[GUIDE] How to Rank/Level up with bots without a server

[BoxOfMysteriez]

In case anyone was ever looking to do a sort "Combat Training" mode, here is a quick guide on how to rank up against bots

Step 1: Go to the Custom Games screen and select your preferred map and game mode
After that, type ui_mapname into the console and note down the maps code name. (It will not always match, for instance Nuketown 2025 is mp_nuketown_2020)

Step 2 Back out and go to the Public Match screen, then open the console and type map mapname of the map you previously noted down and press enter (Example used here is Aftermath or "mp_la")

Congrats, you will now be placed in a ranked game with the ability for bots, if using the vanilla Pluto client you can type spawnbot (number) in the console. Although I'd recommend using t6 bot warfare for better bot support and more commands.
Important: Remember to set your classes/streaks in the public match screen. These will be the ones used in these matches. NOT your private match ones

I'm honestly not sure why Pluto doesn't just add an option to make this easier or have private match rank like IW5 but this is a trick I've used for years and it still seems to work just fine.
