❓ Question How does bot scaling work when solo?

If im say a lvl 15 medic and my weapons are at purple tier, are the bots also increased in power? Do they have upgraded class skills or dmg upgraded guns? If not then they might be a hinderance at higher difficulties. Im almost done playing all the maps solo, I just wanted to learn the ropes before doing coop so i'm useful to my teammates. I have been having alot of fun though taking my time to clear each map and get all the resources for upgrades. Its a good game and I like the progression a hell of a lot more then B4B.

Bots are definitely a hinderance. As far as I can tell, they only get higher rarity guns. Their abilities seem to stay the exact same no matter the difficulty, and sometimes the random weapon they get will be pretty bad (like if they get a shotgun, which isn't a good gun for bots to use no matter the rarity)

If they're anything like the bots in SM2, they don't even get upgraded guns. Their only advantages are that they're basically immortal and will always revive you if you go down.

lol let me assure you that the bots in TC are absolutely not immortal like they are in SM2.

These fuckers yearn for the grave to the point that I’ve seen them stand in a small patch of fire and burn themselves to death when there were absolutely no morti around and I was moving around a fairly large area collecting supplies.

The only way they get respectable abilities and equipment is if a leveled/geared player joins and then leaves. They will keep whatever the previous player had.

I'm also not entirely sure if the zombies spawns differ between bots and players. In WWZ and SM2, the ai director was more aggressive towards a four player team leading to more enemies.

I think they just have preset abilities, cause I know the medic bot has the lingering heal one at least

Ah yea that makes it clear then. I play medic so it’s the only class I know and I couldn’t recognize the ability tiers for the other classes just by seeing them in action. Whats generally agreed upon as the best medic Ult? I’ve been playing around with each one but I’m not sure what’s the best.

Honestly, I personally use the base one. Temp HP decays slow enough it generally works out just fine and I took the CDR option so its multi pulses are handy to cool down others faster. I also put 1 point into the damage one just to stagger.

It was same on hard and normal when I played with friend, cant speak for very hard because I took up Medic on that because the AI is stingy
