Online bosses solo?

[Fitcher]

So after starting with hard online missions i noticed that alot of people just dont kill the bosses and end up with an B rank.

Is it possible to solo those bosses with any of the sub classes and if yes, what should i be looking for so i can solo kill them them?

I mean, if you outlevel them and have the damage in your weapons/gear I'm sure you can solo them.

I mode a post on this a while back; some people feel they shouldn't use their resources while everyone else uses theirs.

There are some circumstances where it's understandable, such as the lower levels not being able to guard the digger.

Level 69, sniper rifle, exploding bullets. You put him down in under a minute. There are obviously also other ways, but it's your level that matters.

I'm not there yet, but I've seen it done regularly. So it is possible. Class doesn't matter.

Then i guess i need to start looking for a good sniper rifle and explosive bullet recepi as i keep leveing up.

I'm a lvl 69 jager, I can solo the bosses before the first wave is even over

That, or join this group and its associated Discord channel: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/MGS2018

You'll find people doing the boss fast already, while you can do what you do best at your level and get that S rank regularly. And in the process, you'll also get that sniper and the bullets blueprints.

If you are lvl 69 you can solo them with a magnum and explosive bullets, it's not about gear or skill or anything, it is just purely levels. If you are below lvl 65 though, don't even bother, the resources you have to put in to kill the boss is not worth the reward at the end. Rather do regular salvage until you are lvl 65 then fight the bosses, or find someone who is lvl 69 and let him kill the boss while you protect the digger.

@shadow that's why I'm not joining anything above normal for the time being.
Which level do you suggest someone will be to actually attempt hard?

[Nikolai]

I'll just level up. I hate it when lower levels leech of of others on other games. I don't want to be "that guy" in this game.

Thanks for the info!

i started with hard on lvl 46, doing what i can with grenades, molotovs, barricades, decoy and bow.

And not one single time have i had the lowest score, i always come on 2nd or 3rd place close to the others.

I just hit lvl 50 and i noticed wave 1-2 is much easier but wave 3 need still need more effort.

Edit: Also, i barely use my guns at all unless things go realy bad, the thing with the online mission is that you dont need to go all out, but having it with you and know when you need to push out more will help you save resourses but at the same time being effective.

With careful planning and co-ordination, killing the boss is not necessary.

However, this is assuming you either run into a group of random people of notable camaraderie or you are in a dedicated group of friends who either talk through voice chat or have managed to work out steady rhythm.

While the ideal scenario, the reality of Quick Match makes this a minimal occurance and makes killing the boss (if capable of such a feat), a nice safety net should someone drop a rescue and they proceed to get curbstomped into the dirt.

I solo bosses. I can get S alone because of this. The feature that lets you bring in mats is fully utilized when soloing a game. A lot of people do not have the gear to down the boss or even help. You need either grenade arrows or a sniper with explosve rounds. Also you must be level 69.

[Fitcher]

Are the grenade arrow and explosive ammo recepies dropped from hard missions or from the base dig?

I got them from the slew of base dig rewards that were awarded after last patch. Im still missing base dig 1 & 2 recipes though. Not sure if you can get them in co op

[Fitcher]

Aight, i see if i can get them from there.
