Typically, having an enemy in real life or a video game sounds like a dreadful experience, especially if your game involves combat. Even in BitLife, enemies can get in the way of your character’s everyday living. However, there are some benefits, especially if you’re attempting to complete a scavenger hunt, achievement, or weekly challenge.
How to make someone your enemy in BitLife
There are two ways to make someone your enemy in BitLife: wait for them to declare you as their enemy or force their status to enemy in your relationships menu. If you have low friendship stats with someone, they may randomly decide you’re their enemy after you age up. Otherwise, you can manually change it to make someone your enemy quickly.
Regardless of your method, you need to befriend someone first before turning them into your enemy. You can randomly encounter people as you age or befriend people at school and work. If your character is a child or teenager, school is your best bet. Alternatively, adult BitLife characters can enrol into university or pursue a full-time job and befriend their co-worker before turning them into their enemy.
Once someone declares you their enemy or you change your friend’s status, your relationship will drain to zero instantly. Over time, they may start rumors or insult you, and they’re more likely to retaliate with violence if you do either of these to them.
Similarly, if you already have an enemy and want to befriend them again, you can change their status through the relationships menu. You’ll have to work to improve your stats first, though.
For the most part, having an enemy doesn’t benefit you unless you’re completing a challenge or achievement. However, if your BitLife character thrives off having enemies and hurting others, this will certainly help with the immersion. Just be careful, as some NPCs can be ruthless and end your run if you say something they don’t like.
