Questions from a Rookie

Commanders’ Corner
1

Started Enlisted last weekend, game´s more fun than last Battlefield games and reminds me of Forgotten Hope 2 (though maps are smaller), but a few questions came up in my mind.

  1. Are AI-controlled squads in official games and how to notice if so? Sometimes it´s like 2vs6 players and the rest braindead squads.
  2. I´m still playing BR1, researching better equip before going BR2, but is it somehow possible that BR3 players can show up in BR1 servers?
  3. Do i get it right that skins can only be obtained via Gold coins? (if yes, i find it more than dumb)
  4. The most important question: Are my AI squadmates always this stupid? LOL

Welcome to Enlisted and the forum, hope you like it.

Yes, there are entirely AI controlled squads when there aren’t enough real players to fill up a server

Not normally, but under one circumstance. The premium squad bundles the game lets you try for free can contain one BR3 squad and be played in BR1 lobbies, but you very rarely see this so don’t worry about it. For normal games, BR3 stuff shouldn’t be seen in BR1 lobbies.

Mostly, but in each battle pass season there are two vehicle skins, and I think one of them is free if I remember correctly.

Almost always. I find that hiding your AI away from fire and controlling each individually lets your squad last longer.

Welcome to the Community!

  1. As mentioned, there can be times where entire squads are AI. This usually happens after a certain period of time, when other players desert, so the “players” are replaced with AI squads.

  2. When the above happens, some AI squads can become BRIII, I’m still not entirely sure why, but it is what it is. The saving grace there is that AI squads are usually not really that great in the grander scheme of things. So the balance isn’t thrown off too much.

  3. As mentioned, pretty much. But there are often BattlePass or Event rewards that you can get for playing the game. In my experience, skins aren’t all that important, as the game runs pretty quickly, so I don’t tend to worry about such stuff.

  4. Yup. Though, again, already mentioned, you can give orders to your AI squadmates to hold back, or if you want more granular control, individual members can be given orders too. It’ll take time to really make the most of them, but for now, just tell them to hold within 50m of where you’re going. You can put them in houses or trenches, and for the most part, they’ll stay (as long as you don’t run ahead more than 50m).

I hope this helps!

It is kinda hard to recognize AI commanders but here are some tips: Their names cannot have decorators or console icon so if you see those you can be sure it is a real player. On the battlefield AI commanders use customized troop uniforms instead of default clothes with quite random weapon choices. If you want you can go to custom matches and memorize what kind of clothes the AI bots use on each map. AI can also use certain premium squads. AI never uses planes, cannons, AA, guerillas, apcs, motorcycles, event squads or br 5 equipment. If you see any of that being used it is definitely a real player
