BetterSpawnsPlus
What is this?
This is an extension of a mod BetterSpawnsPlus by PreyToLive, which aims to improve bot spawns across all maps. While I love BSP, I found that many of its default spawns lack early PMC spawns, as well as general activity early in the raid.
So, I decided to create my own custom spawns with the goal of an actual "live" feel of a raid given certain circumstances:
- more PMC spawns in the first half of a raid
- more SCAV spawns in the middle to second of a raid
- more total spawns near POI (such as Dorms in Customs, Resort at Shoreline, etc.)
Overall, you WILL see significantly more PMCs in your raids and more frequent spawns in general, especially early on.
Bosses note: this mod does NOT change any boss spawns on its own, only PMC and SCAV spawns!
How Does it Work?
What I've done is manually change many of the default spawns, added some and removed some here and there. Most of the changes are spawn timings, but some changes include probabilities for bot groups, additional spawns (i.e. Raiders in Reserve, Labs) and generally moved PMC/SCAV spawns around to aim for something that felt more like live.

FAQ
There are so many PMCs in my raids, I never see any SCAVs!This is likely because:
- my spawns need more tweaking
- PMCs are killing SCAVs before you get to them
If a map is a bit overtuned (too many PMCs) feel free to use BSP's defaults in the meantime and please give me some feedback for improvements!
Can I change the in-game AI amount? Does it do anything?
I've tested this myself - it doesn't seem to have any effect on BSP spawns.
I like long raids (60 min+), will these spawns work for me?
Short answer - no. I've designed all of my configurations around 60 min. raid timers, max. (except for Factory and Labs, which are 45 min. each).Long answer - try adding your own spawns and test it out! otherwise, if there is enough demand I may consider creating a separate set of configs for longer raids.
Please note that all spawn configs are considered a WORK IN PROGRESS
