As one player pointed out on Reddit, the AI enemies have gone \u201cabsolutely lethal\u201d after Gray Zone Warfare\u2019s Hotfix 1 update dropped on May 1. From shooting through walls to landing one-shot kills from a suspiciously large distance, the bots have left players shivering thanks to their hacker-like mechanics. \u201cLoving the game but if they're going to have a jungle setting with reasonably low enemy visibility they may need to tone down the AI a slight bit,\u201d the player wrote in their post. \u201cI like a challenge as much as the next person but good God it's like they have aimbot.\u201d Many players are having similar issues with the AI, as the comments section is filled with similar reports. Another player narrated how painful it is to complete quests in Ban Pa because of Lamang Island\u2019s excessively ferocious AI residents. \u201clike 100m 3 thorax shots through foliage painful,\u201d they wrote. Interestingly, players aren\u2019t sure whether Madfinger Games intended to crank up the AI that far or if it\u2019s a bug.\u00a0 Other players pointed out that the AI can not only see through leaves, but they can also scan through solid objects like walls and doors, which definitely isn\u2019t supposed to happen.\u00a0 In most cases, AI enemies in hybrid video games are toned down so they aren't impossible to kill. Gray Zone Warfare, on the other hand, features bots with skill levels far beyond any real player\u2019s capacity. In fact, the game technically has a cheating problem caused by its own AI\u2014it can\u2019t get weirder than this.\u00a0 It seems like a serious bug that requires Madfinger Games\u2019 immediate attention.\u00a0Until then, we suggest laying low and staying away from the PvE experience.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gray-zone-warfare-guide-delete-character-1-e1714483848905.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1217344"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1217344"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1217344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1217369,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1217344\/revisions\/1217369"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1215114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1217344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1217344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1217344"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1217344"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1217344"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1217344"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1217344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
