Why do the NPCs have aim bot

[Drill Sergeant]

One bullet takes half of my health!!! It's insane how accurate they are. They can snipe me with a baseball bat and still get a headshot from 200 meters away. And they're so annoying most of the time. They are the reason I rage on GTA. It seems like enemy NPCs have more health than me. This makes me wanna get in a tank and go on a rampage! And somehow cops found a way shoot me through a tank too! "Go away NPCs. It's not my day."

its to make up for the poor ai intelligence. they are all crack shots, even the gangsters. ever notice if they don't kill you instantly, they literally walk circles around you

[Guest]

R* are hellbent on making the game annoying, f*ck knows why, pretty much all NPCs are there to piss you off.

If I could play the game with ZERO NPCs, I'd be happy, even if it'd be depressing.

Npc's have aimbots because you do too.

 

 

No fair Rockstar! Make sh*t easy!

Finally, someone cuts the bullsh*t and just states they want to win without any effort whatsoever.

[DJ Kornphlake]

Their accuracy doesn't bother me nearly as much as the insane range their weapons have.

R* need to reconsider what's 'challenging', the game should have realistically smart AI and the player should have to aim for their damn selves.

Love the aimbot blindfire snipe from 70m away with a pistol

What about those of us who play on Free-Aim? We don't have aimbots. Regardless, OP has a point. The NPCs are just ridiculous with their shots. I LOL'd at sniping with a baseball bat. I've had an experience where I would be flying at max speed of a supercar right past a NPC, and their shot could register on me.

 

The AI really is stupid. Their aimbots are one of the things that really upset me about this game. It's stupid. I could be flying in a helicopter and bikers could be hitting me with a pistol. Gangsters with low firearm training are pulling off impossible shots with micro-smgs.

 

I grab an objective, and they spawn in their vehicles traveling at 200 mph and they have the accuracy of a Navy Seal.

 

Then, there's the dreadful health glitch. An NPC could shoot you once and your health bar will glitch red, even though it's at half (which should be green). If an NPC so much as grazes you with a bullet, you're dead. I'm so sick of it...

Oh my.. so much this.

[sultangris]

its a little better when you reach rank 100 and max out health stats. heres a little pro tip for you though, dont even waste money on armor, its 100 percent worthless, especially at low levels, even when you can finally buy the maxed out version it only stops like one or two bullets, and you usually get headshot from the perfect AI anyway and it dont protect your head. It also disappears every time you change sessions.

Yea thats why it sucks and takes much longer playing missions on free aim. at least in free mode with free aim all player suck equally, haha!

You realize GTA has used auto aim since at least as far back as san Andreas. Maybe even vice city. This isnt a fps or even a 3rd person shooter. It is not the games primary function .

 

The only problem I have is with with range of people doing drivebys on you . Pin point accuracy on me while flying a buzzard at máx speed while they are also driving at tops speeds. Its stupid.

That's a legit gripe then, if you're playing with auto aim off and the computer still have auto aim then that's kinda unbalanced.

[elfoam]

I was playing the new RR with my low level character and the mission had failed twice because of the bug when you get a headshot by the case out the back.

 

So third round in I stayed out the front literally up the other end of the street well out of auto rifle range and sniped into the building. Then after I had killed most of the I got one single headshot from a guy deep in the building and died... Mission error again.. Wtf man. That's 60k credits rockstar owe me just from today. Everyone else in the mission was alive and well.

you must be pretty damn close if they can lock you from a car with the sh*tty short range weapons they force you to use in a car, unless theres a bug that extends the locking range or something, lol! Pro tip for today, when flying the buzzard stay farther away from all players. You cant lock them and they can lock you. Plus its 10 times harder to aim a buzzard than a gun even without auto aim. Buzzards get virtually zero kills against players who arent standing next to a police car or in an aircraft of some sort.

 

Also GTA has been auto aim in every version on the console.

NPCs have aimbot because they can't very well aim for themselves, now can they? They are NPCs after all.

if you use R2 to restart any mission it is corrupted and fails every time until you quit and go back to free mode and start it again. use continue to replay a mission instead.

I play free-aim as well.

