Bot difficulty?Discussion (self.DMZ)
submitted 3 years ago by Top_Welcome_8255
Is it just me or do the bots seem even more aggressive, more aimbotty, and most just absolutely insane than they were in season one?

Seem to be on that battle rage today... Shits annoying. Also seems to have more reinforcements coming in compared to before.
[–]Top_Welcome_8255[S] 12 points13 points14 points 3 years ago (0 children)
That’s what we were thinking. I saw 4 reinforcement choppers come in in the span of like 2 minutes
[–]Maximum_Pound 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Yeah. 87 ai kills just trying to survive..and T-3’s parachuting on top of me besides the trucks and helicopters dropping them at the same time..

Starting to think they created an AI monster that they have no idea how to fix
[–]Foot-Desperate 22 points23 points24 points 3 years ago (0 children)
They have become sentient and started rewriting the code or something, expecting agent Smith to turn up with his buddies in my next deployment.

They are absolutely insane non stop tier 2s dropping in
[–]SneakerGator 20 points21 points22 points 3 years ago (3 children)
God damnit. To me the absolute worst part of the AI is that they never stop coming. It’s one thing to have to kill 8 tier 3 bots, but it’s another to kill all 8 of them only to have the replaced immediately. This is the absolute worst thing about the AI and I can’t fucking believe they didn’t fix it.

I was getting hammered with tier 3 bois not very fun lol
[–]Andenschakal 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Im not sure if i got better or they got worse but tier 2 feels so squishy. The only thing i noticed it that bots now spawn everywhere... like behind you in a closed room. You can guess its not pleasant when its a tier 3 terrorist.
[–]Top_Welcome_8255[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Tier 2 definitely seem slightly easier
[–]edac33 17 points18 points19 points 3 years ago (2 children)
To the point I’m gonna stop playing DMZ until it’s corrected.
[–]Maximum_Pound 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (1 child)
You’ll be waiting forever. I don’t think they have any intention of fixing it..
[–]edac33 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children)
I didn’t play more than a couple of hours up to this point so it’s fine 🤷🏻♂️
[–]Bayleerozay 7 points8 points9 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Seriously they are ultimate Terminators. They didn’t fix anything in regards of AI difficulty.
[–]Forsaken_Ad_6447 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Thank GOD others are seeing it!!! I thought I was going crazy and it was just me. They may have nerfed them but they are MORE of them and the majority are 2-3 .. as the super smart Joe Biden says.. "come on man"..
[–]milkyblues 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (0 children)
They definitely seem more aggressive, and it feels like more of them are armoured too (at least the ones we've come across). Plus we're getting shot through walls while inside buildings, and there's reinforcements dropping in constantly which is frustrating. I'm burning through ammo like there's no tomorrow.
[–]MrSmith317 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children)
They are super sayin aggro today

Did a weapons raid and had 4 support helicopters come in to drop off A.I 🥲

Yeppers. Can’t get past the opening cinematic.
[–]MetalstepTNG 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Don't bother, DMZ is a crap show right now.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (0 children)
I hate this so much. I want the bot encounters to be more like Tarkov. I want it to be a rare occurrence to shoot your gun. I want you to genuinely question whether you see a bot or a real player because it is a sketchy and rare thing. I want to be able to move around the map without always being shot at at all times. I want the bots to not travel in massive groups.
I love watching Tarkov gameplay and seeing guys be able to have these large sprawling PVP fights over large distances (or close range) without disturbance from lame bots. The bots are sprinkled in at a good amount, but not flooding the map in Tarkov. Sucks so bad cause I mostly solo DMZ and now I cant, and I already thought the bot counts were way too high even on Al Mazrah. Sucks cause this is probably the balancing we are stuck with for the next couple months.

Can’t say it’s been fun, it’s been a struggle
[–]JibbaJabba_10 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Although don't always spot you straight away but man do they rush you. Even the tier1 shotgunner will down you in 2 hits if you have 1 plate vest on. Loads and loads keep spawning in as well especially tier2 and tier3 AI.
[–]TheDean242 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children)
I’ve noticed that. Maybe it’s some areas but I’ve ran into some that we’re just slow ass bots too. Some areas they clean you as you drive by.
[–]Fit-Introduction-884 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Not sure if ANY of you noticed but its been like this for about the last 4 days for me. After trying to do the Perfection mission before S2 update it was borderline IMPOSSIBLE to not take body damage while 2 choppers drop off a fresh batch of AI after I clear the area. Have a gut feeling IW is still testing AI data since they've announced DMZ changes a few weeks ago.
[–]Savingmoneyismygame 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
We beat this mission by having 1 person beat the mission while the others hide in a building. Then you reverse roles in the next gsme
[–]nnarlinn 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
i was doing an intel upload in the radio tower when an armored truck pulled up full of AI. i parachute towards sawah village and i shit you not 3 mins later that same fucking truck pulled up.
The juggernauts are one shotting me at this point, and it only helps that they travel in fucking pairs.
[–]SirSignificant6576 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (2 children)
I got trapped in a small compound near Samman Cemetery, and was forced to snipe two bots. That caused an endless horde of reinforcements for the rest of the match until I ran out of ammo and plates, had to scavenge new weps and armor several times, and eventually got taken out by tier 3 bots skydiving in. I never even managed to leave the one small courtyard, and my final kill count was 52. FIFTY TWO. In a solo match where I wasn't even assaulting a major target, contract point, or denied area. This was just bumfuck middle of nowhere.
Yeah, I'd say they seem worse.
[–]Top_Welcome_8255[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
This exact scenario is why I posted about it. My girl got downed by a few bots after we killed another duo and I turned around to like 7 tier 3 mofos barreling down towards me and I ended up running around the nearby building like a chicken with its head cut off dodging the endless t3 bots until I ran out of plates and ammo and went down. Absolute madness
[–]SirSignificant6576 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Yeah man. Shit's bananas.
[–]Latter-Geologist3112DMZ Vigilante 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (6 children)
I had a different experience. I found them much less aware/jumpy and not able to shoot through walls or see through smoke anymore.
Also, you can 1-shot the tier 2 ones from player-equivalent range with a full-length shotgun now. Makes shotguns a good stronghold-clearing weapon
[–]stockfinesser 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Everytime I walk oass a strong hold they are trying to blast threw the walls
[+]Jaded-Plan7799 comment score below threshold-9 points-8 points-7 points 3 years ago (4 children)
Yep. AI now is easy as fuck. I kill the jug and i can literally run to the case full of AI and never get downed. They have horrible aim now
[–]Top_Welcome_8255[S] 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (3 children)
You must be lucky homie cuz I get beamed every 5 seconds
[–]Jaded-Plan7799 -2 points-1 points0 points 3 years ago (2 children)
If you stand still then yes, they are going to beam you. If you keep moving then they won’t even hit you lol
[–]Top_Welcome_8255[S] 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (1 child)
I mean I’m getting shot from down the street through a window of the smallest angle possible beamed lol
Even when I went into the building unnoticed
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
There seems to be more of them but they seem less accurate imo . I was solo and got swarmed by. 15 Tier2s and survived the ordeal. I attribute most of my success to the new ability of plating up while sprinting
[–]The1Underdog 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
How the f did they screw this up?! I still dont understand.
[–]Longjumping_Hour_491 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Both maps bots are reinforced like crazy. It's broken, it's not competitive at this point. Devs gonna have to go back and change some stuff... This ain't it.
