Does Naraka Bladepoint Have Bots?
Some Naraka Bladepoint players have noticed their first few games were easier than expected, leading many to wonder in Naraka has bots. Like Fortnite and a handful of other battle royales, Naraka Bladepoint does indeed have bots, but players wont face off against them for long, assuming they are capable of progressing up the ranked ladder. Considering how easy the bots are to defeat, most players should stop seeing them within an afternoon of play. Bots in Naraka Bladepoint are used to ease new players into the game. Naraka Bladepoint uses bots in the early game to help new players acclimate to the more aggressive flow of the game. Bots usually give themselves away by running into walls and performing other braindead actions, but theres no real indication in the HUD that shows who is a bot and who is a player. Even their names are designed to help them better blend in. This is because bots are slowly removed from the game and replaced with actual humans as you progress up the ranked ladder. In the Bronze tier youll face more bots than people. Silver youll start to notice more actual players than bots, and by the time you hit the higher ranks of Silver you should be facing off exclusively against real people. Oddly enough, bots cant be used to populate Custom Matches. This seems like an strange omission, seeing as they are in-game and would be nice to add to Custom Matches as optional opponents. You cant get XP or complete Challenges in Custom Matches, so hopefully 24 Entertainment will allow players to use bots in their curated lobbies. So, yes, Naraka Bladepoint does have bots and you will face them during your early matches. If you fear the game is too easy just keep playing; youll face-off against actual, difficult humans within an hour or two of play. That is assuming the bots dont kick your ass. Naraka Bladepoint launches August 12th, 2021 on PC via Steam and Epic.
