Add Offline Custom Matches with Bots

Under considerationby Iker · 30 Aug

Allow players to create and play custom matches against bots without requiring an internet connection. This would make it possible to practise, experiment, or simply play Bodycam whenever online access is unavailable.

    As the title says - add in the ability to play solo against bots while offline. It’d be a very pro-consumer/gamer move by Reissad.

  • Toon30 Aug

    This would basically add infinite replayability and it'd be super cool and awesome

  • Dylan Duke30 Aug

    Please add an offline mode in a pro - consumer move. It’d be a blessing

    I feel it would be really handy to make sure this game can be played Offline, just with Bots. Just in-case Bodycam’s Online Servers need to shut down one day, which would make this Game unplayable

    Pleaseeeeeeeee i need it now it would be AWSOME to have a work shop with this game and be able to just mess around with bots in bodycam

  • dylan02 Sept

    Really need an offline mode - especially with how few Reissad points are given for bot only matches. Have a separate PvE mode or something where unlocked weapons dont carry across to PvP

    please make your game accessible, so we can play or practice with bots if we had no internet. especially some of us just enjoy playing offline. make online progression only or you can put progression also only for offline. PLEASE ADD OFFLINE LAUNCHER PLEASE

    There are people who like the concept of the game, but who they are not so much into PVP, or maybe they have bad internet. Adding the option of playing offline with bots, will open the game to another group of players. Escape from Tarkov is a prime example of how well that went.

  • Gav04 Sept

    Please add this!!! Could actually let players spend infinite amount of hours just enjoying the realism without stressing in PvP at times.

  • Magne Halvard04 Sept

    Would Host > Private not suffice in this case?

  • Kreeftdog05 Sept

    Upvote for offline bots. I feel games like these can be a hit or miss, sadly most will lose popularity within a few years. Atleast personally I'm not buying anything if I have to trust online services to keep being active so I can do the most basic things with the game I payed for. And ofcourse, free reputation boost I'd imagine.

  • Jacob Vankeirsbilck05 Sept

    You can already do this. Set lobby to private, turn on bots and load into a mode of your choice. Great for practicing and you even earn money still.

  • John sellers06 Sept

    this would be awsome. my internet dosnt work a lot of the time and id still like to be able to play the game

  • Clem08 Sept

    Make it so offline lets you preview all the attachments/guns so you can mod/experiment to hearts content for free

  • Random08 Sept

    It is already in the game you just need to go to host and the offline and then bots on...

  • Brunello08 Sept

    Right now, if you're in a private room with just yourself and bots, it seems like you don't earn any R‑Points. Can we get R‑Points back for those matches? Sometimes I just want to play with bots to get that slightly tense hunting feel and relax. But if I don't get R‑Points for bot‑only games, I can't unlock other stuff. And once real players join, I can't help but get super competitive, and what was supposed to be relaxing ends up being stressful and exhausting.

    Now that anti-cheat is on the way, please add a dedicated second launch option on Steam (e.g., "Play Bodycam (Offline / Anti-Cheat Disabled)"), similar to games like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Elden Ring, or 7 Days to Die. This would be a dedicated mode that bypasses the mandatory Steam/Epic Online Services title screen authentication, allowing players access the Shooting Range HUB, custom bot matches, and (eventually) Zombies without an active internet connection. This preserves the game forever and the hard work that goes into this and all future updates will never be lost, allowing BODYCAM to have a longer appeal into the future and be preserved as a part of gaming history.

    I mean like its already possible but the Offline thing isnt, if you want a match full of bots create one, turn bots on, select the map and make the server private And like if you play only with bots it doesnt make the replayability higher- Bots are just kinda boring because the move in lines, dont have tactics etc. But yeah you need a internet connection (Probably)

  • AP02 Oct

    I'm fine with semi-dumb bots / lucky bots - I just don't want them to conga line/clump and kill the immersion 100% -Sincerely, a busy guy who loves this game for scratching the itch, but doesn't have time for shenanigans

  • Corby05 Oct

    make it like cod you choose a difficulty and you get every gun and attachments
