</>What does Stronger Crew Bots do?
Stronger Crew Bots for PAYDAY 2 changes the AI heisters that fill the empty seats in your crew. It has two numbers and one switch, and each works on its own. Bot Health % sets how much health the bots have compared with the game's own, from 10 to 1000. At 200 every hit takes half as much of a bot's health as usual; at 50 it takes twice as much. The bots still regenerate the way they always do after a moment without being hit. Bot Damage % scales every bullet the bots fire, from 10 to 1000, whichever weapon they carry. The crew flamethrower is included. Their accuracy and rate of fire stay as they are. Bots Never Go Down keeps the bots on their feet. A hit that would put a bot into bleed-out leaves it with 1% of its health instead, a Taser's shock ends after about ten seconds with the bot standing up again, and Cloakers stop running in to kick bots. Two things stay as the game has them: a bot that gets cuffed still has to be freed, and a heist that knocks a bot down as part of its own script still does. A bot that was already down when you turn the switch on has to be revived once. Only the bots change. Your own heister, other players and the enemies' health are untouched, and nothing is written to your save. Set both numbers back to 100 and turn the switch off, or turn the mod off, and the bots are as the game made them from the next hit on.
</>What is Stronger Crew Bots?
This PAYDAY 2 mod from ProjectMods changes how strong the AI heisters in your crew are. Bot Health % makes every hit take less or more of their health, Bot Damage % scales every bullet they fire, and Bots Never Go Down stops damage, Taser shocks and Cloaker kicks from putting them on the ground. Use it for loud heists on high difficulties with a crew that pulls its weight.
</>Common questions about Stronger Crew Bots
Can my friends play alongside the stronger bots?
Yes, when you are the host and your lobby is set to friends-only or private: the host's game runs the bots, so everyone in the lobby fights next to the same tougher crew. Solo play works too. In a public lobby, or when you join someone else's game, both numbers and the switch do nothing and a short note on the screen says why.
How do I make the bots stronger in PAYDAY 2?
Raise Bot Health % and Bot Damage % above 100. Both go from 10 to 1000, and 100 is the game's own value. At Bot Health % 300 a bot loses a third of the health it would normally lose to each hit, so it lasts about three times as long under fire. At Bot Damage % 300 each bullet a bot fires does three times its usual damage, with the same accuracy and rate of fire as before. A change applies from the next hit or shot, so you can adjust both in the middle of a heist and watch what happens. For a crew that simply can't be put down, leave the numbers alone and turn on Bots Never Go Down.
Can a bot still go down with Bots Never Go Down on?
Not from enemy damage, Taser shocks or Cloaker kicks. A hit that would start a bleed-out leaves the bot with 1% of its health, a tased bot stands up again after about ten seconds, and Cloakers no longer run in to kick bots. Two cases are left as the game has them: a bot that gets cuffed still has to be freed, and a heist that downs a bot as part of its own script still does. A bot that is already down when you turn the switch on needs one revive.
Does it change my own heister or my save?
No. Only the AI crew members change: how much health each hit takes from them, how hard their bullets hit and whether they can be put down. Your own heister, other players and the enemies' health stay as they are, and nothing is written to your save file.
What options does Stronger Crew Bots include?
Bots Never Go Down
Damage can't put your AI crew members into bleed-out, a tased bot stands up again after about ten seconds and Cloakers stop kicking bots. A bot that is already down still needs a revive. Off by default.
Bot Damage %
How much damage each bullet from your AI crew members does. 100 is the normal game; 300 is three times the damage. From 10 to 1000. Accuracy and rate of fire stay the same.
Bot Health %
How much health your AI crew members have compared with the game's own. 100 is the normal game; at 200 each hit takes half as much of a bot's health, at 50 twice as much. From 10 to 1000.
Stronger Crew Bots for PAYDAY 2 lets you set the health and bullet damage of your AI crew members anywhere from 10% to 1000% of the game's values. A third option, Bots Never Go Down, keeps them from being put down by damage, Tasers or Cloakers.
