This preset is for SPT 3.11.x and all the pertinent mods for that version (Realism, That’s Lit, TarkovIRL-WHM, and SAIN obviously)

This mod follows the work of theFEARhunterZ‘s Really Real Bots, which was made specifically for Realism + TarkovIRL WHM + That’s Lit. These are my changes to his base work, so foundational credit must go to him!

I’ve separated the my preset changes into five categories: 1) Detection, 2) Aim and aim time, 3) Cover, 4) Suppression, 5) Aggression.

1. Detection has been overhauled in this preset. Generally, bots’ ability to spot the player is much more dependent on movement and body part exposure. That means you are almost certain to be spotted if you’re sprinting around like an Average Tarkov Enjoyer, whereas moving slowly behind concealment will decrease your chance of being seen. Bots can also spot you much further away, more than you’re probably used to.
2. PMC’s and Scavs engage much differently in this preset! They present completely different kinds of threats. PMC’s engage slowly and methodically: even if they have already spotted you, they take a relatively long time to aim before firing; but after they’ve started to engage, they do so with high accuracy and a tight grouping. Scavs are the opposite: as soon as they see you, they will generally starting firing immediately with inaccurate and ineffective fire. They are more of a threat in close and in groups.
3. Bots generally make much better use of cover. They will head to cover more quickly and fight from cover more consistently.
4. Scavs are much more susceptible to suppressing fire than PMC’s; PMC’s are able to hold their ground under fire depending on their level.
5. Contrary to typical Tarkov logic, I have set the Scavs to be generally more aggressive than PMC’s. PMC’s are like you, they have things to do and they’re not trying to get killed. Scavs on the other hand are drug-addicted bandits, inhabiting Tarkov after every sane person has fled, probably years ago.
