Can you solo stealth without bots?

[GrimXGB]

I would like to get the game but one big thing is i hate playing with bots, would rather play solo too. Just wanna sneak in, bash a few heads and sneak out. Is this possible?

Some missions start with police already alerted but I think they give you some kind of heads up. However most robbery missions I've found do let you stealth through. I was able to sneak into the jewelry store (non tutorial one) and rob the place clean without police being called. This method would also work as each party member (if you are playing the campaign) can only be used once a day so would allow you to hit multiple places in 1 day.

That and before the mission you get to choose who comes and how many.

All stealth missions, in SP and MP can be done in solo.
the exception: plot stories, which have predetermined party,
but you can just simply ignore them.
In addition to #1 post, Boss (Travis Baker) can be used twice per day.

unless the mission is always loud, you can solo everything.
It might take more time solo but you can do it.

This ain't payday, you can do it solo AND the bots actually help you carry out bags and you can even issue commands. Unless there's a benefit (like a bigger reward), I don't play without bots in this game. It's refreshing to play a game that makes the bots carry bags for you and turn them in too. But also unlike payday like I already stated, you can play solo, which is really nice.

You don't want to be without bots, but most of your best stealth work will be totally done without the bots. You do not need to use them to do the stealth work, you can just invite them in once the guards are taken down to hogtie civilians, haul bags, and clean up after the fun stuff is done.

And if you go loud, bots can cover you. That said, unlike Payday, you don't gimp yourself in combat by going a stealth character.

I mean, in higher payout missions for Campaign, I might just go Solo, or if I'm expecting to carry lots of bags around, I'll bring a low ranking thug character with me to lower their cut payout. Each character that's not Baker takes a % of the mission payout, so the more you have on a stealth run, the less you're earning.

Some character take a small % even if they are strong, there are some legendary (yellow ones) that only take 4% even some rare (blue ones) that go for 2%, if you bring baker in it’s literally nothing and you get security in case something goes wrong (in some stealth mission there could be a random event where you get ambushed by an enemy gang, and the mission will go loud!) however if Baker is well upgraded both in levels and extra boss perk you can solo even some loud one as long as you move good and have good weapons! (Of course that something i wouldn’t attempt in first runs)

Definitely, we have some very skilled solo-no-bots folks in here that can absolutely roflstomp everything at Extreme difficulty.