The difference is that I welcome the challenge. It's reminiscent of the 8-bit games; don't f*ck around, stay focused and overcome the opposition.

Most people rage if they can't pass a mission on their first try.

 

Because of the AI having brilliant aim; it's forces me to stay on my A-game as well as improve my reaction and accuracy...and it pays off big in DMs.

 

Hell, this game's AI isn't that hard; GTA III's cops were more ruthless what with their ramming their cars at you rather than trying to stop you...and the military with their m16's? Good luck surviving 25 seconds...

Im talking npcs on missions. I think they buffed their range while playing on hard now. Used to be fine but now ill be up pretty high and always on the move yet they lock me every time. Especially annoying on ls connection. Basically use 2 buzzards now because they shred one at the depot every time.

I honestly think that this game was a little on the easy side. Especially when compared to some of the older games. Maybe I'm just a GTA God after years of playing the franchise, either that or this dude really sucks at the game. (More than likely it's the latter)

[LightningLord]

I'm sick of the damage and health buffs they have. Plus their aim. Oh an NPC has a pistol. Im dead.

not only AI's accurracy

~ your strength are low

~ AI's accuracy are varied , in vehicle their accuracy just same as autoaim even driver can still autoaim ( doesn't matter , pistol or AP pistol )

~ all of sniper NPCs , minigun & MG / combat MGs NPC are crackshots even their aim scaled low

~ in one of mission , teaser trailer . the enemies are buffed which far resilience than ordinary player ( testament durability is can survive few hits with heavy sniper , a armor pierching sniper that has fearsome reputation : capable kills any player on single rounds )

~ like cops , hostile NPC has tendecy to pin u

~ currently rooftop rumble . enemy are significantly accurate ( some wield pistol / SMG & advanced rifle ) , so blindfire with auto-shotgun is recommended

 

so its highly suggested take cover when facing multiple enemies

ah, roger. yea NPCs have unlimited range with any weapon in missions. them f*ckers can hit you from miles away with the pistol and it doesnt really matter if youre moving or not. cover is key, and so is eating snacks to refill your health cause it doesnt take many shots for them to kill ya no matter if its on hard or easy, but always play hard. they take a few more bullets to kill but give more rp and money.

It's pretty easy to score kills in a buzzard even on moving targets. Its just learning to lead your target before you fire. Its essentialky like hitting moving targets with sniper rifles. Aim in front of them. How far infront varies with yiur soeed and there soeed but its pretty easy to pick up.

 

As for enemy ai I kinda agree with the range issue they have. For me it was most prominent when a bad guy at the bottom of the hill in coveted could pistol whip you at the top of the hill with your sniper rifle.

 

Also agree that the accuracy makes up for relatively lazy ai mechanics. When you have 7-8 bad guys all taking cover and they make zero attempt to move round and flank you or anything just wait to be oicked off 1 by 1. Its quite noticeable in survivals where 15-20 bad guus will all come at you from the same direction.

 

Coild use some improvements.

You know you can stock armor now. And put them on within 1 second of the next. And basically Rambo thru sh*t like never before.

[Skylan]

It's not the aimbot that bothers me...

 

The ridiculous range of the A.I. bothers me.

 

The fact the center of the camera doesn't line up with the reticle of your gun, bothers me.

 

The fact armor is made of paper, bothers me.

 

The fact your character always takes an extra step when you're done aiming, bothers me.

 

The fact that Kanye and Kim joined forces to produce an offspring, bothers me.

 

Enemy aimbot is fine - I have my own.

actually did not know that cause i never use it, it still doesnt matter though unless you are playing against noobs. good players headshot you and armor does nothing. How to you quick equip it? i find it takes long enough to navigate the select button menu to eat a f*cking snack or 10 since you gotta hold select a bit to get it to show up. assuming armor would be the same? i did see the armor category after they f*cked up the menu layout but didnt know you could store more than one like snacks.

The thread title makes me wanna cry because they don't know how to pick a goddamn dictionary and define "aimbot"

 

It's not the aimbot you bloody idiot! It's the way that R* give them a ridiculous range and damage to their weapon. Also, the reason they do this because to make the missions challenging and give what it deserves to what it feels like you completed the mission. Stop whining like a little bitch and just do it.
