If you’re wondering what the new Warzone 2 AQ soldier kills tab refers to, we’ve got all the answers. You may be familiar with AQ soldiers – members of the Al Qatala terrorist organisation – in the Modern Warfare 2 campaign. They appear in Warzone 2 as AI-controlled opponents, and you’re almost guaranteed to encounter them during a match.
AQ soldiers are found in Warzone 2 in all modes, including DMZ. They usually use LMGs or sniper rifles. Individually, they don’t present much of a threat, though you can run the risk of being overcome if they advance in large numbers. You should coordinate with allies via Warzone 2 proximity Chat if you are concerned that some of them might be heavily armoured.
Kill count and AQ soldiers
Crucially, AQ soldiers serve as the first line of defence for Warzone 2 Strongholds and Black Sites, so get used to taking them out if you’re looking to secure a Black Site key and gain access to many of the best Warzone 2 loadouts. You’ll also go up against AQ soldiers in the Warzone 2 gulag, which can somewhat complicate your showdown with the Jailer.
Warzone 2 AQ soldier kills apply to your stats in the FPS game, though they’re kept separate from your K/D count under the aptly named ‘AQ Soldier Kills’ tab. Although it is satisfying to kill them, don’t get too involved in AQ soldier deaths. They respawn in an endless cycle, except for Black Sites and Strongholds. Clearing out Warzone 2 maps only encourages more AQ soldiers via helicopter to enter.
The degree of trouble you’ll have going up against AQ soldiers is minimised when you’ve got the best Warzone 2 guns in your arsenal. If you acquire the M13B assault rifle, the best in multiplayer gaming, they can defend the Chemist. Once you’ve kitted yourself out, take a look at the available Warzone 2 contracts and what you can expect to receive after completing them.
