Bots in custom matches

So a random thought I had. Wouldn't it be cool to have the option to have bots in custom matches?

That way you can play killer in a 2 person SWF and have other survivors to go after and play an actual match.

  • Yes it would and I hope they are seriously considering it.

  • For reference DbD Mobile allows you to do exactly that and it works pretty well, at least as far as a way to practice the game or explore maps and so on. ๐Ÿ™‚ The bot survivors themselves aren't as good as human players but they do gens and run away from the killer and vault at loops and try and stun you with pallets and all that fun stuff. So especially on mobile where the controls are harder for killers to use than PC or console it's nice having bots to play against to try and get a handle on things. Also if a player disconnects from a match on Mobile a bot automatically replaces them so the game isn't totally shorthanded.

    Unfortunately the DbD Mobile game was built from the bottom up by a different dev team than the main game on PC and console so Behaviour has already said they didn't have any immediate plans to bring a similar bot system over. They did at least create a bot tutorial mode on PC where you can play as Trapper against four survivors on a specific map, but they haven't expanded that mode to something where you can just do a custom match on a random map against AI opponents, and they haven't set anything up where bots take the place of disconnected humans. Maybe they'll do it some day, but it won't be any time soon. ๐Ÿ™
