Ever wondered why you’re effortlessly racking up kills in FragPunk? There’s a good chance you’re not up against real players; you’re fighting bots.
Like most FPS games, FragPunk uses bots in early matches, especially for new players. While the developers haven’t officially confirmed it, players have noticed a pattern: the first three or four games feel suspiciously easy. Coincidence? Probably not.
Let’s dive into why FragPunk has bots and how you can spot them.
Why Does FragPunk Use Bots?
Bots serve a purpose. They:
- Help new players get familiar with the game.
- Make matchmaking faster, so you don’t wait forever.
- Give you a confidence boost before you start facing real competition.
- Most of these AI opponents are set to a low difficulty level. That way, you can rack up wins, level up, and transition smoothly into matches with actual players.
Example: Marvel Rivals Did the Same Thing
FragPunk isn’t the first to use bots. When Marvel Rivals launched, players were frustrated to realise they were mostly playing against AI. It’s a common practice that speeds up matchmaking and keeps lobbies full.
How to Spot Bots in FragPunk
I’m not sure if you’re playing against bots. Here are some dead giveaways:
- Weirdly generic names: If you see names that feel random or uninspired, chances are, they’re bots.
- Unrealistic levels: Bots are often level 31+ but have only played for a few hours. Impossible for real players.
- Predictable movement: They don’t react naturally, making them easy to outplay.
- No communication: Real players usually chat, ping, or react. Bots? Silent.
When Do You Start Facing Real Players?
The good news? You won’t be stuck with bots forever. After winning a few matches, you’ll start facing real opponents. That’s when things get intense.
Outside of competitive modes, you can still practice against bots in a custom lobby. Adjust the difficulty, sharpen your aim, and get ready for the real deal.
