What are QA Troopers in Warzone 2.0?
The soldiers of AQ are the troops of the terrorist organization Al Qatala. These are the main villains of Modern Warfare 2.
More importantly, these are the AI-controlled opponents in Warzone 2.0. They are not exceptionally intelligent and relatively easy to kill, but can be dangerous, especially in large groups. This is an enemy that many squads will take down in large numbers.
Where to find QA Troopers in Warzone 2.0
Different modes in Modern Warfare 2 will use AQ soldiers differently and place them in different locations.
In standard Warzone modes, AQ Soldiers will be limited to Strongholds and Black Sites. These are challenges where squads must eliminate AI-controlled enemies and complete objectives for rewards.
In the DMZ, AQ Troopers will spawn all over the map as a constant foil for you and your team. They exist above all to defend objectives, to harass your team when you call on Exfil. As you eliminate them, more will appear, making them more of an endemic threat, less of a specific challenge to overcome.
The release of Warzone 2.0 is here! If you want to build a solid arsenal, we tell you how to forge a solid M4 loadout, Kastov 762 loadout, and M16 loadout. Elsewhere, we have explanations for Season 1 Battle Pass skins and blueprints, QA Soldiers, and how to unlock Operators.
Rewards for QA Troopers in Warzone 2.0
There are many reasons why killing AQ Troopers is worth your time beyond simply eliminating them as a threat to you and your team.
First, they are a stable and reliable source of XP. When you Exfil at the end of a match, each AQ soldier you eliminated contributes to your upgrade.
If your team takes out all of the AQ soldiers in a stronghold, you’ll unlock your custom loadouts for the game. Given the scavenging and scavenging nature of Warzone, being able to go and collect one – say for your M4 – can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the battlefield. The first team to clear a fortress also earns a black site key.
Elsewhere, if you enter the Black Site and eliminate all of the AQ Troopers, you’ll earn a legendary item to use for the duration of that match, and a weapon blueprint. This will permanently unlock a weapon for all game modes.
