They are always veterans, have no talents, don’t use abilities or grenades and always have bad weapons like devils claw sword and sapper shovel so they can’t actually kill anything and can’t even manage to revive someone if they’re downed most of the time. It’s like they have been intentionally made to be useless.
It’s strange because the bot team mates in Vermintide 2 are at least somewhat useful and use their abilities and whatnot and quickly help players if they are pinned or downed.
This is a problem because when a player leaves during a mission and doesn’t get replaced for whatever reason you’re effectively handicapped with a useless bot until you complete or fail the mission.
the bots in this game are really useless and dumb, in mortis trial they are not just bad but even griefing because they keep on using the medi station when they are almost full health
According to the patch notes, they will “no longer target Poxbursters”.
Apparently this means they’ll just completely ignore them, sometimes (rarely) try and push them, but don’t dodge back afterwards so in both cases they just get blown up. Honestly this one change makes bots feel even stupider than before.
Sadly, if you use mods, and use your own characters as bots, they are pretty decent. Not good, but decent.
I just want my solo game mode. And bots is a problem to solve
Tbh, I always pointed that, just replacing weapons, can give us decent bots.
I would prefer they let us configure our bots in a window, and let ut choose also their weapons and talents.
I also badly want a solo mode in Darktide but it would be pointless with the way the bot team mates are currently. They would need to be improved or it wouldn’t be a fun experience
In Vermintide 2 you could play solo and customise your bots and they are actually pretty decent so I don’t really understand why this isn’t a thing in Darktide especially when people keep asking for it
It leaves me scratching my head. I can understand more specialist stuff like plasma guns not appearing, but they could be walking advertisements for the cash shop cosmetics, have some decent combat abilities and/or damage. They’re never going to be as good as players and sure, you want the players to actually play together so there’s an incentive not to make them too good, but as OP says, some grenades, power weapons they activate (or at least use the parry/riposte on the catachan sword) and hit the target reliably with their guns.
