With this week's patch, bots will now automatically populate servers. They will attempt to keep matches balanced in terms of player count and will fight against and along side each other and real players! We will be continuing to update the AI including adding the ability for bots to participate in objective based game types. We are happy to bring a new weapon to light with this update - the Light Flamer! Enjoy this toasty new patch - on us.
Finally, we have some exciting new material coming in our next patch. Check out the “Guess who?” image below. Do you know which Gear it is? Let us know.
