best class for solo play

[kazel90]

what is the best class for playin alone?

[ULTRA]

A case could be made for every class depending on the mission type. If you have BOSCO with you then I'd probably just go with driller most of the time though since the drills are relatively fuel efficient and can be used for a lot of applications quickly.

Driller

Engineer can be good if you play smart with sentries and grenades. Platforms can help with most things, BOSCO can dig the rest.

They are all good.

Bosco has enough utility that whatever you choose is viable.

Driller however is probably one of the easier solo classes(a bit of everything for everything).

Hazard level also comes into play. If I just want to beat a mission quickly I'll do haz 1 scout to let me move and get stuff faster while bosco means the scout's low ammo doesn't matter, but at higher difficulties I'd lean towards someone else since a solo scout can get overwhelmed and run out of ammo fairly easily if you're not careful.

I like doing Solo runs with Scout for the handy flares and grappling gun. If not for Scout, then I'd go for Driller - gotta fry those bugs!

Driller. You have fire or ice for primary AoE weaponry and drills to dig your own path to the drop-pod. Otherwise, you have to follow's Molly's tour of the Hoxxes IV Funhouse™

On Hazard 5 I tend towards Gunner for Egg Retrieval and Salvage missions, Scout for Point Extraction and Driller for mining missions.

Engineer is pretty much my second choice for anything other than Mining, sometimes the cave structure just doesn't accommodate you for evac.

For Haz3 and lower it really doesn't matter. All classes should be able to do all missions without much hassle.

Beyond that you'll probably want to use driller or gunner, and in the hardest missions gunner is the best option, with scout falling very far behind the more killing that needs to be done.

Either Driller or Scout. THe Grapple hook is really usefulll getting hight and to the pod whne it drops in a bad position, and the lighting is very usefull.

[Mara Jadewind]

Scout due to flare for better vision and grappling hook for mobility.

[Deja Vu]

All of them are capable of soloing but IMO:

1. Scout. With the exception of salvage missions, scout has no limitations.
2. Driller. He can bunker for hard swarms, and has almost unlimited mobility.
3. Engineer. A bit slow on level clear, but sentries and prox mines make soloing hordes easy.
4. Gunner. Lots of firepower, but the most limited mobility and will some trouble navigating the caves alone.

I play h4/5 with engie solo. Light and 1/2 of the mining is bosco's job. Upgraded your slave with Fast mining and upgraded light and kiss that scout 'utility ' goodbye

This is the talk of someone that doesn't make use of Scout's mobility to their advantage and die to Bulk detonators!

I'd give the Engineer my vote.

Platforms let's you reach any resoucres & traverse pretty much any terrain. They're also a very plentyful tool.
