as a player to be able to customise them, or at least them have the upgrade/abilities you have for the same class. That would not only make them much more useful but also encourage players to try new classes and explore more of the game.

It's literally a win win and other than devs not bothered about solo players, there's no reason not to do it.

i agree. but i also think they should bother with solo players because buffing solo means they will still make money.

pay day 2 learned this lesson and so did vermintide 2. even in the MMO space, solo is getting buffed because eventually population wanes.

Maybe they can also improve AI behaviour, there are many times when the AI team mates just opened up on Zekes without silencers bringing up unnecessary fights.

only time they call a swarm is when the one throws out grenades. all of their guns are silenced.

I read that once silence is broken in an area, it stays broken. The only way to get silence back is to advance to a new, quiet area. The bots then immediately put away their weapons.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell when you've broken the silence yourself. Car alarms that I set off, for example, are hardly audible, but the bots hear them and pull out their automatic weapons until we reach the next checkpoint.
