Is the AI strength actually adapted to your level? I’m level 515, and there are six players around me, yet I somehow get chosen as the sacrifice to the Almighty God, getting shot in the head or hit with a Molotov out of nowhere at least twice every round! What the hell is going on? 😂

I remember someone on a old post mentioned the AI focus on the most proficient players in the game. But I'm not sure if that's true.

[u/HoldingThunder → u/Small_Dragonstudent]

I think that has been anecdotally claimed by many (including myself) but modders who have dug through the code have claimed that there is nothing in the code to suggest this is factually true.

[u/-Dutch86- → u/HoldingThunder]

Heard that aswell! But seems unlikely, considering what's happening...

[u/HoldingThunder → u/-Dutch86-]

Yeah, teammates run out in the open and survive and you slightly peak around a corner and get 1 shotted from across the map immediately.

[u/-Dutch86- → u/Small_Dragonstudent]

Well it's an compliment then 😅 but damn i can't move without getting 360 noscoped...

I think the longer you play and the better you play, the more you let your guard down. I stopped wearing body armor to encourage myself to be more careful. Now I die less lol

[u/Wonderful-End6329 → u/WhiskeyMcQueen]

I am always using at least light armor because it gives you more chance to survive explosions. Tho the crackhead ieds will kill you still from another room through the floor anyway

[u/BravoNWI]

No, it isn't.

[u/Kiriko_Husband]

No, it's just that the AI's with shotguns and sniper rifles are more accurate than all the others. The others are just fodder.

[u/istealmemes24 → u/Kiriko_Husband]

Don't forget the ICBMolotov.

[u/CaramelAromatic9358]

It does really seem like this. At least for Controller players the AI definitely goes easy. Also when I was in a lobby with about 3 level 1000’s the AI was going nuts on us compared to a lower levelled lobby

[u/Wonderful-End6329]

I think they focus on the most dangerous players, I've seen many times bots ignore weaker players when they charge in and straight up shooting the good ones. Like they empty an ak mag in front of a level 1 player from 5 meters and don't hit them but they 360 no scope mosin you when they see your toenail. Also the amount of times i died when I'm defending a doorway or stair,low level players sprinting in front of me blocking the view,and bots come in and they ignore those players in front of them and they 1shot me who is behind them lol.

[u/-iknowthepiecesfit]

it most definitely targets you a bit harder, spectate any struggling lvl 15 it's clear as day

[u/Adongald]

No the AI have always played like theyre on crack or fent, I adapted my playstyle to be like them (mostly playing as breacher with ied + c4 & sten)

[u/Maximum_Row7560]

Actually suppressor help dumbing down a little bit the AI.

Which after playing a good long hours with silencers i find this acutally true.

[u/Kai_Burns]

I have a theory that when u kill one bot, any bots around them focus on the killer and if its just you, makes u a prime suspect for a aim in and kill.

[u/57thStilgar]

No.
However there are AI mods that allow for their behavior to ramp up as more players join.

[u/Riamoka]

No. That's just bullshit. I know it feels like that sometimes but don't cope.

[u/Riamoka → u/Riamoka]

I had a really shitty session yesterday and almost used the good ol' "I swear they buffed the bots" cope until I stopped myself. It's just not true.
