I only use the SVM mod and for some reason the bots have become much more complex, in the sense that they have started killing with one bullet and it's always "head, jaw". The AI had not touched the complexity configuration before and the problem persisted, after that I lowered the complexity to "easy" and the problem persisted. And I'm not talking about boss, there's a lot of trouble with them.
The whole problem starts with the wild ones, they are almost always "head, jaw".
I could be wrong if Ghost wants to correct me...
But my understanding is there are 5 bot difficulty settings. The 4 controllable settings and then Special behaviors for special dudes (I have tested the Goons on Shoreline and they aggro at least 300m if they have LOS and pursue 800-1000m before they turn back).
Each bot can independently roll, which influences their danger combined with what they randomly roll as gear. If you get a bot that rolls a Hardest w/ a full auto w/ good ammo, you are gonna die if they aggro you first. That's just Tarkov.
A pro streamer watched me play on Discord and gave me the same advice I will give you: If you set the difficulty so low that your death to extract ratio is below 30%, where's the enjoyment?
