> [@Metaphage](#): > > Can someone explain Solo Mode to me. Like you mean with mentally handicapped bots? cause that would be super annoying. or you mean truely solo. just you doing everything. ? At its most basic level we want the ability to launch the game in a 1 player “private lobby”, rather than then the minimum requirement of 2 players which currently exists. A step up from that would be the equivalent to how it worked in Vermintide 2, where you get to use your other characters as the bots with whatever equipment you have on them and can choose the order in which they spawn in. Another step up would be same as above, but you get to choose if you want the bots or would rather go without, freely select maps, configure modifiers, and overall just more control over what you’re playing. Ideally we would get the “exclusive solo mode” i.e. hosting your own instance as outlined in the Community Update #1 > [@Community Update #1: Pre-Order Beta Hotfix 1.0.6](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/community-update-1-pre-order-beta-hotfix-1-0-6/56182/1): > > Now we are confident in our Dedicated Servers, we would like to take the time and answer those recurring couple of questions that remain; “Can I play Darktide solo?”, “Can I play a private game with one or two of my friends?”. > > _The answers will be Yes, and Yes._ > > We’ve been working on an option to play exclusively in Solo Mode, where you will be hosting locally your own instance with bots. Because you will be hosting the AI and other game systems locally, this will increase performance cost. However, we continue to monitor and improve the performance where we can. Solo play is in its final stages of testing as we fix the last issues that remain. We aim to release this at Launch. If not, a patch shortly after that in December. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/put-solo-in-the-game-devs-you-re-gonna-get-more-sales-like-do-you-not-want-more-money/116296)._
