There is life, just not for localhost Solo.
They’re now working on a Class and Talent overhaul.
They are now working on releasing the 3rd unannounced feature update BEFORE the announced Solo mode. The 1st was cross-play, and the 2nd was Maelstrom/Auric missions.
Indeed here.
They have to fulfill their promises…
While I also wish for local host solo I gotta break a lance for FS here. Cross play was necessary and it was actually weird it was absent in the first place. And reliably difficult missions was something a large portion of the community very vocally demanded. And the class overhaul was kinda announced before launch when they promised a new class every three months…
Nevertheless their lack of common regarding solo is disappointing.
My personal desires for solo/offline/private mode (however you’d like to refer to it by) is that the bots we get use the character’s we’ve created so that we can customize the equipment and skills of our bots much like in Vermintide. That the bots can be commanded to get map items (like Vermintide) and to defend objectives on maps with spread out defense points while not standing around like a statue. Oh and most importantly: that the psyker bot will not peril themselves because while it is funny when it happens with players it is less funny when the bot standing next to you does it. Those are my wants, take it as you like.
Ill be honest i would MASSIVELY prefer playing with bots alone over players no matter the skill of the bots in question FULL STOP. I would gladly adjust my own personal game difficulty to what i could handle with bots by myself over having to deal with other people but i can say with certainty that they are not working on solo matches with any kind of priority at all right now.
All i can suggest is, if you want a solo mode with bots like i do we are gonna have to be vocal about it. The wants and needs of other areas have been louder reguardless of weather or not they are important or not to the game i will not get into here as that causes the thread to turn pvp quickly.
If we want solo matches with bots we cant be quiet about it or shy about it because right now they dont think it is a priority at all.

Them not caring for their own promises sucks…
Nice. We now know for a fact that they actually swindled us by including Localhosted Solo in their pre-launch marketing.
I don’t think being vocal about it is going to change much. They knowingly scammed us and have done everything in their power to try to memory-hole it.
Update, I am officially requesting a refund over this matter via Steam.
If anyone sees this and is tired of waiting and being kept in the dark, I recommend following suit and requesting a refund too.
Update for the above post. I have received my refund and I consider the matter closed.
I expect I won’t be checking in on this forum or this thread much for the foreseeable future. I’m done with Fatshark.
To anyone who chooses to continue holding out in the hopes that Fatshark may one day deliver Solo Mode as advertised, I wish you good luck.

How many hours did you have in the game?
Bumping cuz this game still needs bots mode
I don’t want to make friends to complete penances, pls solo private mode 
Add bots with your own character just like Vermintide 2. Please Fatshark, its what alot of people want and you said it was coming on release.
mod for that
Game needs solo play, bots other than Standard McDefault vets, AND the ability to actually play it without an active internet connection. VT 1 and 2 have all these in fact I’ve had my internet connect die while playing a game of VT2 by myself with bots and didn’t even notice till I finished the mission and looked in alt tab vs my internet going out last night for 20 minutes and “Nope, not allowed to play, get wrecked nerd”
And if that mod allowed me collect ressources I’d be happy.
Can’t farm or complete penances 
I’m not sure. About 90 to 100 hours I think.
A little bit of necromancy here, but is there actually a way of playing a mission in a solo private game nowadays ?
I’d like to do some penances which have to be played in private lobbies for some reason, and I need to be bothering a friend for that apparently ?
I’d like to simply launch a game with bots and do my thing, is that not an option ?
Nope - and the last time they said something about it, they clarified it wasn‘t their priority.
Sorry pal.
