Should I get this game? It's abandoned by devs?

Played the game in the public beta and really liked it, it's worth it now in 2023?

If you play on PC, turn off crossplay. Trust me. Dear lord.

That statement was interesting. Why?

Because a keyboard plus mouse is a thousand times better than a controller for a shooter; on a side note, it is also cheaper to have a console than a gaming rig, so such platforms are infested with kids and underdeveloped mental lifeforms like them do not tend to play as a group in a party.

Although there is always an exception to the rule, and some console players play way better than some PC blockheads, the consensus states that matchmaking quality is usually poor if you dare to venture with them.

Because playing on the hardest difficulty and watching a common hit someone 4 times while they take 3 seconds to turn 180* on a sad plastic boomerang is painful, especially if you're healing the party and you know you'll need 3 medkits per level just to keep them up.

Uh. There is some truth here. I've never been very interested in non-PC gaming myself despite having the $ and handling for it. Damn, I decided to try non-crossplay set and despite the games being less, I am starting to feel like it's worth it (I think console players might be literally 75% of the community, fµcк). 3 games with PC-users only, no disappointments. If it keeps it like that, I'll just keep the setting. Can watch something till getting into lobby.

People will tell you it's not abandoned, because TRS said they're "finished" with it.

What I'll tell you is this is a live service game that is no longer being updated. TRS said loosely and non-committedly, they 'might' return in future, no date, no guarantee. Evolve has failed, some other game they made failed, and B4B has been failing for a very long time.

It's way better than it was in live beta, fair amount of polish went into the game but every single bug they patched out either came back, or was replaced by a new bug. You will find bugs that will force you to restart levels or even entire chapters. Only 1 teamwipe is allowed, then it's your last chance to complete the chapter, unless you have a rather expensive card that you won't get until you've unlocked a ton of cards already.

Stop lying bro. The game is not live service they're just paying for the servers so we can play online still. Live service means the development carries on. Where was the halloween update??? Where's the plans moving forward for 2024????? Where's news post about the christmas stuff coming up???

Game is dead. Accept it.

Nice necro. Yeah it had live-service aspects but it was not properly live service. Doesn't mean anything when you look at how they left this game. They added some QoL and skeeted out of here to make their next cashgrab. The QoL was nothing special either, they gave Karlee the ability to use her own toolkits that she spawns with, woohoo~ finally. I dropped some toolkits for my friend to use on a white chest, but dw, Mom and Hoffman, 2 bots, yoinked both of them, because I pinged it, and refused to use it on the chest. So even that QoL has bugs.

Uh, what? I have never seen a bot pick up any item, not even if you ping it 100 times. They certainly don't open chests.

As far as QOL, they made massive QOL changes to the game mechanics over time, but you wouldn't know that if you've barely played the game and are just here to complain.

they dont unlock chests (like the warped ones), they do unlock doors if you ping them and there do mobs around (the "got to shoot mob" ai code takes over from the "got to open door" ai code) though. they also pick up the duffel bag

sometimes you need to juggle then around for them to go to the correct spot. also if you pick up the bag and drop it it makes it that the bots cant pick it up for some weird reason

You can ping duffel bags, toolkits, and that's it I think. I've tried to make them pick up a specimen container, the bonus objective box thing, they don't wanna. Both Hoffman bot and Mom bot can do it at least. I don't even know if a bot that isn't Karlee can use a toolkit, haven't checked yet.

And most of the QoL changes they added either came with bugs, or they were mechanics that should've been in the game at launch, like Karlee being able to use the toolkit she spawns with, or making bots with Barbed Wire or Defibs pick up a quest item since they'll never use non-toolkits to begin with.
That's not QoL. That's the game working as intended. Arguing otherwise is impossible my friend. Game had potential, a crapton of potential. Now it's sitting pretty at 4162 for the past 24h, down from 65873, and this is what a GOOD day looks like. An average day has around ~2000 players. I'm past complaining mate, but my disappointment remains.

[Squeezit]

If you have friends to play with, the game is absolutely fantastic. If you're looking to play with randoms then it's a mixed bag. I only play with friends these days.

bots will never pick up specimen container that the not in their coding decompress the game pak files check the AI game files for yourself , any bots can use tool kit (only if there no ridden around 15 meter range or any ridden in their shooting view that havent got argo they will use the tool kit on supply door other that they dont do anything else with the kit ) because i trying to give the bot my dumb loadout and thinking that they will have infinite use on it only to realise that bot have fixed item they carry which will revert to that fixed item list after they use the item you given except for the gun and attachment
not to mention the default gun bots alway get upgrade bettwen act but for the gun you given to them it dont work unless you fail the round then the gun tier apply to it for some reason who know ?
