I’d rather not have bots at all but the game forces them on me when we’re missing a player. Bots are more of a liability and if we could just kill them with friendly fire I’d be glad. Or an in-game option to turn them off entirely.

Having 1 bot isn’t that bad because you still (hopefully) have 2 reliable human teammates and the bot provides the unupgraded version of survivalist, which stacks with a veteran’s upgraded survivalist aura, thus you effectively have double survivalist, as such it allows the 3 remaining players to be much more liberal with their ammo usage.
They also tend to make for good decoys, except when they trigger a burster and don’t push it (like in your clip), just walking back thus making it jump into the group lol, so I get where you’re getting the sentiment from.
The part I hate about them the most is that they will eat medicae charges and if they go low again they’ll even double dip.

I’m surprised they didn’t just do the VT2 treatment, where you can make your bots essentially
Why can’t we make our other characters be bots? There’s even a mod for that in solo play

actually, being able to set the number of bots (incl. zero) is such a simple option. better than murdering them. or have your other characters as bots. and a room on the mourningstar where you meet them. are these immeasurably complex additions?

I strongly remember seeing that fixed in a patch note quite a while ago, though I could be wrong.
Nah it’s still a thing.
Player joins, then leaves.
Bot spawns.
Player 2 kills bot then leaves.
This literally only helps griefing and gets in the way of actually playing the game when you try and hit a spawned wave and hit the bot instead. Not a very good idea.
Making your own bots and improving the bots though, that isn’t bad. One of the best bot mods for VT2 was the one that made them actually block and stay alive. They couldn’t do much damage at all, but at least they helped out.
I wish we got the payday 2 treatment where bots were actually entirely separate entities with their own stats and gear set by host, maybe wouldn’t want them as crazy strong as they ended up being in payday but it would be nice to be able to solo without being ultra locked in
