The DBD code is the most bizarre thing to me: Somehow, they can take months to fix a simple collision issue which may also break the animation of a killer and also require a killswitch to a perk And At the same time, implement bots that can interact with a plethora of game mechanics, environments, and perk combinations better than a sizeable portion of the playerbase

I can win against bots with good builds with no killer power or perks. I'm a pretty mediocre killer honestly, I just have a 'talent' for spotting AI patterns/weaknesses. Only the most terrible of spawns + extremely good gen speed builds do I have trouble.

We've taught them well

I believe bots drop their items when they're depleted in the eventual situation where another survivor may have Built to Last and this allows other survivors to pick it up and replenish the charges, it's actually well thought behaviour. Because otherwise they wouldn't understand to drop an item from another survivor's hand signals.

It would also help for "stealth reasons" seeing as a bot has no use or sentimental value for a bright red obvious medkit, what are they gonna do- save the item for the next match?

I think the reason why the bots “microwave” is because they have an actual camera, otherwise abilities and perks just wouldn’t work (stealth killers as a whole, Ghostface, etc), so BHVR needed a way for them to look around without having 360 degree vision, but also not staring at a wall, thus: microwave.

lmfao you can see its programming its just >if(survivor_on_hook = true) - go save. soon as the survivor got downed it went to go pick'em up too. but soon as it got picked up bots like nope.

My favorite parts about all of this: 1. Pretty much no one would argue with you about DCing against a Chess Merchant. 2. It’s nearly universally agreed upon that nobody wants to go against any Chess Merchant, ever. 3. Pretty much every Chess Merchant is toxic by default, and by extension, deserves every amount of BM they get. 4. DCing against a Chess Merchant doesn’t come with any effective punishment because they’re not common enough to rack up harsher DC penalties, and because bots will pretty much outplay any Chess Merchant player, therefore staying to watch them do that is more fun than any actual match against one. This is one of the most based videos I’ve seen Scott make, all thanks to a goated bot.

Bots do cheat though. They can see through walls and know where you are even with undetectable/oblivious. Try scratched mirror Myers or Legion with the addons that give you sight on people mending and makes them oblivious. You can visibly see them react to you. I was going to do a guide on how to take advantage of bots and easily beat them without power/perks but do I really want to help dull merchant players? Don't call her chess merchant. Chess has rules to prevent drawn out games, Dull Merchant does not.

This was genuinely entertaining to watch. Please post more chess merchant trying to checkmate the bots

the camera rotations that the bots do when doing an action is probably to simulate some sort of searching and looking, like we do when doing gens.

Bots spin when repairing/healing to catch potential ghostfaces stalking them

I can't believe I turned off stream right before this match. This is absolutely hilarious.

I had a survivor DC when playing ghost face, and bots are gods at revealing you out of your power. It felt like I was playing the ghostface ptb again where you would get revealed from a single toe being visible.

I think that towards the end, the Cage bot neglected the gen when the Dwight was downed to try to pickup the slug, then ran back when he got picked up.

all they have to do to skull merchant is make it to where crouching in the drone area makes them non detectable, like hag traps. or some mechanic with camouflage or something

This was unironically one of the most entertaining matches of DBD I’ve seen and I have no idea how 😂

I've decided not to keep track of when BHVR will use Pixel Bush's rework for Skull Merchant to not make her a shit killer since I don't have hope it'll happen. A guy can dream at least.

I just watched a Dwight TBag for 2 minutes straight and it was the most satisfying thing I've seen in a while.

This chess merchant wasn’t GM like the bots, stood no chance to them

That crouch tech at the log was insane

They can't dodge nemesis whips for shit either

by the way - 8:47 - chests generate their loot when they open, not when you start looting them or beforehand. it's so that if you 99 a chest and a guy with like, pharmacy walks up and finishes it, they get their medkit.

Was wondering if this would work as a perk idea, i would call it repentance and it would involve getting 4 hook rescues to reverse one hook state, and because you can only do this with the first two hook states that means you only get 2 hook states reversed at max in a game in addition to that it would add an additional 2500 bp for killer and 1000 for survivor for the extra hook state interaction and the hook state reversal interaction giving an incentive to extend the game. I am open to opinions.

8:55 chest loot needs to be generated as you loot it because of perks like plunderes and ace in the hole
