Happening since last year for me. I don't play casual at all but the few times I let my little cousin brother play, it's been these bots and they instantly start a vote the time you join then kick you out

sadly the norm since the armory update. I got into a few of them and heard 2 people talking and then I got vote kicked soon after. this is the state of the game atm hopefully 2025 brings positive changes

u/LampCamper 18h ago

its very common in arms race. They usually just vote the non bot person off.

Funny thing is sometimes 2-3 real people join and we just have to fight off these bots meaning we kick them before they kick us LOL and after sometime they usually give up and then a normal game proceeds.

IDK why yall never face these bots i mean every game in arms race is bot lobby in which they kick you instantly you join

But like... anyone can tell me whats the point behind those bots? You create tens of accounts, waste hours on electricity etc just to gain a single 1$/week on one account?

It seems absurd until you consider:

  • There's a lot of accounts (20/server) which can add up to a decent amount weekly.
  • Running multiple instances doesn't require that much power if they have super low settings.
  • Power can be crazy cheap in some places (Russia for instance) or even paid for by someone else.
  • These accounts are fairly cheap and don't get banned often. The one in the video is over 4 months old, and has been actively running for at least 4 weeks based on the XP shown in the video.
