Gallery of interesting paths now that bots are incentivized to avoid the most wide open areas when traversing the map: 
Bots now generally hug walls as those NavAreas have fewer visibility connections along that edge: 
A bot with a Supa takes the slightly long way around to take advantage of the closed off visibility area: 
The cars, particularly the bus and truck, provide defilade protection when advancing: 
The nudge away from exposed NavAreas encourages bots to use the defiladed ponds as cover. 
The NavArea valleys under the rocks also have a reduced visibilty penalty for traversal and are now relatively less costly for bots as path choices: 
An NSF Recon bot with a ZRL advancing to the garden (bottom center) moves to a NavArea that has many visibility connections due to exposure to both the garden and the pathway: 
A bot with a semi-auto battle rifle uses a path that has wide open views:

Now that NavArea pathing costs are slightly elevated, need to bump up the penalty for jump paths to match the relatively increased baseline penalty costs.

When working on ladder climbing, I noticed that the previous penalty cost was so heavy that bots would fail to climb a challenging ladder a couple times and then never touch that ladder again for the rest of the match. So I figured toning down this penalty was warranted.

- Bots with shotguns shy away from NavAreas that have many visibility connections - Bots with pistol caliber weapons slightly avoid areas but to a lesser degree - Bots with scoped/semi-auto weapons favor exposed NavAreas with long sightlines - Generally, a minor penalty is applied for NavArea exposure for bots to avoid wide open exposed NavAreas
