We all suspected that there are bots in some lobbies, there are

@PsyhiX69  lol so true. Sometimes when I play solo, I'll wait till the end in the dropship, to see if these bots are present. They used to fall outside of the map, but now they just fall onto the map. They're easy to recognize, because they don't dive.

Well there are some users who use bot scripts to level up accounts for XP, though, to me it seems unlikely in this case since they're all in a separate squad.

Though on the other hand it could be explained that it is due to them all being lifeline.

If they were to actually implement bots to boost their stats then they could've at least selected from a group with more diversity.

@PsyhiX69cool, free level 3 Evo right off the bat for you...

I also found bots in the game. 🙂

Hi, we removed the videos as they contain playernames and that triggers our rules around naming and shaming. 

While it is likely of course that these are bad actors, we still ask people to obfuscate names. And if you are able to, it's worth reporting these users for suspicious behavior. 
I don't mean the odd AFKers caught unawares because their doorbell rang, but something like this seems much more suspicious. 

@W3stminst3r Your video also seems to come to a misleading conclusion. The "bots" in this case appear to me to be people running scripted behaviors to leech XP over time, as opposed to studio-implemented bots. 
Apex Mobile has bots, and folks will be able to see studio-created bots in the HD game when the Orientation mode rolls out very soon, but currently in the game matches don't contain bots created by Respawn
