Bot Royale mode is a joke.
I was kind of excited to see what I thought was a full BR practice mode to unwind/warm up in when I'm not doing well in standard/competitive. Instead I get a buggy mess of a partial battle royale on ...

No doubt anything would be an improvement, but user selected difficulty is pretty critical, I would say.
For anyone who ever played Halo Reach firefight mode and remembers the insane degree of customization that was available... that was the gold standard in my humble opinion. And it was set fourteen years ago now. And come to think of it, those AI were pretty damn good. And still are. I still play it. Of course, they were a lot less complex than an Apex legend (no abilities, pings, etc.), but still. Fourteen years, Respawn. And Halo Infinite bots are also pretty good, but oddly not much of an improvement over Reach. Go figure.

I am actually enjoying the bot royale mode. It needs alot of work for sure, and definitely higher difficulty settings. But the humor aspect of it is fun. I have burst out laughing so many times playing it.... Can't remember doing that in the BR mode.
The bots just do the funniest and stupidest * that its really entertaining. Like Recon, It took a few matches to realize my bot teammates were actually bots. The names they are given fooled me and them replying to all my pings had me confused. Once I saw how dumb they really are, I finally realized lol.
Still its just dumb and silly fun, with I feel in this game is needed from time to time. If they fix it up abit and made it tougher - dam no toxic behavior, no * MM, no cheaters - I would play this over all the other modes.
Also Im having fun trying out legends I have never tried before and weapons I don't normally use. I find, trying to play test legends and weapons in BR mode sucks. I always revert to my main, and weapons I know I'm good with.
Trial and error while getting stomped blows. So I'm enjoying that aspect of bot royale as well.
I laugh a lot at normal BR. Bot BR makes me cry. It is so unrealistic, it is boring. But for beginners wanting to learn BR mechanics and flow in general it serves its purpose well.
I like the idea of having BOT 1, BOT 2, etc. You may as well reserve BOT xxx for bots I suppose. Also, the fact that I couldn't yield jump master told me they were bots.
- @MrGreenWithAGun I'm used to randoms giving me jump master, so I didn't think about giving it to someone else or to look who gave it up.
Hey all!
It’s been a while since i was last on the forums, good to see some old and some new faces 🙂
I think a good bot royal experience would be merging it with the firing range experience (to be clear, i mean the game settings, not literally merging the modes) I think adjusting bot difficulty like you can in the firing range would be great, as previously stated. There is also room for the more fun settings, and data settings, like 3rd person mode, dynamic stats, hit markers, dynamic timer, legend upgrade reset, friendly fire (a pre match setting that if you are in a lobby with friends, this would just put you on different teams) also making all the legends playable in bot royale would be good (i don’t think this is already a thing, but i have all the legends, so i don’t know)
Also, as it is a training mode primarily, it would be nice to have the legend your playing explain their abilities and perks to you if you turn it on in the game settings.
