The bots also appeared in the PC version of PUBG

PUBG got version 7.2 on test servers yesterday, and with it came the hated bots in the PC version.

Less than a month ago, it was announced that the battle royale game PUBG would have computer-controlled opponents in the future so that new players would have a more fun playing experience alongside trained veterans. From the end of the fourth month, the bots became present in all matches except Ranked, but on consoles. In the meantime, it has been announced that this change will not only apply to consoles, but will also affect the PC platform in the next update.

The reaction of PC players to this was quite negative, but the bots were not given up. Yesterday, version 7.2 started testing, and with it the bots. Some players are convinced that this will make the game less interesting in every match until the bots are exterminated. However, the creators of the game say that they need to be given a chance and that the ratio of bots per match is dynamic for each match.

"This is just the first iteration of bots. In the coming months, we will implement machine learning techniques to monitor how people play and improve our bots to behave more realistically. ” - reads the statement of PUBG Corp.

But players aren’t angry just because of the bots. The game with update 7.2 brings a new Ranked competition system, with new rules that give priority to team play of up to 64 players. In addition, the way of ranking on the ladder has changed and now team success for an individual game result means practically nothing.
