Bot Royale AI Broken After Jan 19 Update - Won't Fight or Follow

I've been experiencing significant AI behavior issues in Bot Royale mode since the January 19th update. Here are the problems I've encountered:

Bot Behavior Issues:

  1. Teammate bots randomly wander away from me and scatter in different directions instead of staying together as a squad
  2. When bots encounter enemies, they often stand motionless without shooting or simply move to a different location instead of engaging in combat
  3. Enemy bots exhibit the same behavior - they spot me but don't shoot, just stand still or remain crouched without taking action
  4. When I'm downed and there are teammate bots nearby, they refuse to revive me
  5. Bots don't follow my ping markers or respond to any commands
  6. Changing the Bot Royale difficulty settings has no effect on bot behavior whatsoever


This started happening immediately after the January 19th update and has been consistent across all my Bot Royale matches since then.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? The bots seem completely broken and make the mode unplayable. Any acknowledgment from the dev team would be appreciated.

    I've noticed this exact same behavior in the past 2-3 weeks. Upon landing bots immediately sprint away from me, often without even picking up weapons. Bots ignore commands, and refuse to revive. I use Bot Royale as a way to practice with new weapons, but it's become almost unplayable because the bots are never anywhere near me so every fight is a 1v3. I can't imagine how it would feel for a new player getting dropped in and having to fight 1v3s all the time.
