Definitely in the game. I usually get 0-3 kills I'd say. Had two games today with 19 kills. Won probably 10 of the last 12 games I've played. Playing squads but none of the other players working together, shoot at you and stand dead still, go prone to heal in the open when you are still shooting at them.

And the clincher; every name is something_something. Underscores in every name. I'd say 80-90% of the lobby are bots. And bad ones at that.

Not sure of the reasoning. I never struggled to join a game. Not TPP at least.

Completely taken away the "peril" feeling. Quite fun to get a load of kills for once but soon wears off!

Maybe if you are a low ranked low skill player.

I am a genuine 250 adr player and haven't had any bots in the game yet.

Oh I see. Ouch! I must be in the PUBG equivalent of the remedial class!

Still, the way my K/D is going I’ll be back with the humans soon!

Nope, they are everywhere.

They seem to be filling lobbies irrespective of skill level.m, the people I play with are all 500 level and 3+ is this season, one lad is 12.5 LS and still bots.

I still really don't think that Bots are in Public games yet. The devs specifically say "coming in a future update" and I've not encountered any (granted, I only play Duo/Squads).

I can check the player accounts , if you give me your Pubg username I can find the people you have played with if you don't mind (Mine is PepegaPig just to show I'm not going to be weird!)

This definitely suggests they are live:

I had a go last night and certainly experienced some players with questionable... Skills

Either I’ve got a lot better or the bots are live!

Bot's are live in console I thought - but not PC yet. Are you playing console? PUBG did a did reddit post defending it. Will be coming to PC soon.

6 different match types across 5 different maps. It's no wonder they can't fill all the lobbies with players.

Not in a fair while but it's surprisingly good on mobile!

Again not in a while, though I found it was better on a tablet just to make things easier to see!

I've mostly just been playing Arcade and Karakin on normal, as the ranked matches appear to be squad only. Played 4 games on Vikendi the other night; 1,1,2,1. Then I looked at the match reviews - only ~10 players per match! 90 bots per game....They give you a long distance warning shot, then another couple of bursts before they hit you. I can't imagine how you would ever get killed by one. They also don't go in building or loot supply crates.

Oooh where do you see the breakdown of number of bots vs real people in a game?


We played three games the other night in a squad of three. Two chickens and a 5th.

Game is ruined.

Dragging an old thread kicking and screaming into 2020!

This was free on PlayStation plus recently and after playing it on mobile last year I thought I would give it a go.

Is anyone on here playing it? It allows cross platform playing

We (a mate and I) stopped playing this a few months ago when bots became common. Like someone above said, it ruined the game. Now we play COD Warzone which is more polished and has no bots. (PC)
