playing solo expeditions feels insanely hard

[Nemi]

So I play solo sometimes when my friends are busy with other stuff and I have to say solo expeditions are so hard compared to being in a duo or 3 man squad as all the mobs are on you and no one else, they might have less health but it really is the exact same number of mobs coming at you, a single person. Have you ever had a brood mother boss dog boss and around 6-10 alphas coming at you at once... its insane

if you're weak and do nothing ofc solo is gonna be pain in @ss.
search youtube for some builds if you cant decide that you want to use

I'm at CT15. I can complete only one of the instances with "gold",

Notice the warning "this content is designed for groups!" above "launch" button.

I guess the devs didn't even try to balance expeditions for single player. Just reduced amount of NPCs but obviously not enough to make the difficulty acceptable for a Joe Average. Also there is a steep difficulty wall on CT9-10.

There is the one single imba build for every class which can easily solo any expedition. Just look it up online.

I have my build thanks, but I do not have all pieces of gear for it, I need legendary's but they never seem to drop so I am stuck on tier 12 farming for silver or gold and 99% of the time I get silver because there is the exact same amount of mobs coming at me in my solo game as there is in a 3 squad group... and no idea what you are implying by "if you're weak and do nothing ofc solo is gonna be pain in @ss."

But until you are there it will take lots of hours. I am 50h into the game, probaly around 15-20h only expeditions and I still can`t clear T14 solo even with a techni blighted build. You need either incredible luck or dozens of hours farming for perfect gear.

I really do not understand why people say this, as you need the gear for these meta builds still to work and legendary's even at rank tier 12 only have a 10% chance to drop on gold and 5% on silver and it's really hard to get gold ever solo

They will become more doable the better your gear/builds are.

Probably the thing I dislike the most about Coop and I think they didnt put too much thought on is reviving, in a group of 3, if one goes down, there is a chance you can revive him, however, if 2 go down, try reviving someone when you have 16 Alpha Perforo, 2 Brood Mothers, and 1 Behemoth chasing you, is literally impossible, as soon as you stop to revive they will jump on you and push y ou away. The worst part is that, for that player, killing so many enemies with so much health would be really hard, so in many cases is a game over, unless you still have your revive of course.

I dont even know how they could address this tbh, monsters are just very aggressive, maybe if you could revive someone as you are running by without stopping

It actually feels really bad for the person who is trying to revive you since you know he will die because of you

The answer is simple though, just dont die!

Because these people managed to get into T15 and farmed good gear while it still was a bit easier. And now they think everyone else can do it that easily too...

You are complaining about either being bad, about having no idea how to build or you are complaining about having to play the game to improve gear.
I'm not sure what the intention here is but next time try to find your own mistakes instead of blaming others for it.

[Infrasound]

things can only hit you so you roll a lot to get away (as a pyro at least)... you can get gang banged too pretty often on expeditions. If there is 1 or 2 more people you get hit way less so its a lot less intense.

Thats not true, I lost all my gear over 1 week ago on my Trickster, so when I levelled up my Techno I had only 1 or 2 lego left, slowly got a good few of them by doing lower level expeditions, instead of going for the highest ones I would just focus on those 1 or 2 levels below, took a while but got a good few legos that help with my build, but most of the good stuff I got it when I reached T14/15.

This didnt happen in 20 minutes, I spend days farming for the perfect gear... still missing my perfect gloves

Also I was struggling to do T15s with my Trickster because I was lacking of a proper build/gear, but with my Techno it feel very balanced and easier compared to my previous experienced pre nerf.

You don't need ALL the mods. I stopped playing before i could farm out the tier 3 legendary mods which are "required" to these builds. But still shredding everything like butter in Tier12 expeditions. And you will have almost every tier 2 mod toll you reach the end of the story.

You can even rush the story on WT1.
You only need purple item drops. For the mods. You can upgrade everything from there as you want.

I played right after patch and found a amber helmet, which gives me insane item mod and with it finally I was able to complete all gold T15, except eye.

there is zero legendaries in my build, only a secondary rifle to get some fun around when I lose volcanic bullets.
you can insta get meta build and boost it step by step, so if you're stuck at T12 - no way you're using real build
