first of all there is no such thing has true solo you have 3 bots helping you out lols.
first of all, bots can be disabled
so if you play solo why are you asking fatshark for a solo mode? sounds like BS 2 me.
Why are you here
As someone who has played the solo mod for DT if we got it as is it’s a very easy prediction to make that almost all of the people asking for solo mode would play it for a few hours and then never touch it again.
The only way a solo mode would not be DOA and instead slightly played is if they did a big overhaul and rebalance of the game that is only active in solo mode. But ehhh I just dont see the reality where fs is able to do a good job with that on top of everything else they are struggle bussing with… This is for sure a careful what you wish for kind of thing lol…
bro thinks doing a solo auric is like something inhumanly impossible
the game is easy as is in duos
Please stop trolling the thread.
And Vermintide 2’s Legend and Cataclysm aren’t balanced for squads? Those are also playable, and doable, Solo w/ Bots.
It’s one of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don’t know, man, but it keeps me up at night.
Yeah, I would download the game again if they have solo mode, which would include bots. They just need to implement it and bring bots up to tier. They could make the bots our characters, with what they are equiped. This would be a good idea.
Some of those are repeats, but there is an importance in the repeats. I could care less about hte (13.) one. That does not matter. Everything else is key.
I haven’t played in a year and a few months, uninstalled it. I can’t stand to play the game because it got so bland. I do keep up on the updates, but nothing really seems to get me to come back. They need to do something for me to come back.
I think no one is complaining about the bots simply “being there”, they don’t make much of a difference as they are not really helping though. It would be great if they did and I think no one would complain about better/smarter bots but that’s not the point of this thread.
As pointed out already by others: because they promised.
It does not worsen the experience of players that choose to ignore the ability to play solo at all, it just provides a way for players that want to dive into missions on their own to do just that.
The whole game is balanced around the idea of four players, that’s kind of the point of making a game with (at release) exactly four classes and a squad size of four but that is not the argument you think it is. They already allow you to jump into games with just one other player, so they decided to draw an arbitrary line at two players while, as pointed out, the game is balanced around the expectation of four players.
So why can’t they just get rid of that restriction and allow solo play as well?
On a slightly different note: Payday 3 released a P2P Update a while back allowing players to host their own game sessions without a required connection to a central server meaning they basically rewrote (at least a sizable chunk) of their network architecture to allow for this.
I am not saying that Fatshark should do that as well, I am just saying it is technically possible if you really wanted to.
Leading me to this point: No one is asking them to re-balance the game or tweak enemy spawn rates based on the amount of players in the squad. That would be great, don’t get me wrong, but this thread is about simply allowing one player to start a match with three bots.
All we want is to have a 2 changed to a 1 in order to allow to queue into Solo games. 
Darktide now actually does allow you to do number 7 as of the “Bound by Duty” Update in Q3 2025. Took Fatshark long enough… 
Look up what Solo mode is. Solo mode is one person, allowing a single player to experience a game without other human participants. Just because the bots are there does not mean it is not solo mode, that is part of solo mode as well. You just do not have another human participating in game that you are playing.
Exactly this. We need solo with Bots and OUR bots, OUR other characters just like in Vermintide 2. I want to be able to see my purchased cosmetics and I want the different voice lines associated with other classes. Please hurry up and make this happen FATSHARK.
That’s amazing, I figured I would have seen more cheering about that lol
Yeah, they added the ability to play any Mission that you want via the “Campaigns” Tab in the Mission Board. If the particular Mission that you picked isn’t currently on the Mission Board, you do rely on either having an existing Strike Team or randoms joining into it via Quickplay in order for you to play with others.
Seeing that PROPER Mission Selection is in working order, changing the Player requirement for Private Missions from 2 to 1 would allow for a DE FACTO Solo Mode where you actually earn Crafting Materials and Ordo Dockets. Although, I’ll merely consider such a thing to be a makeshift Solo Mode until Fatshark gives us the ability to add our own Characters to it as Bots.
