Is there a free Metin2 fishing bot?

Yes. There are a few working open-source fishing bots on GitHub, usually written with Python, OpenCV and similar libraries. Because the source is open you can read what they do. In return, you handle the setup and the maintenance yourself.

What is the biggest difference between a free bot and a paid bot?

The anti-ban behaviour engine. Most open-source bots have no breaks, no random timing, no whisper reaction, no death policy and no channel changing. These behaviours are the real source of risk. The second big difference is whether the bot is updated when the game changes.

Is a free bot riskier?

Usually yes, but not because it is free — because it is left unmaintained and carries no human-like behaviour layer. A regularly updated open-source bot that takes breaks can be safer than an unmaintained paid one. The measure is not price; it is behaviour and maintenance.

Which bot should I choose?

Look at the value of your account. If you are testing with a new account you can afford to lose, a free bot is a reasonable start. If you will run it on an account you have played for a long time, you are risking something worth far more than the price of any bot.

Are ready-made exe files passed around on forums safe?

Running compiled files of unclear origin is always risky; you cannot verify their contents. Setting up an open-source bot from its own source, or using a licensed product, is more predictable than an anonymous file shared on a forum.

Metin2 fishing bot comparison

There are three kinds of Metin2 fishing bot: free open-source projects on GitHub, paid commercial bots, and files of unclear origin passed around on forums. This page compares all three as they are — we know we sell our own product, so we also list the real advantages of the free options.

Three options

1. Free / open source. There are a few working Metin2 fishing bots on GitHub, usually written in Python with OpenCV and similar image-processing libraries. You can read and modify the code.

2. Paid commercial bots. Products sold with a license, that come ready to set up and whose developer does maintenance. Byte Software is in this category.

3. Ready-made files shared on forums. Compiled .exe files of unclear origin. We do not recommend this category as an option — you have no way to verify what it does.

Comparison table

	Free / open source	Byte Software
Price	None	Licensed (1 day to unlimited)
Source code	Open, readable	Closed
Setup	Python, OpenCV and other dependencies installed manually	Download → enter license → start
Anti-ban behaviour	Usually none	Breaks, ±20% random variation, whisper/death/nearby-player reactions, channel changing
Puzzle solver	Varies by repo	Yes
Multi-account	None	6-client MultiAcc + character rotation
Remote control	None	Management and notifications via Telegram
Automatic login	None	GF login and server selection automatic
Bait / cooking logistics	Partial	Automatic bait buying, cooking, inventory emptying
Maintenance	At the repo owner's mercy	Continuous updates
Support	None (a GitHub issue is not support)	Discord + Telegram

The real upsides of free bots

There is no point hiding these — they are genuine advantages:

You pay nothing. The most obvious upside.
The source code is visible. You can read what it does; that is not possible with any closed-source product.
You can change it to suit yourself. Adapting it to your needs and adding features is in your hands.
No license or activation hassle. You won't face device limits, expiry or lost keys.

If you can program and are testing on an account you can afford to lose, an open-source bot is a completely reasonable choice.

The real downsides of free bots

These are facts, not smears:

1. Maintenance. Most repos are written for a specific client version. Two of the well-known repos say "old system" / "old version" in their own name or description — meaning they were not written for the current fishing system. When the GF client updates, image templates and memory addresses shift and the bot stops working.

2. No anti-ban behaviour engine. This is the most important point. Taking breaks, randomising timings, reacting to whispers, a death policy, channel changing — usually none of these exist. As we explain in detail on our ban risk page, what gets you caught is less the bot itself and more behaviour that looks like a machine. A bot that runs without pause, always in the same rhythm, reacting to nothing is the riskiest scenario — whatever its price.

3. Setup cost. Python, OpenCV, OCR tools, drivers and dependencies all need installing. For a player without technical knowledge this is a real barrier.

4. No support. When something goes wrong there is no one to talk to.

5. Some features simply don't exist in the free ones. Puzzle solver, 6-client multi-account, account/character rotation, remote control from Telegram, AI whisper replies, automatic GF login, a work schedule.

The real question: the price of the bot, or the value of the account?

This is the question that frames the comparison best. A free bot is free in money, but its risk can be higher than a paid bot's — because what determines the risk is not the money you paid, but how the bot behaves and whether it is up to date.

The reverse is also true: an unmaintained paid bot that doesn't take breaks can be riskier than a well-maintained open-source one. The measure is not price, but behaviour and maintenance.

Think of it this way: if you will run it on an account you have played and invested in for a long time, that account's value is higher than the price of any bot. You should make this decision yourself.

Stories like "my high-value account got banned" circulate often on forums. These are player accounts, not verified data — but the risk they point to is real.

Which should you choose?

Your situation	Recommendation
New account, want to try it	A free open-source bot makes sense. Limited loss, you learn.
I have technical knowledge, I'll adapt it myself	Open source. You can read the code and add breaks/randomisation.
I have a valuable account, I want to reduce risk	A product with an anti-ban behaviour engine and active maintenance.
I farm on multiple accounts	Free bots have no multi-account; a commercial solution is needed.
I don't want to deal with setup	A product that comes ready and is supported.
I have no budget at all	A free bot — but don't run it without breaks and don't use it on a valuable account.

The last row matters: if you have no budget we won't tell you "then take the risk". Using a free bot with breaks and on a side account is smarter than using a paid bot without breaks on your main account.
