Bots (not to be confused with Cheating Bots or MVM robots), are AI that simulate human skill you can play in a server that allows these types of bots.
What are Bots?[]
Bots are AI-controlled players created to practice with in TF2. There are a variety of settings requiring sv_cheats that allow to alter the bots, Examples include :
- Forcing the bots to jump.
- Forcing the bots to only use melee weapons.
- Forcing the bots to fire their weapon; as if they were holding the fire button.
Bots are forced to use the Stock loadout but can use other weapons with a plugin. You are allowed to change the difficulty of the bots which affect their aim, cloak reaction, airblast skill + more (greatly explained here).
