Live Like Experience - SAIN Preset

PMC's and Bosses should be scary.

Live Like Experience - A SAIN Preset

• Provides manageable Scavs. They aren't usually fearsome warriors, but ignore them long enough and they might get lucky.
• PMC's are a threat. A healthy mix of Chads and Normal players. They will be an issue.
• Bosses and followers exist to be a challenge.
• AI hearing is turned wayyyy down, the goal is to keep them from starring at walls and sitting in cover forever.
• AI has some minor map specific tuning. For example, labs will see must more aggressive play than shoreline.

Overall this preset aims to provide a "Live Like Experience". Some raids will be easy, some raids you'll run into a super sweaty giga chad. Boss fights should be a challenge while scavs should usually be easy kills. I'm a believer of "if you're surviving every raid because the fights are a joke than it's not fun" camp, so expect to die sometimes.

This preset is what I play with, I'm a 30 something dad gamer with a military background. So the goal is fun, semi-realistic, and not soul crushing.

Install

1. Drag and drop like the below image.

2. In-game press F6 to open the SAIN menu and ensure Live Like Experience is selected. Click save in the top right.

General

• Bots no longer prone in an effort to keep them moving around
• Bots no longer aim center mass globally. This was meant to be a thing from the start, thanks @Lacyway

Location Specific

• Woods/Shoreline/Loothouse all had bot vision range buffs

Rogues/Raiders

• Are now slightly worse PMC's to fit their lore and intended difficulty.

Dev Note

• Finally started actually putting changes on github
