Or when you are hiding in like a bush or something to heal or sneak attack an actual player, those bots seem to materialize out of nowhere and attack you, which gives away your location
Haha yup, I can't stand that.
Always have aimbot on opponents side for some reason
Pretty much. Every time I try to flee it's like they can't miss. But if they're face to face, their aim drops considerably it seems.
Apparently if you move fast they turn on aimbot, ninja or whichever the blue haired famous dude was experienced this before
Ah that would explain why they can somehow light you up no matter the distance sometimes. That makes more sense now.
Idk about you but these bots beamed the shit out of me when I had the nitro medal and moving like a maniac
Their aim assist increases greatly the faster you are moving. There were a few posts showing this recently, including Ninja getting lasered by one, and another bot sniping some kid who was mid-air flying with his guitar.
Ninja got lasered by an NPC
Yeah, and now that I think about it, the guitar kid did too. I was lumping bots and NPCs together, but maybe the post I replied to did as well.
A few days back I was in duos in ZB with my brother and some random bot one-shotted the shit outta me with a sniper just moments after I picked up scarr's medallion (I was full health and shield) (it was 100% a bot)
You'd be surprised, a lot of people on this sub are shocked when it is explained how many bots exist/what to look for.
They exist as layups.
I was definitely taken for a loop, I was playing with my cousin yesterday and he explained to me how a good 20 something teams in duos are bots
The only thing missing is the bot popping a nitro.
Bro they always default to popping a nitro in front of your face 💀
That’s become my go-to sign of a bot
Bots only belong in introductory games, mobile and switch lobbies. If you're on PC, PS5 or Xbox Series S/X and you're higher than account level 50, you should not imo have bots in the lobby. Half the popularity of ranked is that games felt good to win again, since you weren't 5th zone with 1 other player left who turned out to be a bot that then died in storm.
I don't think anyone will agree with me but, i believe bots should be deleted from the game, it's so annoying hearing gunfire thinking theres people just to see two bots shooting at the air, it's just boring af.
Exactly
Bots should only exist as a way to funnel anything but the lowest skill bracket up to regular lobbies. The issue is that since they were implemented, I've seen them even in high skill lobbies (for example, I'm unreal with a 5 KD in unranked lobbies, and still see at least a bot a game).
If they were only there to keep very new players or very young players entertained I'd see no issue with it, but they definitely shouldn't be there in high MMR lobbies. At this point it comes off as kind off desperate to pad out matchmaking with bots
What even are high mmr lobbies, I have a 25% win rate in trios playing with a 5 year old and I swear we wipe at leat 3 bot squads a game, seems like there are way too many.
Well in a game with functioning SBMM, a high MMR lobby should be compromised of the players with much higher win rates than average. As I said, I WISH fortnite would exclude bots at that level but they clearly don't. I agree that there's way too many bots even in what should be the highest skill bracket.
Like I said, bots should really only be there at the lowest skill level until a player is capable of winning, then they should be thrown in with the rest of the average skill level
The problem is that Fortnite doesnt even have SBMM, you can get matched against people with a kd of 1000 or get 80 bots and a few real players, it's inconsistent, the same goes for ranked, i usually reach elite and my lobbies are full of either people in bronze, diamond or unreal.
Ive hated bots ever since they were introduced. I actually used to ignore them as I didn’t want “ruining” my kill count since I viewed them as fake.
Nowadays they are simply an annoyance or grief my games.
skill based match making
I said it once and will say it again, bots have no place in Battle Royale.
Thats my gfs accounts username…
I swear to God I’ve seen “M0arMinutes” as a bot before this, if that is your GF’s account I’m so sorry bro
It was probably a 6 year old. That’s how my son looked when he played just starting.
What’s your sensitivity settings?
I’m on an Xbox controller lol but my sensitivity is 7 for look and 5 for aim
Honestly the fact that they aren’t obvious is my problem with them. Its so demoralizing to not know whether I won that battle against an actual player if it was too fast to notice behavior. At first I thought that if the “you are being viewed” indicator shows up that means they couldn’t have been a bot, but they still put it up for no reason except to trick you even more. I kind of wish they gave them a standard name or some kind of indicator that they’re bots instead of trying to give players, especially new ones like I was when I found out, false confidence or hope that just ends up crushing them when they learned it was rigged in their favor.
As a casual gamer, it’s my least favorite thing in online games that happens so often, and they always try to hide it and it makes me confused and feel like I’m not getting better at the game. Especially if its a system where if you lose you get put in bot lobbies, because if I screw up and suck I want a chance to try again at the same difficulty instead of being babied so I never actually learn how to play right or what to improve. I don’t care if it’s more fun to be put in easy games, I got this game, I like this game, and I want to improve at this game.
Modern gaming in a nutshell today
Why are you being down voted. Your right!
My bumbass was a little confused seeing your wings (I thought that was an item from previous season) and then a nitrobomb from ammo box
Lol it was the wing glider from Chapter 3 Season 3, that action figure skin
better idea. remove them!
Is there a way to know how many bots vs real players you take out?
I've heard you can upload your replay to certain places and it'll tell you. Alternatively, you can search based on their names to find out. But honestly, it's all too much work to be bothered.
I would prefer no bots, sure, but I'm not really bothered by them. Usually early game you get bots and late game you get humans.
If you truly want only human interaction, just drop at the hottest spot on the map, then head to a boss, or chase medallion holders. If you survive all that, you'll be at the end game and probably won't have crossed a single bot during that experience.
I will say, I'm disappointed that there are bots in reloaded. It's fun, but it was way more fun day one than it was last night. Ran into bots, I dropped at tilted and no one was there... Like what the hell? Of course the storm pulled everything together and the end is still hard, but that first couple days was magical. Constant fighting until you either push everyone to run for survival or you're running yourself.
that's why nobody plays pubs anymore
At least I hope that’s a bot
Naw what Epic needs to do is get them out of the game already
They should use the guy in the clips movement, and bots would be fine imo.
Bots always seem dumb until you run away from them and they somehow can't miss you.
