PUBG Mobile Players Are Pretty Sure The Game Is Full Of Bots

PUBG Mobile released in North America yesterday, and it’s pretty awesome. But between Heather Alexandra own string of victories and the countless chicken dinners on social media, it sure feels like things are too easy.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Game is a joke. Do yourself a favor and play fortnite. It’s fun, has building mechanics, and runs at 60fps.

I like 60fps, but fortnite is not for everyone. Sure its faster paced, arcade feeling plus the building mechanics make it unique. While its a great game and I can easily see how the skill cap is unlimited when it comes to approaching different situations with the building aspect... PUBG is my cup of tea, realistic Battle Royale :)

Building mechanics are not a plus for me. Realistic shooting and driving mechanic is a bigger plus for BR.

I had a “person” doing sharp 180 degree turns every couple of seconds and running away from the into the red zone in the middle of an open field.

Guarantee 90% of the game is bots.

U can use a mouse on android devices ... no ?

The pattern of movement was the same over the span of 30 seconds and then they’d randomly turn in my direction and shoot. Even though I had never been in their sight.

People was not moving like live players at all just standing and getting shot

Yes there are Bots on purpose depending on your level to help the player get "Familiar" with engagements, you will go 10-15kills your first few games with 90% of those being bot kills. As you level up, the less bot populated servers you will be in.

Im Lvl 15 and died right after drop at school with the first player 1 shotting me with a shotgun. My second game today I made top 7 and 8 kills. 7 kills were players and 1 bot.

For anyone who is are not familiar with identifying bots over players, here are a few easy things to spot:
1: If they run out in the open and suddenly turn and just start shooting at you, they are bots
2: Bots don't drive or loot or jump or pick up armor so if you are top 10 and there is a dude with a white tshirt and a baseball cap on popping off at you, that is a bot lol.
3: IF IT ACTS LIKE A PLAYER, IT IS A PLAYER! Ex: Hiding from you, flanking, jumping around to dodge you, going to a drop, in a building, etc.

It's common that competitive multiplayer games on mobile feature bots, especially for the first few matches. It doesn't mean that the game is always full of bots, it's likely just part of the onboarding process. It gives players an opportunity to get used to the mechanics, and gives players an early high point.

First game I got a chicken dinner.

My 10 year old, who has never played PUBG in her life (although she is a Fortnite player, so she understands battle Royale style play), played PUBG Mobile on my Note 8 yesterday for the first time. She got 4 kills and came in 6th.
