Hello,

Summery: Request the option to add the AI 3rd character unlock at the shop with co op play. 

Right now on ps5 matchmaking doesn't seem to be a thing. My buddy got me into the game but we could use the AI as back up. Maybe the whole controle of the AI would be difficult with two players having access. Perhaps allowing both players to call the AI and then when the AI is with the player allow the hold position command. Alternatively when the player is activating the AI to follow have the next command be hold position like with solo mode. The sessions can go on for a while so allowing the AI to take the place of the third player is much more reliable than getting a third player who can join for a two and a half hour run. 

Thank you for the consideration

Thanks for the suggestion! Something I have seen requested not only on PS5. As you mentioned the control of the AI is a bit tricky, not only the point of who has access but also that the control panel of the AI is used in Multiplayer by the "quick talk/bark".
If you are with a friend you can always play the 2 of you without needing a third AI, but I guess you feel it a bit different and that's why the request, right?

The AI doesnt really work, so it would just make the game artificially hard right? You would be carrying the AI bot through the levels as they just auto fire.

In which sense "do not work"?

I suppose they do work in that they move around and fire their weapons. In my experience, they won't change weapons, use skills/ultimate, shove, basically any action other than autofire with current weapon. That might just be me though, I am playing on xbox and maybe that part of it is bugged. Apologies on the slow response Daarkarrow. Not really a big deal I guess, I was playing this with a friend and we kinda moved on.

Ok I take it back. Cartie and zed AI will swap weapons and use their active abilities but not their ultimates. Comrade/Shroom will not.

Not the ultimates, but I do think that should be more in the "hands of the player" to decide. As they tend to have a big impact on the game, I could foresee a huge frustration from players if, in a moment of need, they were counting on using them to find out that the AI used it at a moment "that it was not critical".

But the team is working on Blaze and comrade to use their actives as well (as right now both are player decisions only).

Yep fair enough, I guess I am playing it wrong. I don't actually find the ultimates to be that impactful and forget to use mine a lot of the time so the ultimates not firing off is not a big deal really, but the healing from shroom and turrets from comrade mean I won't ever select them on my team if I am not actively playing with them. But I think my skill level just probably isn't there to begin with so it probably doesn't matter what I think. Anyway I had a good 30-40 hours playing which I enjoyed. Thanks for the response Daarkarrow.
