I was playing scrap battles in my heli (12k PS), and everyone got killed on my team, except for one bot. This bot had 2 mastodons, both of which were fully functional, and insisted on driving into a wall. A player on the other team tried to kill this bot, and instead of shooting it’s huge mastos at them, it drove away into ANOTHER WALL. When the player followed, the bot drove to the complete wrong side of the map (the one with the aircraft base and the abyss beneath it), while the other enemy players/bots capped our base. It didn’t even go to the enemy base, it just drove away from everyone. There was a whole 2 mins of this one bot being chased while the enemy capped our base, with no one else on our team left alive to spectate. I am unsure how the devs should fix this, so I have made a special poll with a few of my ideas for your opinions. You can also let me know in the replies if you have any other suggestions. Voting closes 8-5-2024, and no one will know who else voted or how many votes there were for each idea until after it closes.
What do to with bots
- Leave bot’s the way they are
- Buff bots to actually use their weapons properly
- Buff bots to capture the base more often
- Make bots have less armor and make them easier to kill
- Abolish bots entirely/make pvp ACTUAL pvp
- other, let me know down below
I voted “other, let me know…”.
My idea is…let ME play the bots, since their builds are better than alot of mine.

I noticed the bots are vastly different in this past update. Eagerly waiting for poll results !

There was an earlier update I believe was last year in 2023. I posted on the forum how the bots had seemed to be more aggressive and had more accuracy than preceding games before the patch.
I was quickly jousted and placed on the spit of humility over the flames from others for my comment.
Shortly after that amazingly the issue subsided . Conspiracy therory or? Who knows. A tweaking here a tweaking there simply a couple of key strokes.
Your ideas and vote options are rather limited.
“Buff bots to actually use their weapons properly” - really nigga? They are masters with autogrenade and energy weapons, Plus they calculate cannon ballistics - target speed, range. They only miss when their stupid AI makes them turn when shooting.
“Make bots have less armor and make them easier to kill” - how much more easier do you want it to be? They are far easier to kill then players as it is(if those players don’t happen to be total noobs).
What to do with bots…
First of, fix course weapon AI. They just move around uselessly most of time. It’s like they use same AI as turret weapon ones, but can’t shoot because their AI don’t steers them to use course weapons properly.
Secondly - make them capture and defend bases. Not only when they are weaponless.
Thirdly - make them more average. Some of them use Mammoth cannons while other are fragile crap with ~500 hp and glass weapons that they aren’t even using.
Other than that, I don’t care much. As much as I dislike how good they are with triggers and AG, they are still ok to deal with.
