How is it playing solo?

[Lucyfar]

I know the game is amazing fun with friends but my friends can't buy the game (too expensive in Brazil)

So i'll prolly have to play alone with random people

Does anyone that plays alone can share your experience with me please?

Even the hardest difficulty is doable with randoms so go for it!

Till difficulty 5, it's like a breeze. After 7, it's pretty much Metalgear's sneak mission.

i've had a pretty good experience overall playing with randoms, but I've not fought on the higher difficulties beyond level 4 (Hard), to get the most out of the game, try seeing if you can do in game voice comm's, you might make some new in game friends that you'll be able to run with.

Even if you don't, the extra communication will go a long ways towards helping you and the randoms you run with complete the mission.

Solo is really fun if you like a more Ghost Recon/MGS experience, a successful solo in higher difficulties is way more stealth than action. So mileage may very depending on taste. but jumping in with PUGs is what the games built for so don't be afraid to just hit quick play!

How's the in-game voice system? is it good? is it optional or mandatory?

It's great. You just sneak on higher difficulties mgs style near objectives.

the in game VOIP isnt bad though there is also text chat.

It ranges from awesome fun to an insufferable slog depending on who you get

did helldive solo, got almost all of the difficult achievements solo like only using a pistol/strategem on extreme or higher

When I started playing the game I loved solo missions as you got to experience the game at full stress level. After playing with friends however, I can't bring myself to play solo anymore as it is just a chore. With 4 decent people, even Helldiver difficulty is pretty okay. Alone, it's just a horror. Collecting samples, doing objectives, all manageable solo but sooo much easier and less stressful with a team. So is solo fun? For a few hours maybe. But the game is way harder and thus more stressful.
Playing with randos is a mixed bag. You either get solo pros or just some guy who wants to blow things up. Can be fun. But as long as you are not the host there is a chance you will get kicked for no apparent reason.
