Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released

[-smash-]

A small-ish 14 MB update has been released today for Left 4 Dead 2. Most of today's fixes focus on our SurvivorBot friends.[br]

• Changed Survivorbot item hunting behavior
• SurvivorBots now stay closer to human players in all game modes
• Fixed Survivorbot navigation issue in The Passing: Riverbank
• Fixed bug where a SurvivorBot could become catatonic when attempting to save another Survivor from a Smoker
• Fixed condition where SurvivorBots would not enter the saferoom
• Increased self-inflicted friendly fire damage from the Grenade Launcher
• Fixed bug where the M60 would reset its ammo if dropped in certain situations
• Car Alarms will now trigger anytime a Special Infected pushes/pulls/rams a Survivor into an alarm car. This change only affects game modes with human-controlled Zombies

So they're not dumb now?

I might have missed these, a.o.:

- Fixed bug where a SurvivorBot would leave human players to die when being strangled by a smoker/pounced by a hunter/rode by a jockey/pummeled by a charger
- Fixed bug where a SurvivorBot would leave cover/walk in human player's line of fire/stupidly trigger some event/harass a witch/ponder the universe instead of behaving intelligently

Bots should pick up grenades and hand them to you when you have none.

 

[Sheepo]

Yeah, I've always found it pretty ridiculous that they wouldn't do anything with 3rd slot weapons. "I ALREADY HAVE ONE, PICK IT UP SO IT DOESN'T GO TO WASTE YOU STUPID BOOOOOOT"

 

[Frits]

Indeed, that's endlessly annoying. But then, they mostly shoot many times sharper than any human team mate...
