¶ EFT Pre-Raid Difficulty Settings
Specific bots in EFT can have different difficulty settings unique to other bots in the same raid. This page will refer to a bot’s specific difficulty as their difficulty class.
There are 4 different difficulty classes a specific bot can have:
- Easy
- Medium
- Hard
- Impossible
The selected difficulty in the Pre-Raid Setting determines which difficulty classes are allowed to spawn in your raid:
- As in online: Mix of Easy, Medium, and Hard classes can spawn.
- Easy: Only Easy class bots will spawn.
- Medium: Only Medium class bots will spawn.
- …and so on
Note that SVM can be used to change which difficulty is selected by default in the Pre-Raid Setting. Otherwise, it will always default to As in online.
¶ SAIN Presets
Each preset in SAIN’s F6 menu will alter each difficulty class individually. This allows you to separately tweak how hard an Easy bot is vs. a Hard bot, and so on.
Note that this is not the same as changing the difficulty in the Pre-Raid Settings. This will not change which difficulty classes can spawn in the raid, it will only alter the behaviors of each difficulty class.
¶ Spawn mods like ABPS and MOAR:
These mods have configuration options to change the likelihood for each difficulty class to spawn when As in online is chosen in Pre-Raid Settings.
Choosing a specific difficulty in Pre-Raid Settings will instead make all bots the same difiiculty class.
¶ What does this mean for me?
Consider changing settings in multiple places if you are unhappy with how difficult your game is:
Bots are too difficult?
- Choose an easier SAIN Preset (ex. Baby Bots).
- Set the bots’ difficulty to Easy or Medium in Pre-Raid Settings so that there won’t be a chance for Hard bots to spawn in your raid.
- Reduce the likelihood of Hard bots to spawn with a Spawn Mod.
Bots are too easy?
- Choose a harder SAIN Preset (ex. Death Wish).
- Set the bots’ difficulty to Hard or Impossible to ensure that there are no Easy or Medium bots in your raid.
