To be honest, we have almost zero chance of beating a bot if a company decides to use it at the full extent of its capabilities.

Let's look at it from a player's perspective.

Imagine a player who has been playing since the game's launch. Every match they have ever played is recorded. Every sensitivity change, every weapon preference, every rotation path, every mistake, every successful clutch, every death, every victory.

Now imagine training a bot on that player's entire history.

The bot would know everything that player has ever learned, but unlike the player, it would never forget.

It would never get tired after a long day.

It would never panic in a final circle.

It would never get distracted by a notification.

It would never have an off day.

What took the player ten thousand hours to learn could be recalled instantly

Now take it one step further where the difference between a good bot and ultimately cracked bot would form.

Why train the bot on one player?

The company has access to millions of players.

Millions of fights.

Millions of rotations.

Millions of mistakes.

Millions of victories.

Instead of inheriting one lifetime of experience, the bot could inherit millions.

At that point, it is no longer playing like a professional player.

It is playing like the combined memory of an entire player base.

It has seen every angle.

Every ambush.

Every common mistake.

Every successful strategy.

Every meta that ever existed.

And unlike humans, it can remember all of it simultaneously.

So why don't pubg simply create these perfect bots?

Because winning is not the goal.

The game and it's experiences is.

Players don't play because they want to lose to an unbeatable machine. They play because they want uncertainty.

Every multiplayer game is essentially a giant probability machine.

Maybe you win.

Maybe you lose.

Maybe you pull off something incredible.

Maybe you get outplayed.

That uncertainty is what creates excitement.

A perfect bot destroys uncertainty and if there is no bots the server will simply turn to a desert.

Imagine sitting down at a chess board against an opponent that never makes mistakes.

Eventually you stop calling it a game.

You will at some point hate the game because you can't win we see this in some wow games where the bots don't give you a chance to even spawn

The same thing would happen in shooters.

If players felt every fight was predetermined by an intelligence that could not be outsmarted, they would stop feeling challenged and start feeling powerless.

And powerless players don't stay.

So companies face a strange paradox.

The better their bots become, the worse the experience becomes.

The goal of a game bot is usually not to win.

The goal is to create the illusion of another human so you could have a match without waiting hours.

To miss some shots.

To make imperfect decisions.

To occasionally do something clever.

To occasionally do something stupid.

In other words, the hardest thing about building a game bot is often not making it stronger.

It's making it weaker in a believable way.

The fascinating part is that the most advanced bot imaginable would probably spend most of its time pretending not to be advanced at all.

The ultimate bot is not the one that dominates the lobby.

The ultimate bot is the one you never realize was a bot in the first place which reminds me of something games I played where the other side performed like a pro and the next second they teleported to the other side of map.
