Solo with Bots when?

Been reading forum etc. since launch and still waiting for solo-with-bots to be an option.
Is it allready here or have a missed something?

Not gonna buy the game untill that option exist (and by reading various feedbacks for the last two months time I’m not sure it’s worth buying with all the bugs, missing features, cash shop and way to much RNG’ing).

You can switch the game into private mode and it’s just you and bots. They added it in a bit ago.

The bots aren’t good, but it is solo with bots.

Edit: You may need to be in a Strike team to play privately. I can not confirm at the moment.

It tells me I need to be in a Strike Team to play Private Games.

Admittedly, I haven’t tried to play a private match, I just saw the option to switch to private and assumed it would work.

That really sucks if you have to be in a Strike team to play privately.

Yeah, I wanted to try to complete a penance where I just need a butt load of mobs to mow down. Guess I’ll have to screw over my strike team to get it done :frowning:

True solo mode is not a feature yet. And I assume it’ll take much more time to get it done.
After all, they have said that the AI has to be computed on your PC instead of the server. Which means a lot more development time.

Also the bots are simply useless. I have played many rounds in the middle of the night where no one joined and the bots die extremely easy against crushers and bulwarks. I once watched all 3 of them die to the same crusher. Twice. (yes, I picked them up without killing the crusher just to see what would happen)
The bots in general don’t get any bonuses like they did in VT2 where they had your character equipment if you already leveled that character.

you dont need to do them its only cosmetics, you can choose to ignore it wait till they make them less toxic or just play and if it happens naturally great if not who cares?
they may have left you with bad options but its still a choice.

Nope, you need to have 2 players in a private match to play with bots.

It’d be great if they let us play solo with bots for at least sedition and uprising difficulties, maybe even for malice too. While they fix whatever they need to fix :confused:

No kidding. God forbid they waste server time on a system design for 50,000+ players by letting us play solo when there are barely 10,000 players on.

Seriously, I am not sure it could be something good. You can’t carry medpack, scripts or grim with a bot. Bots spend more time on ground than on their legs.
Bots are really bad. I can understand your concern, but until FS does something for them, well, bots are not a real option.

bots are bad but have you ever considered that people want to play true solo. i will often start up my gfs darktide while she is working just so i can play true solo heresy and damnation. there truly is no other challengle left in this game besides true solo. ive already beat true duo damnation but solo is definitly the most challenging way to play this game.

They don’t have the technology for that these days.

What’s another one? “Brutal expectations”?! Yes?

Sir! Oooh! Sir! Would you please stop being so entitled as a paying customer. How dare you, sir! How! Dare! You!
