Compatibility

This mutator already includes all features from the following mods, making them unnecessary:
AI effective range decreaser, Bot skill tweaker, Stormtrooper maker, and Basic bot mutator.
For the best experience, use only this mutator.

Mod Overview

This mutator lets you fully customize bot skill levels for both teams.

Features
  • Set custom bot skill level ratios per team.
  • Modify bot weapons based on skill levels with multipliers for:
    • Spread Multiplier: Controls accuracy.
    • Range Multiplier: Controls effective range.
    • Reload Multiplier: Controls reload speed.
  • Enable or disable specialized behaviors:
    • Ignore FOV Check: Bots detect enemies regardless of line‑of‑sight.
    • Has Hero Armor: Bots gain extra durability.

What does bot skill level actually do?

Based on personal testing and digging through Ravenfield’s code, skill level DOES affect several bot behaviors. For example, in vanilla, higher-skill bots are more accurate, are more likely to use their secondary and gear weapons, crouch under fire when taking cover, lean around corners, and more.

Why is it not noticeable?

Because most of these differences are so minor and easy to miss in vanilla. For stronger skill-level variation, I recommend using PAIO+, where I improved accuracy scaling and added new behaviors for each skill level.

Massive credits goes to the original Hijong park’s Bot skill tweaker for the inspiration and idea.
