At Warzone 2\u2019s launch, buy stations didn\u2019t have purchasable loadout drops. Activision introduced Strongholds as an alternate method for earning loadouts. Squads clear out AI enemies and defuse a bomb to acquire their customized weapons. Strongholds served as a replacement; however, the developers backtracked and added loadout drops back to buy stations. Community members praised the decision, but a new direction choice left the need for AI combatants in a precarious position. With players once again having the ability to purchase loadout drops, NICKMERCS questioned the necessity of AI enemies in Warzone 2. NICKMERCS slams the addition of AI: \u201cwho are you making happy?\u201d NICKMERCS discussed his confusion over the need for AI enemies in Warzone 2. \u201cThat AI sh**, I can\u2019t wrap my head around it. Is it because they want people who can\u2019t get any kills to feel like they are doing something by killing a bot?\u201d A chat member argued bots are supposed to present a challenge to getting loot, and Nick claimed it\u2019s different \u201cwhen it becomes a little bit too challenging, and most players are horrible.\u201d The Season 1 Reloaded update decreased AI damage per bullet by 26% and cut the number of units per Stronghold site in half. However, Warzone 2 players still demand more changes as community members blame overpowered bots for ruining matches. Nick argued bots don\u2019t benefit causal or competitive players. Casual players won\u2019t know how to complete Strongholds or have the skill, and competitive players would rather fight real enemies than waste their time-fighting AI. \u201cI can\u2019t understand why it\u2019s a necessity to have this amount of bots in the game. I understand the concept, and I\u2019m even cool with it. But, they shouldn\u2019t be as good as they are, and there shouldn\u2019t be as many as there are.\u201d To Nick and many other Warzone 2 players, The need for AI enemies is dubious, and loadout drops returning to buy stations further puts their importance in doubt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCs slams Warzone 2 AI for being \u201ctoo challenging\u201d YouTube: NICKMERCSWarzone 2\u2019s addition of AI enemies received harsh criticism, and NICKMERCS doesn\u2019t understand the feature\u2019s target audience.
