About

Hi, I'm Tork

I made this page because I was playing squads with my firends one evening.
The last match of this evening was suspiciously (overtly) easy.
We knew already that PUBG puts bots in the games for various reasons, but I wondered just how many bots there were.
The next morning I had conjured this image:

I also have a personal web page, if you want to see more from me.
While I'm at it I may as well drop my Ko-Fi link.

FAQ

What do you mean by bot?

PUBG has very low queue times for matchmaking, around 5-10 seconds in my experience (normal matches, EU servers).
Keep in mind that the following is mainly my own speculation.
In order to accomplish this, they fill lobbies with whatever real players they can find in queue.
Then, they fill the rest of the lobby with simulated players, A.K.A bots.
So during off-peak hours, you may get more bots in your lobbies than if you were to play during busier hours.
I also believe that newer players are put in more bot heavy lobbies, as a way of easing them into the flow of PUBG.

How do you get this information?

PUBG has an official API that allows you to get all sorts of data.
In the match data specifically I am able to sort real players from bots by looking at a participants playerId.
Below is an example of this, see if you can spot the difference between the two:
"playerId": "account.30bc126de6c1424382cd7767d7278777"
"playerId": "ai.350"

Troubleshooting

ERROR: No Players Found Matching Criteria

This error indicates that the username you searched for was not found in the PUBG database.
If you know this player exists, try checking the spelling of their name.
"Torktumlaren" and "torktumlaren" count as two different usernames.
Also make sure you are searching under the correct network, such as Steam, or PSN.
You can choose between these in the dropdown menu by the search bar.

If you've tried all of these options and still get the same error, the username may belong to a PUBG bot.
