[Bug] Bot AI Not Prioritizing Player

24 votes

I got downed by a cloaker and three bots just stood and watched me get beat to death. All three bots died and went to custody, one even came back from custody, before I went to custody from a cloaker sitting on me. Bear in mind all three bots were sitting next to me in an open area. They prioritized each other going down before ever pathing to me.

I agree, the BOT's AI is dumb and needs a rework. BOTs are currently a burden in PD3 Beta.

I had a similar experience where 2 bots stood right next to me and didn't help me while the third bot desperately tried to reach me. Unfortunately, he was the one who was furthest away from me. In my case, I think that the third bot triggered a kind of status that I already receive help, which caused the other two bots to do nothing. I would like to suggest that this status only gets updated if the downed player is actually receiving help or that the bot that is closest to the fallen player always receives the resurrection order. (Picture: I waited the entire downed time to see whether chains or wolf would help me after all.)
