Look what JD wrote
The bots at lower levels do less damage. The higher ones use the actual values for the weapon damage. ie 70 for lg, 45 for shock primI used to beat one Godlike-Bot (1on1 on Rankin), but I haven't played for months now.
But when you want them harder, then try the "VamiprusJR-Bot", it's an advanced bot and you can adjust some things, how the bot behave.
This is definatley impossible to win, for me; I loose all the time.

Are you quite sure? I swear a bot killed me with just two primary shock rifle shots... but the bots take three before they're dead (This is assuming 100 health points and no armor/pickups).
In the single player campaign, the higher end bots definitely have more than normal damage on their weapons.
This might be why:

Also, using a console command open DM-Rankin?Game=XGame.BossDM might give you interesting results.

Beating a godlike bot is kinda tough. I don't even dare to try as I already know the results. And in UT2004 is harder.
Godlike bots are easy in certain situations. Your chances are best when they are further away and shooting rockets at you, while you're pegging them with lightning gun/shock rifle shots. You can even make the bots miss with rockets by deliberately strafing in one direction, knowing the bot will lead you, so switch directions when you see the rocket.
Your chances are bad whenever you are close to them (at any circumstances), or they are using minigun, or shock/lightning gun. Or you're trying to fight them with rockets or flak.
Your chances are at their absolute worst when the ENTIRE enemy team is targetting you in an wide area map (DM-KillbillyFarm, all ONS maps, etc).
Basically, physically stay away from the bot (more room to avoid spam, less chance to insta die vs it's flak cannon), avoid large areas where multiple bots will target you, and only use hitscan vs them. Then they are easy.

Indeed.
That's why a lot of people I've seen who only play bots thinking they are really good at the game go online and get pissed off because their bot trained tactics aren't working.

It works the other way round, too. You can't pull off tricks like jump-over-the-enemy-to-get-out-of-sight on bots, they will just gib you with their Flak Cannon.
I watched someone duel a bot (Mr.Crow) on DM-Roughinery. While that player probably would beat me easily enough, the bot nevertheless got a killing spree. I was watching from the bots viewpoint, when it's view suddenly 180'd while shooting 3 rockets at the (higher midair) player, who died.
Probably the must lol thing I saw a bot shock combo me .... with his BACK turned to me!
I know exactly what you mean. Strategies that would work with normal players don't work with the bots. Porbably the biggest thing that really makes me most angry about them is that they have INSTANT reflexes.
I can't ever surprise a bot for example.I definitely think that a lot more work should go into making the bots play more like humans. It wouldn't be that hard.

Agreed about how easily a bot can dodge...

And I'd add link secondary range as something to be avoided
Also, bot pathing is really poor on most maps & they'll take the same routes over & over, or will always end up getting stuck in the same place, etc.
Once you've learned their routes it's not much of a challenge to set them up & I'm not any good at this game.
eg:
[All bot stat sliders maxed]
