Servers with bots include computer-controlled opponents or teammates alongside human players. Bots can keep teams populated when few people are connected, provide warm-up targets, or occupy slots until people join. Their number, difficulty, equipment, and behaviour are controlled by the server and may differ from the standard offline configuration. The headline player count and player list show general population but may not always identify every bot correctly. Use the current map and tags to understand the mode, and check available slots before connecting through the listed IP. The server description should explain whether human players replace bots, whether difficulty can be changed, how team balancing works, and whether actions against bots count towards internal ranks or statistics.
The Bots tag marks servers that include computer-controlled opponents or teammates. Their number, difficulty, equipment, and replacement by human players depend on the server configuration.
