It's confirmed that bots are not coming for offline modes
Can you please explain DICE, why is there no offline modes for bots? Thank you!
Forum Discussion
@Player55 As I seem to remember it being confirmed you could still level up and unlock items against bots, it may also be to control quick leveling on modified systems.
@Rusty Rat I wonder if the compromise for Solo not being offline will still allow players to progress everything completely against AI.
- @UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R We can use the bots for levelling and so on.
I know that if we kill bots Multiplayer and Co-Op we'll still progress, but I'm talking about Solo where it's just the player completely alone with and against AI. If we can still progress in Solo then that'll be a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Would totally make up for not being offline.
- DICE made a statement about Solo mode.
"SINCE AI SOLDIERS CAN BE USED IN SOLO MODE, DOES THAT MEAN I CAN PLAY OFFLINE?
Battlefield 2042 is a multiplayer-only experience. So while you can play Solo against AI Soldiers if you’d like to practice, it will be in an online setting."

@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R Still no confirmation of how it will work specifically. It mentions playing co-op with friends against bots for fun or single player to practice skills ready for multiplayer. While that might indicate co-op and solo against bots is practice/fun mode only, how do you deal with people renting a server and password protecting it so that it is mainly filled with bots? Unless they only allow progression on official servers, it has to be available in all modes.
Perfectly find if someone wants to crush bots with god mode settings but I personally think all progression should be earned via official settings.
Needing a constant connection sounds like an anti piracy trick and/or it's essential for thr ai soldiers to work properly
