Improved Infecteds AI

I was making a mod that improves the Boomer behavior cuz i found him weak and then i thought to myself why not improving all specials?

This mod improves the specials and bosses (Tank & Witch) behavior and makes them more powerfull

I Also have made a seperated versions for each infected, see Improved Infecteds Collection

MOD BALANCE FEEDBACK:

Boomer: He needs a little nerf for his vomit ability because you can't even kill him immediately since he already got the ranged and insta-vomits you when he sees you, and it's hard to react to it since he blends well with the commons. It's basically permanent horde mode.

Smoker: THE MOST BROKEN SPECIAL INFECTED in this mod; it needs a nerf since he instantly grabs you and locks you down with no counterplay at all.

Tank: Just remove the shotgun and grenade launcher damage reduction, and overall his kit is pretty balanced.

Charger: Balanced

Jockey: Remove his AoE knockback when he jumps to a survivor; he's pretty powerful with that move compared to Hunter and Charger (lore- and gameplay-wise).

Spitter: Balanced

Witch: Balanced

P.S. It needs some adjustment; it's hard to play this solo or even with having Left 4 Bots 2 as a mod. Not every player can play at noskillch's level.

So this mod is for pro players?

I honestly would like a more toned down version of this mod. I like the changes in theory but in practice it's too extreme. Every SI moves so unnaturally fast and the damage they do is absurd. The fact that a charger can launch a survivor across the map from a single charge is, while funny extremely unfair and broken.

Cool mod, i like how you buff these special infected :) :totBattery:

FCK the smoker i love it
Doomgamer9000 31 Jul @ 7:58am 
This mod is great does that mean there will be plans for Improved ai survivors?. Im aware there's ai survivors bots improvement mods. But I'd like to see your version. 😉
iancalagua2 18 Jul @ 7:36am 
a versus game in singleplayer, amazing, perfect to practice
Officer Friendly 28 Jun @ 10:44pm 
i dont get the logic behind shotguns and grenade launcher dealing less damage thats not improving the ai. why would you do this to that poor fucking grenade launcher its alredy such an ass weapon.
askvra 26 Jun @ 2:12am 
I modified this mod into a toned-down version here in case someone feels overwhelmed by Chargers and Smokers :steamhappy:
