Legitimate H40 Solo

've only found three Havoc 40 solo runs that I would consider legitimate, meaning they don’t rely on bugs, exploits, or edited spawn behavior:

  1. Zealot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyD0OEUiYJA
  2. Hive Scum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_dBKzUSGRM
  3. Zealot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBvPhRU9_Z4 (my personal favorite)

…and that seems to be it.

Most of the other solo runs I’ve come across are either speedruns that break spawn behavior, runs with edited spawns, or other forms of cheese.

If anyone knows of other legitimate solo runs—where a single player actually fights through the volume of enemies that would normally be handled by an entire team—I’d really appreciate it if you could share them.

legitimate… spidey sense
More impressed by @Index

Ok I leave.

Cata true solos never needed to mod this heavy (or at all for that matter) I will say at least they don’t use spawn counters but spidey sense and other UI alerts are too much they’re not bad players but if they are ‘true solo’ good they should complete it without the mods right?

I am not against all mods… but such mods…
I am not impressed at all when I open a video where the guy has indications and help from a lot of tools.

I don’t blame players that use them… I just find it “funny” to label that true solo

They should label that “H40 Solo with mods assistance”.

Alright, one last one then?

this one is impressive, yes.

Another solo by the same player:

Half the videos are using EWC which causes you to deal 2x damage in solo instances.

EWC? What’s that?

extended weapon customization, its been a longstanding issue with the mod since basically release

Are you referring to these videos?

First one is, second one I cant tell at a glance and dont care enough to look into it.

Ainz run is impressive, I don’t think I’d have the time or the mental capacity for a 2 hour run. Maybe one day I’ll try

The other two are good too but it’s Archivum Sycorax so that kinda removes some points

Also for the record, no one edits spawns in their true solo runs, they just run past the initial enemies to stop generating more ambience ahead

idk to me none of these can be considered legitimate
1st is havoc 1.0
2 and 3 are during the time where you could easily dodge all ranged attacks which makes havoc as easy as auric, also stealth
this is legit:

I will stop using it, when they add sound to Pox Bursters.

You’re literally using a mod to avoid needing to do minigames lol

I don’t wanna be rude but calling those runs “not legit” while using that mod + spamming dodge away with needle gun is kinda :v

I’ll eventually try this mod, if it works correctly I’ll finally be able to disable burster outlines due to their sounds failing

xd the other vids use the same mod + 1000 other ones it doesn’t matter to me
but disabling shooters who are the only danger in havoc makes it too easy in my opinion it does not represent a real havoc game

Oof you weren’t kidding.

The first 2 are not legit, 3rd one appears to be ?

GJ Ainz ?

Man, it appears all the best players really are deaf!

Pffft, don’t inflate his ego even more :stuck_out_tongue:

Where’s @Pirx ? Insult @index for me, gotta keep his ego neutral lol

Danger Zone is legit now? Specials tracker is legit? HP bars? SOLVER ?

What does that even mean? “They cheat so I cheat”? I’m confused.

You’re not wrong, but holy holey glass houses, batman…
