    [Question] Can I enjoy this Game 100% solo?

    Besides all Criticism out there, I'm most curious about this one Question:

    Can I enjoy GRB completely solo if I want to? Will there be enough Content for Solo Players? Real Content, not Daily Quests?

    I'm asking because I recently played Anthem, which of course was soloable, but just plain stupid and annoying.

    I'm asking because for me as an old WoW Veteran the Word "Raid" let's my Spider- Senses ring.

    And finally I'm asking because after meeting infinite loads of Idiots and toxic Kids in GRW (and other Games of course) I tend to do my own Thing nowadays. Just because my Freetime is limited.

    This is very important for me, so if some Ubi Guy could give me some official Facts here that'd be great. Thanks in Advance.

    Greetings

    I played some solo and could even take out larger POIs but you have to really take your time.

    It depends on what and how you want to complete missions. In Wildlands, I would sync snipe, go in alone and have my AI cover me, or make up other challenges for myself. In Breakpoint, playing solo isn't as fun because you don't have to AI teammates there to help. I've tried clearing bases in Breakpoint by only sniping from a distance, but it is incredibly hard because so many enemies are packed close together. Combine that with there being no AI to sync shot with and playing solo stealth becomes difficult. It's reached the point where I snipe as many people as I can, then a body gets discovered and the enemies go on alert, then I wait like five minutes for the enemy AI to return to normal, then repeat. It's just not as fun(Plus it makes stealthing in with just a pistol near impossible). If your goal is just to assault bases on head, guns blazing(which is what I've started doing), then solo should be no problem. Other wise you're gonna need a lot of patience.
    P.S: I know there are sync shot drone, but them being a consumable makes them inconvenient compared to having teammates.

    Yes, it is easy to go solo I played this game for 12 hrs straight and soloed the entire beta. The one thing that you may need more than one person is the behemoth tanks. But I think with some patience and some luck you can solo them. As for everything else it’s easy. And I don’t use the sync shot drone I just shot from a distance and then move in. This isn’t like wildlands if you wanna go loud and cqb then by all means just be smart and protect yourself it can be done easy. I run shotty and ar love the combo. I snipe the red tiger outpost. They are supposed to ha e a raid aspect to the game that will probably require more than one player. But who knows at this point

    Also I’d be happy to help you out in the beta if you are on I don’t plain on getting the full game.

    Agreed...Its basically a hit and run fest. You gotta have alot of patience especially on the extreme difficulties. And if your Hard using limited HUD or no HUD then factor in more patience. Drone sync shot is just a consumable and you have to get eyes on, can't mark target with your main drone. It can be done cause this is how I play but it will soon get old and boring. I mostly just avoid random enemies when on my way to a mission. I got a feeling the side missions are going to be doing stupid favors for factions. Then wash and repeat. Sound familiar...ACO.

    Just 56 hours solo and 2 in a group. Much more fun solo. My own pace, Plan, choice of tactics. No tryhard wannabis who feel 'They' are THE one to get there first and prove how good they are. Please it's Co-op not a bragging competition. So yes Solo is GREAT❤����

    Pretty much what this person said. I play solo and big bases take a very long time especially if you play stealth like me. A lot of planning and a lot of moving around. Most of the patrols are two or 3 man teams so it's very hard to drop them all at once. You can use sync shot but they're consumables so you have to make or buy more. After a while it gets a bit tedious so I just shoot then move go prone camo. Shoot and move. I miss AI teammates a lot.

    agree if you do go coop you need to find someone who plays the same way as you do.. Basically, those who play a lot of PVP are not your friend here as working together is far more beneficial than the hero mate.
