no, but seriously, why aren't AI survivors in yet??

They're there on the mobile version, and I don't care how bad they are they'd still be a marked improvement over losing teammates to DC, or waiting 10 minutes to start a match.

    As someone who heavily plays DbD mobile as well: trust me, you wouldn't want them as a fellow survivor. I am fairly certain it removes any perks the player had, and on top of that they fail skill checks regularly. The more fair compromise would have been they don't get skill checks at all; but no, they must have just put RNG on if they succeed skill checks or not. I would rather not have my gen regressing over and over and the killer knowing where I am thanks to a stupid ass bot on a gen with me. Furthermore, I've watched as they aimlessly wander the map not doing gens, not healing other survivors, seemingly as confused as a rank 20 human survivor. They would rather let you go to second stage on the hook if the killer is near than attempt a hook trade. The list goes on.

    Sometimes they run the killer for a while, sometimes not.

    So it's pretty similar to playing solo then.


    Jokes aside, the game needs bots. The constant DCs are sucking the fun out of the game, and bots would solve 99% of the problems. The devs can bring back the DC penalty all they want, and it'll just change how players leave games - instead of disconnecting, survivors will throw themselves at the killer and suicide on the first hook, and killers will give up and sit in a corner.

    Timing them out will not stop them from quitting. Replacing them with bots if they disconnect will at least give the remaining players an actual match, even if the skill level of the bot is lower than the player it replaced.

    Should be easy to implement for Deathslinger. He already treats the players he faces like AI.
