Any recommendation how to do SOLO run successfully?

Cause I was surrounded the moment I spawned in

Same problem here. Even if you manage to reach extraction there is a 1 min wait time therefore the game will spawn a lot of enemies very near you or just behind you like a firing squad out of the blue.

Play like a mouse.

Run, hide, stay out of trouble. Take small crumbs and then gtfo.

rinse and repeat until you are more leveled and more comfortable with your character and know what risks you can take.

speed rules.

Suppressors. You do not trigger more than one squad when you decide to engage. However i have yet to extract once from the scrap yard due to the swarming spawn when you activate the timed extract. Very terribly designed.

I don't know about being spawn camped. I have had enemies appear *near* a starting location but never on top of it. And they can be avoided by crouching and sticking to the edges of their vision.

As for escape, different extracts operate in different ways. Some take 60 seconds, others are immediate. You can see which is which on compass at the top of your screen. The timed ones are marked with a timer. Try to avoid using those unless you absolutely have to, as you are basically committing yourself to holding your ground near the exit if you do.

My other advice is to avoid being out in the open. Enemies tend to leave you alone if you stick close to the edges of things. I've snuck past 4 tanks at once just by staying low and trying to avoid being directly in front of any of their turrets.

that should be scrap yard, 5 zombie androids will rush you kill them and around that time timer will be end

a lot of maps have two types of extraction points a instant extraction and a timed extraction. the timed one will alert enemies that are nearby so they will come and investigate

[PLS GIVE ME DESYNC!]

enemy aggression is based mostly on line of sight while being in their attention radius meaning pretty much avoid most enemies on that behavior.

there is no point in crouch walking everywhere.

this one! always take the suppressors only the mobs u are attacking will turn other mobs wont hear you, and suppressors are cheap! around 1k

If you stand still you get spotted more. Sprint for shadows and cover, crouch to hide, watch the (?) for people who notice you. You're better off running past someone than standing behind a barrel, just don't run directly at them. I don't know if aiming a weapon is actually a thing they recognize that affects their AI but anecdotally they seem to react negatively to it. If you're skittering away like a rat most non-zombie enemies will ignore you, and most zombies forget what they were doing the second you're more than 20 feet away.

State of map will have an impact on how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ you are solo. So long as there's heavy fighting you'll be fine so long as you keep your distance. Or only run through if both sides are engaged. Game seems to love spawning enemies right on top of you. Extractions tend to be heavily guarded, Ashen map at least has been impossible for me so far and it's the only map were I know where water is. And the water is the easiest to reach, barring the patrol that walks the walkway which can screw you over. There's always Eurasians guarding the instant one, and there's only one path through, which requires going through them.

Scorched found water in the middle inside a bunker, which is just total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with all the soldiers moving around. Even worst if you hit the map state where Eurasia is in full control of the map. Good luck surviving when you have nothing to distract the enemy. And with only one heavy slot well no enemy sensor if you want that water because it's just swarming and those zombies will mass swarm you the moment you pop a shot from a very long distance.

People keep saying suppressors, but if you can't get water and keep getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over by RNG and the game deciding to park enemies at the extraction. You cannot get those suppressors, since you need to have your water at a certain level and be at a certain level with the vendor. Which is impossible if the game just ♥♥♥♥♥ you over even with being careful and avoiding the enemy.

It's a warzone, but the game does pull quite a bit of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on you. So far I had only two successful extractions and it's been in scorched (timed and instant, timed was surprsingly easy to get to and do compared to the instant which was always guarded. (Run away after triggering the timer and hide). Right now the game is heavily skewed towards group, because with group you can more easily clear and rush through the choke points guarding the extractions. Solo the extractions will more or less be painful to reach and in some cases impossible. Considering that your character likes getting stuck on things and takes forever to start running.

Just take your time look for paths that are not heavily patrolled, move when they are engaged, don't be greedy sometimes it's better to just grab whatever you can and run. And don't rush when near the extraction, they are guarded, more often then not This is what has been killing me the most, since they like to park and extractions tend to be in an area one side controls. And if using a timed extraction, run and hide and wait for the timer to run down. THen run as fast as you can to it, pressing e the minute the prompt comes up. Water unfortunately tends to be found in patrolled paths as far as I've noticed.

Start at Cementery, Extraction doesn't take a minute and Its inside that safe and coozy looking pipe. You can even take a few pop shots and kill a few enemies and extract right after.
