Is Solo Endless supposed to be so easy?

[Intrspace]

To me it seems the difficulty of this mode only comes down to patience, rather than actual gameplay difficulty. The only times I die in this mode is when I get to a small arena on a map specifically designed for Endless, such as KF-Path To The Void (workshop).
Maybe it gets more difficult in waves 20+, but by that time I'm already bored.

I mostly play on Suicidal and the Survivalist perk, but even on perk levels below 10 it was too easy.
I know you could say "just play HoE", but Suicidal Endless is disproportionately easier than other Suicidal game modes.

HoE endless is also a bit easier than regular HoE, same can be said for Sui, hard and normal. It usually gets difficult up the higher waves, when bosses get more buff and you start getting more weekly mutators or one specific type of ZED.

Solo means very low or almost no resistance on zeds, along with low hp etc.

In solo Zeds have the lowest health and you also have all the dosh, so yea, it's the easiest way to go.

That's not the point. The point is that Solo Endless is much easier than Solo Survival, so much so that it feels unintended.

Balancing is different in Endless. But, it will get harder. If you stop at wave 15, well....you've missed the Endless experience.

Endless start out very slow.
You need to stay a while until endless difficulty catches up with the survival difficulty.
Wave 1 is the only challenging wave until much later.

I noticed that the overall zed count on solo endless regardless of difficulty is at max 25-30. This doubles once you hit wave 25 I think. I suppose that could contribute to why it feels a bit easy.
