Bot Royale Evolved

Problem solved.
Installed Farlight 84, there's a Bot Training mode, full BR, only bots and account progression.
It's an Apex clone, with around 1k players. Funny, people there are complaining about too much bots. They should come to Apex then. Less players there, more bots there.

As a casual player, the recent changes to this mode feel like a step backward for accessibility. I’m finding that the gameplay loop has shifted to mirror Trios: I spend a few minutes in a match, get overwhelmed by high-skill players, and then spend the rest of the time spectating or waiting for another game.

The previous "Bot Mode" served as a vital onboarding tool and a low-stress environment to play with friends or just bots. By removing that "safety net" in favor of the current "evolved" mode, the barrier to entry has become incredibly high. If the goal was to make the game more engaging, it’s actually had the opposite effect for those of us who aren't pros—it's just less appealing to play.

A very compelling argument in favor of the no fill / bot teammates / live teammates option this game mode should have.
"overwhelmed by high-skill players"
On this point I'll hand out some advice based on what I've been seeing my own teammates doing. From what I'm observing it all boils down to one very simple concept: distance from the enemy. The closer you are, the closer you try to get, the more likely you are to get rinsed. Try to maintain a healthy distance. Try to get on top of a building for a better view with more range. Always carry a mid-range weapon. It's good advice for normal pvp gameplay, but in bots it's guaranteed success. It's almost a little too predictable and formulaic, but who am I to argue with what works?
