Hello!

I was running some lethal missions solo but noticed that the bots do not appear to be properly scaled to the max difficulty. On any difficulty lower than lethal, you can tell they are using higher-tier gear.

For example:

Heavy on Lethal Difficulty

Heavy on Ruthless difficulty

I doubt this would have too much of an impact on most players, or if their gear properly scales in damage, but I wasn't sure if it was intentional as I didn't see anything saying this was part of the lethal difficulty.

Thank you for coming to my Vox Chat.

if anything, bots scale negatively. they do less damage the higher the rank of the enemy. they do basically jack on Terminus enemies. At the least I wish the AI would help to clear Minoris enemies than pumping rounds that serves no purpose into that Carnifex

It is a bit of a pity that the damage output of the AI does not scale to harder difficulties, and especially the AI not dealing any damage on Terminus. Just a few days ago I observed a bot heavy pounding the Carnifex for a felt two minutes non stop, and the health bar did not move at all. Don't get me wrong, coop is meant to be played with others, but sometimes you dont find someone straight away for your preferred mission on absolute. Rewarding players with useless bots is kind of nonsense, not to mention that is immersion breaking.
I see zero reason, why an AI heavy should deal less damage to a carni than a player heavy. I play religiously with others, keep teams together, play several rounds with randoms, because we connect etc, aka, I try to foster a great coop experience for myself and others. So it feels really unfair to then get punished the few times I have no other choice but to go solo.
