## Bot Behavior

The behavior for the AI is a bit simple. When the AI is driving, they drive slower than the player, and they drive slow enough they do not drift, (Save for the exception for the Aggressive bots, which use one of the 6 default Skins, drive fast, drift, and uses Weapons very often.) And often hunts other players down. The AI is not very aggressive, Noting that they do not use weapons often. Their behavior for each weapon is displayed below:

* Mines and Fake Loot Boxes: Deploys them about 3-5 seconds after picked up, regardless of who is nearby.
* Spiky Balls and Invincibility: Deploys when somebody is in very close range
* Straight Shooters: Deploys at random, usually if somebody is in front of the bot or in its sight. Will sometimes use even if nobody is around.
* Lob-Grenukes: Uses at random. Sometimes, it will aim at a player in front of them. Usually tries to use them in a way as a trap.
* Cannon: Used when there is a player in its vicinity. Sometimes, it will aim at a player in front of it.
* Machine Gun: Used when it is able to home in on a nearby player, otherwise waiting till a player is in range.

Aggressive bots follow the same behavior, but is more common in using its equipped weapon.

If anyone knows more bots, please add them!

Each bot also has a background description when you click on their profile. See more about them on each bot's separate pages.

If a bot kills you with the Machine Gun a text will appear on the screen that says "Bots Name: I have a machine gun! Ho-ho-ho"

Common Bot Glitches include bots lagging, bots flying through the air, and bots not showing up at all.
