Darktide desperately needs better bot AI

I’m not asking for super OP bots that carry the game, but we do need bots that are effective.

A good example is being trapped in a net, bots will not try to get you out if there is even one trash enemy around. They prioritize killing the weak enemy rather than getting you out. Which is extremely dangerous if you’re doing a damnation run solo and waiting for people to join. It only takes 2 seconds to untrap a person from a net as well…

They also like to run out of cover and get absolutely destroyed by gunners and they can’t hold their own during horde fights. Essentially bots really need better awareness of the enemies on the field, and how to respond to them. They should always prioritize rescuing downed players when possible.

It would also be great if we could customize our own bots, where they use our own built characters like in V2 so we don’t get level 1 bots with no perks or skills and who get absolutely destroyed… In short be great to build a squad of your own characters with an AI that supports you in a game rather than just being the cannon fodder that they are.

calling them ai in the first place is an insult to 2004 games
