So im doinf s runs in parum with a mate, and he has his bot, but when i look at my PC list, it says my bot is in the party too? so does my bot get exp? or i dunno, anyone else notice?

[Phetty]

Do you guys have the same bots? That might be why it says yours in the party too.

yea, I'm not sure exactly why but if you're in a party that has a PM, whether it is your PM or not if will list your PM as being in the party when you look at your list

Only the party leader may have pms or npcs in the game. Unless Sega drastically changed something.

i dunno my bot isn't the same as his, but i swear it went up a lvl or somthing because i don't even take it with me
