Guaranteed to lower your survival rate like live and humble you. Be scared again when a pmc walks around the corner, and upset when they send you back to the lobby to find another salewa.
Decided to make a preset after countless times tweaking in sain across multiple versions. I have no coding experience this is just my tweaking based on so many hours of trial and error and playthroughs of spt (i swear ive spent more time doing this rather than actually playing lol). Ive always wanted the pmcs to feel like real fights and im sure some of you are also looking for that so i wanted to share it and suggestions are welcome . This is just a test alpha version, still feeling out kinks right now since bsg changes ai a lot. Check out Shibdib’s preset, i played for a few days on it and its also a good preset and inspired me to make my own.
NOTICE:
This preset is intended to be used with That’s Lit. It effects the bots difficulty, so using this preset without it could lead to terminator pmcs and harder than intended
a lot of non human advantages the ai gets are hard to combat but this helps a little i feel. I also use starting pmcs on moar for reference.
Summary and what I changed:
A lot of time has mostly went into how CQB feels, so let me know if bots feel unfair at long range like sighting instantly or it feels like the goons (i hate them). Im tweaking cover and bots going prone too much at the moment. I tested raids at low levels and high levels, mostly low. so let me know if it gets harder, this is probably hard to balance since its all ammo and gear based. hopefully bot reaction time keeps the endgame in check.
Only scav and pmcs are changed, my preset every other bot type is vanilla, you can turn this off to have just base sain settings for them or keep it on if you like.
Scavs i tried to make easy but not pushovers. Not much work into them since this is pmc focused.
All difficulties are the same so no variance if you like that, personality is the only variance the bots can have, timmy and coward are disabled since i think they’re too easy.
To save some of your guys time and to be clear: this preset is not friendly for those that want pure balance or just want to chill. this is for those that want to try and mimic the feeling of desperately fighting, clinging to your fir salewa with quick decision and aim fights winning the day like in live. You will be head eyes’d sometimes, but you’ll feel alive again. Also i don’t want the bots to be terminators, but react and kill quick up close like real players would.
At the end of the day a lot of us just want what fits our skill level and how we play so this isn’t a fit all preset and was made with my skill level, and ideas effecting tweaking to a certain extent. Take my settings and mess with them yourself until it feels good for you or drop it in sain and forget. If you do offer suggestions and made edits please make sure your observations are still on my default preset.
INSTALLATION:
Drag and drop BepInEx folder into where SPT is installed
That’s it
Have fun and don’t worry you’ll find another salewa if you can make it out alive

Default scavs version. They are not vanilla but default sain presets. general difficultly that applies to all bots remains unchanged or this would affect pmcs as well.

UPDATE:
Hi all, got busy and couldn’t really update the preset. also was bored of spt.
if anyone still has interest in me tweaking and updating i will, but probably only for 3.10.
i do not plan on making this preset again for newer versions of the game and sain. Really dislike a lot of the new stuff and changes bsg has done since the update 3.10 is based on. Also seen ai has been messed with a lot in recent updates and i honestly dont feel like balancing through bsg’s mess since this preset alone took me 2 years of experiences and tweaks through multiple spt updates.
thank you for the comments and observations, sorry again for going MIA. there is a default scav version now for those that want that
Nah, bro, this is unplayable with such scavs. I hope u will find a way to fix it. I use looting bot and questing bots. In loting bots I set distance of spotting corpses like 25. And I couldn’t even leave Rashala’s fort at Customs. Scavs rushed without stopping. Even couldn’t heal dismounted limbs ffs
Hey! Mod is soooooo sweet, thanks a lot! Is there any chance to make these drunk poor scavs be less professional? They r overpowered, but their side can’t be such trained and agressive. After 10-15 mins they start to rush me without brakes. It’s a bit odd
Hey Ams, thanks for the mod!
I have been testing the preset without That’s Lit (for performance reasons) and it’s very, VERY, nice. Woods is still unbelievably rough, though.
The biggest annoyance for me was PMC spotting responses. Everytime they would scream “Scav spotted” or “Bad guy over there” and give away their position. They still happen, but now they are super rare (1/2 out of 10 encounters, which is great). Plus, there are no more “Granada Toh” or “I’m reloading” (these intermediate call outs are basically non-existent - big W right there). You either avoid their Lebron throws or rush them while reloading/healing, in both cases, you gotta use sound cues.
Potential fix - there are no more dying responses. Everybody who plays this game know how we have to rely on audio to survive. The problem now is that PMC/Scavs don’t scream when they die to a grenade. I couldn’t care less about bullet wounds (which are non-existent now), but this one kinda sucks. I held a corner for 10min VS Glukhar thinking it was 6vs1 while 3 were already dead just to mention one of the many instances where I was in range. Factory and Labs are especially sad like this.
Played almost 25 raids (45min on average).
Feels good, well done
PCM’s feels great, but Scavs feels a bit too much. Possible to have default Scavs and only PMC’s buffed?
I just updated to 3.10, and downloaded this, and after seeing the values… Wouldn’t this profile lead to an unhealthy amount of aimbot? With easier presets in 3.9.8, you could see PMCs one tapping multiple enemies in a second in close quarters or PMCs noticing you very easily even with That’s Lit in maps like Woods.
Is SPT 3.10+SAIN that different compared to the previous version? Or is there an option that you changed that would make the “Difficulty” settings makes sense compared to what I experienced with less extreme values?
Love this ! can you please fix the file structure so it’s compativle with sp-eft manager ?
Is it just me or does this preset make so many scavs agro to you after the first like 7 minutes in raid?
thanks for the no talk release you mentioned before, i used it in a couple raids and its def quiter, havnt heard “im reloading” so far.
have you changed anything else in the no talk version or is it the same config from github? (noticed different CRCs but i will test it anyway)
have you tried PerformanceMode?
however, I dont speak Russian and therefore dont know what the BEARs say to me, if they do at all.
ill let you know if I catch any PMCs yapping
