Battlefield 6 beta is about to start, and a question is bugging fans: Will Battlefield 6 have bots?
Whether you're jumping into a multiplayer showdown or just want to sharpen your skills offline, bots can make a huge difference. Here's what we know about bots in Battlefield 6.
Are there bots in Battlefield 6?
The answer to this is YES, Battlefield 6 will have AI bots in its core multiplayer mode.
DICE has officially confirmed that AI-controlled soldiers will be filling empty spaces in matches if there aren't enough human players. This move is aimed towards reducing matchmaking times and ensuring players jump into a game, no matter what the server population is.
Anna Narrevik, DICE's Development Director, said, "The way the game uses AI is that when the server isn't full, AI will be added to fill the gap." It aims solely to keep the game place smooth, even during off-peak hours or in less populated regions.
Why are fans upset about Bots?
While the addition of bots could appear valuable for faster matchmaking, many players have expressed frustration about it.
People on Reddit say that killing bots feels unsatisfying and makes the match less competitive. Some players even say that they like to play in a half-full server rather than in one with 32 bots.
Can you avoid bots in Battlefield 6?
Well, no, as Battlefield 6 won't have a server browser at launch. Due to this, players won't be able to choose their preferred lobbies and could be matched with AI opponents, especially in casual play.
Still, bots will definitely help maintain large-scale battles and support the game's dynamic environments, but they should be implemented well and phased out when real players join.
So, whether it enhances the experience or not, players will soon know when the Battlefield 6 Open Beta becomes available on August 7.
