Call of Duty: Warzone Adding Bots for the First Time in New Bootcamp Mode
If you’re feeling intimidated by the growing complexity of Call of Duty: Warzone and want somewhere to train, you won’t have to suffer on the battlefield anymore. Instead, Warzone is officially introducing the ability to play against bots via a mode called Bootcamp.
An expansion of the Modern Warfare III Training Course that launched in Season 2, Bootcamp is a Quad-only training mode set on Urzikstan that is designed to give players a “snapshot of the real-deal Call of Duty: Warzone experience.” It features up to 20 players via mode-specific matchmaking, and can be accessed either by partying up or via a fill-squad.
Bots are only available in Bootcamp, so their integration is fairly limited, and the new mode also won’t progress the various Daily/Weekly challenges or other in-game quests. Activision said in its announcement that if bots are introduced in any other mode that it it will “ensure the community is informed ahead of time.”
While never really acknowledged by Activision, Warzone is long believed to have had bots in one form or another, usually to fill out games or smooth out the ranked matchmaking. Bots are also a common sight in other shooters like Fortnite.
Elsewhere, Activision has revealed all of the details on Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 3, including the return of Rebirth Island, Warzone Mobile integration, and Snoop Dogg. Season begins April 3 at 9am PT.
