Please add solo mode where all players are solo

maybe smaller map so it doesn't require 60people but I really don't feel like playing with others... and if I just don't want others to join me I am still against groups of 3.

/edit after marking answer:
Solo mode is key focus in the future, not now. So they first have to deal with current things (judging by amount of problems posted here in Steam discussions theres a lot) and then they maybe will add solo mode if nothing changes on the way.

Pretty sure it's not going to be this year, sadly.

Appreciate the feedback.

Given that the solo mode requires optimization and enhancing this experimental mode is a key focus for us in the future, we have chosen to continue updating it until it reaches a satisfactory state without rushing the process.

We understand your concerns and hope that you will not lose faith in our game. We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield in the future. Thank you for your support!

Still no solo mode? i'mma just skip this one entirely then. I don't care for solo queueing against teams of 3. And i really don't want to play with randoms.

VR population is likely too low to support a one player mode.

That doesnt make sense in my head tho. Having low playercount should make teaming up harder. Not easier. Playing solo should queue up faster than having to find squadmates.
Also, a battle royale should only have 1 winner. That's why it's a battle royale...
I know that a lot of gameplay elements like revives and buying back teammates would go wasted if there wasnt a squad mode, but damn. The game just isnt fun for me if i can't play solo. I know i'm not the only one, i've seen a lot of posts on here and places like reddit where people have voiced their opinion on forcing people to team. Solo queue vs squads is just not a good fix for me. I can take out 2 people, but the third guy will get me 9/10 times. You could say skill issue, idc. Solo mode is gonna attract more people into the game.
Also, don't forget this is on standalone too. So if you get teammates, they are probably kids.

Thank you for posting this thread and confirming I would be wasting my money buying this game. I didn't realize this was a squad-based game only. I suppose I'll keep it on my wishlist just in case it gets a solo mode added eventually. Doubt it'll happen, though. Depressing.

Yeah I'm not buying it without solos. They had solos in the beta at one point and their steam page does mention solos so hopefully they haven't abandoned the idea.

I'm not interested in teaming with randos

I'm gonna throw my hat in with this lot. I know, I know. Better with friends and squad play. I just don't wanna. Hell just give me some bots and I'll play in the corner by myself.

I have friends, and i'd gladly play with them sometime. But i prefer most BR's solo. It's just less of a hassle, even with people you like.

Welp...doesn't look like this your game, brother. I think Pop One has a solo mode. It's a pretty decent game.
