Devs solo players wat to have fun too......

[satans_favourite]

as a solo player this game is fun and slightly challenging on difficulty2 but when starting lvl3 missions the game just stops being fun all togather. swarms of 50-100 enemies at the same time, with pretoreans, opressors and worse all comming at the same time, often even the second you leave the drop pod. solo play for this game is apperantly not allowed to be enjoyable.

People solo the higher levels all the time. The challenge is the fun. Play at your skill level and enjoy it.

nobody can survive walking out of a drop pod straight into a nemesis, 3 pretorians i dont know how many grunts and atleast 4 turrets that i could see. so sorry but screw youre condesending play at youre skill level remark.

The game scales to player count, it's not really any harder solo than co-op; so...?

try reading a title SOLO

just did a lvl 4 on my worst class as a warmup. practice the game and unlock new overclocks and things should get easier. also no shame in playing lvl 1-2. thats why you have a choice to choose mission difficulty. Rock and stone!

Yeah, the game scales to player count, including down to one player; plus you get Bosco.

Instead of arguing whether anyone could survive that I'll ask why did you, after coming to this conclusion, step out there?

Because it's way easier to intentionally create a problem of your own design and then deny all personal responsibility.

Some levels have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ drop pod arrivals now. I don't think it was this way in S02, though I might be remembering things wrong.
You have bosco, send him out there. People solo haz4 and haz5 all the time, I found that playing Haz4 solo was easier than playing in some teams, as enemies scale to player count.

Does this happen to you on every single drop, or did you get unlucky once in a game that relies heavily on procedural generation? As I've dropped onto (or close enough to quickly wake up) a bet-c, nemesis and I think (though not 100% sure) also Harold, at the same time. Some drops just suck.
Good news is that you died quickly and didn't waste much time.

Now H3 is too hard and needs to be nerfed... wow, these forums man.

[Frisky]

practice and improve
solo is very consistently beatable all the way up to haz 5 and even the elite dive

I bet it was PE.

Have played solo haz4 and 5 a couple of times and it is survivable with skills and a bit of luck, sometimes you just f up that's life. However if you want you could try different mods to tweak your preferable gameplay. I totally respect if you want to play solo but the haz ratings are there for a reason, and i rather have a game that challenges me and makes me want to progress and get better than everything being easy as pie. I probably wouldn't even play the game as much as i have if it was too easy.

Sorry OP, but the game does not start to become inherently unfair once you reach the middle difficulty. You had one bad drop and that's it. I solo all the time and I can say I've only had drops that hot a few times (typically Rival Presence Point Extracts which sounds exactly like what you're describing) and they were easily survivable with proper movement and positioning.

The game scales the amount of enemies down significantly when playing a solo mission. It also scales their health and damage down. If you find yourself overwhelmed by an entry wave on hazard 3 then you just aren't ready for hazard 3.

The solo missions do get really hard on dangerous and extreme but it's solo and usually with those missions the swarms of enemies just aren't as easy to deal with as it is with four or three teammates with way more firepower and accessibility to different gadgets. If you really want to play solo try using scout for exploration missions like mining morkite and capturing alien eggs, and engineer for defending missions like escort and salvage mules. Feel free to use whatever character feels right but scouts mobility is just insanely useful for avoiding death from hordes of enemies and targeting boss's weak points and engineer's turrets are amazing for extra fire support against medium and low enemies and his platform gun can be upgraded to soften landings from high places which is kinda broken regardless. Gunner is also good for defending because of his ziplines. Driller to me feels more prominent in multiplayer due to his utilities being more helpful with direct assistance.
