PUBG console players complain about introduction of bots in multiplayer rounds – Gaming – News

Players of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 complain a lot about the recent introduction of bots in multiplayer rounds. The bots would be dull to play against and sometimes teeming with them.

On Reddit there are numerous fairly recent topics in which players complain about the bots. For example, there is a player who states that there are more than seventy bots in lobbies that can accommodate up to a hundred players. The player complains that he hardly encounters real players, partly because the bots are not present on the playing field from the first minute. He describes that they only spawn near players after about five minutes and that they are not a challenge either, because they walk in straight lines or come to a complete stop. According to players, the bots can be recognized by their generic names and the addition of the underscore sign.

Another player acknowledges on Resetera’s forum that the bots are “terrible”, including him touches on that you cannot escape it. Bots are only intended for the casual rounds, where rankings are not an issue. In ranked bots do not occur. However, the player states that developer PUBG Corp. has decided to introduce the bots before the ranked option is available. He also doesn’t understand why bots are actually needed. According to him, the game is still popular enough to fill lobbies with a hundred players of flesh and blood.

The introduction of bots was a fact with the recent one update 7.1 for the consoles. In it, the developer explains that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds can be brutal and quite a few players appreciate that, but PUBG Corp. states that there are also many players who quickly lose their lives without being able to harm anyone. “To help these players master the unique PUBG mechanisms and features, we are introducing bots,” the developer wrote. The ratio of bots and human players is, according to PUBG Corp. dynamic. This would automatically adapt to the skills of players and the size of the group of players in each region.
