I wish they'd update the bosco lines so you get stuff like "Bosco, we're rich!" When you ping compressed gold. It still commands him but also is keeping the line

[rudeboyspodcast]

It was great of the devs to make the game a fun experience even if you don't play multiplayer the way the game was intended. Also, we get Bosco. So that's just a huge win for everyone.

Dwarves watching/listening to Minecraft videos while doing solo shifts in the mines is my new headcanon.

Playing long mining expeditions at 3AM solo is an experience. It gives an immersive feeling of dread being alone in large caves knowing that if you take too long you might get overrun

[wruthe]

When the coop game is so good that it‘s actually fun to play solo.

"men wanna be alone...but we don't wanna be by ourselves"
and that's why Bosco is perfect

[anotheramber]

most of my playtime in deep rock is actually playing hazard 3 solo as a way to relax after a hard day, theres something about taking your time and eviscerating bugs without the pressure of the team that i really enjoy

[grum]

I really like solo. There’s less pressure to “perform” well because you don’t have to worry about letting your team down. Just you and Bosco hanging out and mining.

I played solo drg until I got one promotion on each dwarf
Sort of getting used to the game before I got into multiplayer
And I don’t think I can ever go back to it, but I can see why people enjoy it

What I enojoy is playing solo with the hud turned off, it really immerses me into the game and I appreciate the beauty of Hoxxes more

[ayumuchorizo]

100% agree with the feeling of "taking in the environment" during solo. I'm not usually the type to get into the spirit of role-playing but there's just something about DRG that makes me want to press salute while facing Bosco after a tough mission, and then getting a nice cold brew at the bar right after.

It's like multiplayer gives you that chaotic energy of a bustling city while solo feels like taking a relaxing walk in the countryside surrounded with nothing but nature's music. Love this game to bits.

[mrbigglezworth]

Solo DRG really highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each class and why they all compliment each other so well. You really feel the lack of a driller, gunner, engineer, or even scout when they aren't around.

[WipZedKay]

I played solo to get the achievements and after 100 missions solo, it just felt so lonely. The feeling of comradely, cooperation and the mindset of leaving no one behind is what makes this game what it is. The increased enemy spawn rate and the rocks and stones you get after clearing the swarm is what makes the co-op experience fantastic.

But I also understand why people like playing solo. The mission’s pace is completely dictated by yourself and Bosco is so nice to just have around.

[monkewithearrings]

I mostly play with friends and or random in DRG, but sometimes I just wanted to get a assignment done. So I started playing solo a lot more, and I can’t lie, it may be an equal in enjoyment to the coop gameplay.

I’ll be honest, a huge chunk of my playtime in DRG has been done solo.
I have a group of friends that enjoy playing this game, so it’s fun to get together for a session when we can. But life sometimes makes things hard, and we can’t always play. So I often just play solo. Sometimes to work on weekly challenges, or if I want to play a game, but can’t decide on what to play.

And with me just now getting into trying out mods for the game, it gives me more incentive to just try things on my own.

Playing solo also gives me a means to try out new builds. Like before, I rarely ever used Gunner’s Autocannon. But as of late, I’ve been experimenting with it a lot in solo and have been really enjoying it.

And I get not everyone enjoys playing these kinds of games alone. Heck; the game was built with multiplayer in mind. But I’m glad that unlike with so many other Team Shooters, DRG has something substantial for solo play.

[ASpaceOstrich]

I love the way DRG picks enemies from the total enemy pool rather than having all of them spawn on any given mission. I noticed Darktide does the same thing and it adds a lot. Its counteruntuitive because you'd think reduced enemy variety on an individual mission would be a bad thing, but it feels nice. It gives individual missions their own flavour.

[witchinggecko]

I almost exclusively play solo and I love it. There is just one problem I have with it: you just don't really get massive hordes where you can just burst your way through 50 bugs at once with driller or gunner

One of my greatest feats was complicating a Deep dive solo. It felt so good to actually complete it and say I did a Deep Dive solo. Then I got the Achievement for under 45mins. I’m probally going to try the Elite Deep Dive this week as I’ve heard it’s straightforward.
