One of the most popular complaints we receive since the game release is about partners AI. Now it's time to fix it. In 1.4.0 our aim is to make sure Rick is a real aid to the player, and not just a dummy carrying grenades.

You can now access 1.4.0 Beta Version through Steam by choosing it in the BETAS tab (Right-click on the game in your library > Properties > Betas > Select open-beta > Download the update).

• Rick will return to the player automatically;
• Rick now looks for the potential threat himself the spots from where the suspects are expected to appear;
• When meeting a suspect, Rick now independently takes actions to neutralize them:
• Asks him to surrender;
• In case of disobedience, he uses physical force;
• In case of aggressive resistance, he uses a weapon;
• In case the suspect starts to run away, the ally will pursue him as long as he considers it safe;
• Picks up weapons dropped from suspects;
• If a suspect gives themselves away, the ally will be ready for their actions;
• The player's commands still have the highest priority except when suspects are raising their weapons.
