Yep, bots not handling specials properly, chasing after specials with melee weapons, and not using ranged weapons on them have long been an issue since 2018. Related prior feedback posts:

Sometimes a run will go entirely down the toilet if you don’t murder a certain special as soon as you see him. For some reason or another bots love to chase gunners, gasrats, and flame scaven.

You can turn around and suddenly realize you’re completely alone with your bots a mile away dealing with some special that isn’t a threat.

…My bots will constantly run through them to get to me or to get to other enemies. I literally just played Convention Of Decay (Champion with all bots) where they kept running through the gas hurting themselves to where I have to use up most the healing when gas rats spawn. Also since bots will usually only shoot specials/elites if they are close since they make you try to kill everything, it can be extremely difficult to get the gas rat/specials when I’m in the middle of combat with a horde, boss or elites and would die myself if I don’t take care of what is in melee combat with me.

Please, please, please, Fatshark; I know you won’t listen to me, but it allows bots to kill specials with their ranged weapons (not just mele or F-abilities). It is annoying to play hard and in a moment a special catches you and you automatically lose the game because the bots do not shoot this special, just try to get to him to kill in mele, and you die in the process, like the bots.
It’s your fault, I don’t know if it’s in the program’s code, but bots can’t kill these specials in range (F abilities don’t count)
