Is solo impossible?

[HashSlingingSlasher]

I want to get this game but there is only a peak of 500 players a day and that just isn't going to cut it for a multiplayer game, so if its possible to enjoy all the content solo then im sold

[V0lcanF1re]

yeah you can do all in casual \ standard or intense in forward gameplay advance with the bots

[HashSlingingSlasher]

wow they made the AI that good? thats pretty cool

[V0lcanF1re]

not much good but you can download mods that make them brutal better
with mods you can play with friends at private lobbies but not use the 'quickplay' option

no they did not on standard /casual bot are good intense and above no it even says it in the tab of mission you choose bot are not recommended

[HashSlingingSlasher]

so then what does everyone play? is it cross play? have more players on console? is there a reason to play on intense and above?

It is crossplay, and this is an absolute gem of a horde game that you need to purchase if you're a fan of games like Left 4 Dead, Vermintide, or World War Z. Especially if you're an Alien fan, they did a great job of recreating that 80's nostalgia feel.

Tons of customization and progression, I'm US West and find games in less than 60 seconds.

Play the game on Insane difficulty mode with no/minimal HUD and thank me later.

mostly cosmetic is different between difficulties
story mode is do able in insane, if you have good gears and cards
some game mode is impossible in solo, like point defend

that's not true at all...wtf?

YES, you do get better rewards for higher difficulties. some guns and attachments only come from intense+ difficulty

you do.

regarding MP, it's roughly 500 daily average players...on Steam. Those number don't reflect the grand total because it's crossplay. Most of my team mates most of the time are on console. So, my guess is that the grand total could easily be 2-3 times larger than the Steam daily average. I usually find games pretty fast.

I've been playing since launch on PC and you can solo play well with Casual, Standard, and Intense...but extreme and insane will be hard to do solo...but still possible. There's vids out there of people running solo runs with no cards or cybernetics...they make it look so easy.
Best bet would be to play with friends over relying on the community. PC group play is non-existent since the group finder hasn't functioned well in a long while now. You can group with console players, but the lag is real. That all said, I still play it solo and enjoy it...though it admittedly could be so much more with people.

And I'll confirm what DiGiorno said here...you DO get select attachments and cosmetics with higher difficulty levels, horde play, and seasonal events. But what you get out of standard play is plenty enough IMO.
