I’ve been noticing some odd behavior during missions like Capture, Exterminate, and Assassination in Warframe. There are players who don’t seem to run or use bullet jumps; they just walk around slowly, similar to how specters behave. When we reach extraction, they don’t rush at all and just stroll along. It’s a bit unsettling, especially because when these players go down, they either stay down or just remain still if revived. I’m hoping I’m just overthinking it, but it feels like dealing with AFK bots when all I want is to play the game! Am I paranoid, or is there something more going on here?

Nah, there are definitely some bots around, and what you’re describing sounds right. They behave like specters—very robotic. I’ve seen them mostly in basic missions but had a couple of run-ins in bounties too.
Honestly, when I walk slowly, it’s usually because someone hit the elevator button without waiting for me. But hey, I get it—sometimes you just want to kick back if the team seems fine without you!
I’ve been in that position too, especially when I’m not feeling well. Even level 30 enemies seem to pick on sick Tenno!
You might just be seeing players who are letting their friends or family try out the game. It’s not uncommon for non-gamers to behave a bit weirdly when first trying something like Warframe.
It’s probably just new players or folks who are distracted. DE has been working hard to keep the game clean from bots, and honestly, Warframe doesn’t get hit by exploiters like other games do. Maybe these players are just getting the hang of the game, you know?
Hey, I’ll admit I’ve been that guy sometimes too. But if I’m zoning out, I at least make it a point to test the walls at Mach Jesus speed!
You know, we’ve all been new at some point, and it’s super funny to check out beginner gameplay from back in the day. It really looked different than it does now!
Could be that they are new to the game or playing on a different platform. It’s easy to zone out if you’re not used to things, but I don’t think they’re bots.
Yeah, I get that! They act like they’re programmed; they don’t respond to attacks, just walk around until they reach extraction. I’ve been trying to catch footage too since their behavior is really suspicious!
