Bots in MP
I heard there are bots in MP gameplay such as supremacy. My question is, how do you know if a player is a bot or a real person?
@itsok38There are quite some indicators that tell you that someone is a bot.
1. They have default skins.
2. They have no class icon at their name tag and only use default assault class weapons and no gadgets.
3. They have faction specific names, like clones being called e.g. CT-1224, droids RO-746, stormtroopers TK-23445 and rebels have some first and last names like real persons but SW names of course.
4. They have only 50 HP (or was it 75??) so their HP bar looks different than that of a human player.
5. They often just walk and don't run.
6. They essentially never go full auto on you for longer than a few shots (even on close range) and then use a combat roll. So a single bot usually won't inflict any serious damage on you, so no need to worry about them.
7. They have that typical AI behaviour, like never seeking any cover, being oblivious to targets nearby or just standing aimlessly at objectives or at some other places where they don't belong.
Mind though that some of these points are specific to supremacy!
Bots in Co-op mode spawn with all 4 different classes, have full HP like human players and even use gadgets.
Also their firing behaviour feels usually more deadly than of their counterparts in supremacy.
In summary: Don't worry about the bots, you'll learn how to identify them really fast. Bots are cannon fodder in this mode and only serve to enhance the atmosphere of the classic SW battlefields. Also killing them counts for achievements and weapon unlocks.
They're only a major annoyance when playing as tank (big target) and they keep shooting at you from the other side of the map which interrupts your tanks' HP regeneration.
