all he'd have to do to implement it is add a new interactable object in the starting bathroom. maybe like a bottle of everclear if you like your dealer AI like you like your alcohol

[@Damini368]

If I was the Dev I might give the dealer the number of rounds left in the load, the number of live rounds, and the number of blanks, and let it make decisions based on the ratio of live to blanks during the game, instead of always doing a 50/50. Like if the dealer knows all the blanks have been used he always shoots the player, and if there are an even number of rounds he uses a beer to tip the scales one way or the other. I'd also patch the using beer after magnifying glass bug by either preventing the dealer from doing that, or resetting the “round known” flag when the dealer uses beer.

The dealer using his items to maximize damage per round makes sense because he doesn't GET multiple rounds. he only has to win ONCE. You have to win an infinite amount of times. He only has to get it right ONCE. This would make him more lethal, more unpredictable, and as a result -- HARDER. That said, as you said, overall thinking and looking BEYOND the current round would also make him harder. Definitely something I'd like to see added to either the mod, OR base game.

Yeah, meant to say "loadouts." I.e. there might be an argument to save magnifying glass in a 1 live 3 blank scenario for the next loadout, but yeah, dealer may never get to use it again anyway, so also an argument to just use it if it's beneficial in the current loadout at all

He actually didn't waste it; later in the vid, it turns out if you saw off the shotgun and aim at yourself and hit a blank, it remains sawed off. So if you know you're going to use the handsaw no matter what you see with magnifying glass, you can saw it off ahead of time

Buckshot Roulette as a whole is a story of how difficult fighting addiction can be when you’re surrounded on all sides by another hit, just one more pill-and how the resulting struggle can cost you your life. The dealer himself is a distorted face without a body, only possessing hands with which to shoot you, a voice that only urges you on to risk your life for the high. It’s really only an interpretation, like OP said, but it’s a very poignant one. With how over the top and casually BR treats substances and the abuse of them, it’s easy to miss the interpretation that the dealer is a stand in for addiction.

The Mod creator pointed out that the game was designed around the player always going first. Thing is, the dealer gets multiple rounds, infinate in endless mode, but the player only has to die once to lose the entire game. Thus, the player gets the advantage. Also, the dealer is liable to kill you without giving you a chance to react if he goes first. Player going first means they can manipulate and plan out their turn, potentially changing the dealer's outcome.

[@AdrianOkay]

The winner of any load would at that point be determined solely by RNG and the first shot advantage, assuming a perfect player.

Damn, I see the difference with the much, much more aggressive Dealer in this instance. I love it. Glad to see they're modding the game already, too!

[@andrewedmunds4583]

I'm kind of curious how difficult a "rigged" dealer would be; i.e. a dealer who always knows what the next shot will be. The dynamics of how you decide your turn changes drastically, since if the dealer ever gets a turn, you're guaranteed to receive damage if there's at least 1 live round in the chamber. Could you even win against a rigged dealer?

[@audiosurfarchive]

Entirely depends on items, health value and L/B ratio but mostly the former two. You'd need to hit every time, and Dealer could kill you with a single handcuff pair in all but 4 health load outs with ≤ 1 handsaw. EDIT: I'm not as smart or good at maths as DKB but I'd guess you'd need more than +1 EV avg per trigger pull as Dealer's gonna hit you no matter what when he gets a turn--he has at minimum a +1 EV per _TURN_ as he'll cycle to a live ASAP and shoot. That also means you can't count on using the total shell count "being on the odd (as DKB says)" to your advantage as Dealer will always cycle to the next live by ejecting as many blanks as needed. I'm not sure but I'd be interested in what the win conditions are because I can imagine plenty of lose conditions if Dealer ever gets Cuffs, Adrenaline or Handsaw. _Very interesting.._

[@NeverSnows]

If the dealer plays optimaly, then, to get a 50% chace of winning, you yourself would have to play optimaly. That is, if the game was fair, but since you always go first, you have quite high odds of winning if you stall his turns long enough.

I can definitely imagine a slightly stronger AI. Like I imagine stockfish from chess, and instead have it brute force several rounds in advance in buckshot. Also it would take into account all the different variety of items both sides can roll, along with figure out the optimal usage of the items for each round that both sides can make. And just literally brute force it all, just like how stockfish goes through millions of nodes each second to brute force the best moves to make in chess, the dealer AI could do the same in Buckshot. Basically it's goal would be to kill the player character in as few rounds on average as possible. Kind of like how stockfish tries to checkmate it's opponent in as few a moves as possible. This AI probably wouldn't even need an item ranking. I could also imagine that buckshot might be simple enough that the 'solution' to what should be done at any given situation could be found. Kind of like chess endgames. In that case there wouldn't even need to be an AI, the dealer would just need to look up what the optimal play to is in each situation in a tablebase. I'm not entirely sure though how difficult it would be to do either of these though

[@AdrianOkay]

if an average low-mid end cpu can calculate 20 chess half moves in the future in the midgame thinking for roughly 6 seconds, i'm pretty sure the AI could calculate the entire game while you're still choosing your first move, would be fun, but they probably would need to add more objects and rules because you would have no chance

The odd vs even is really just "does cycling it now take a shot away from me or from them". If the are no other items on the board, then if there is an even number of shells cycling always removes your opponents last shot. I haven't run any numbers but it wouldn't surprise me if the fact that targeting yourself and being wrong that not only takes your health but makes it the dealers turn heavily weights the expected outcome against taking that option unless there is a very high ratio of blanks to live rounds. Also, if you're only considering expected damage to the opponent and not expected total health advantage, that would additionally skew the calculations against targeting yourself.

[@blueyoshi4211]

Honestly I take back what I said about it being fine if the dealer were to cheat I thought going first would confer a much bigger advantage than it actually does, and the fact that you have to win multiple times in a row makes this game feel ironically a lot more luck based than when the dealer was shooting randomly

I just realized that on run 2 waiting to use magnifying glass was actually a throw, since there was no beer on the table and there were 3 live rounds. That's 3 total damage and the round can only end with either you dead or both players moving on with 1 health thanks to the heal the dealer had. He should have prioritized surviving the round and used the magnifying glass because he absolutely had to get 2 damage on the dealer just to survive. It really had little to do with the AI, even if the dealer had no items and only fired at the player that round was still extremely likely to end the run.
