#Are there any additional rewards for playing a solo game?

I have found playing solo to be significantly more challenging than in a squad (if nothing else, having more firepower against threats, or having one person fire while another's chased, not to even speak to 1v3s in pvp).

Are there any reward benefits for playing solo to "compensate"/balance for the added difficulty? Extra XP? Modifier to coins gained? Exclusive missions with better rewards? Etc? I assumed there weren't, but realized I actually wasn't sure

You don't split loot multiple ways, you don't make as much presence on the map from multiple points of aggro, you don't have to share your kills for kill quests.

The benefits of group play (Res, splitting ammo used, less danger overall) outweigh solo but playing solo is a different game. I play mostly solo, if there was a reward for solo I'd want it to be minor to offset the fact that if we want res we have to spend CAM on beacons. I think it should be something like a flat Credit or mono exfil bonus like 50 mono tokens and 500-1000 credits. Nothing too crazy or advantageous but a nice little "You did it!" reward for playing solo.

Obviously once per map per day or you'd have people chain exfiling to stack easy mono.

Haha, sounds like the main advantage is solo doesn't have to share loot/kills, but at the trade-off of being more challenging for the reasons I stated earlier (plus others)

I added a suggestion comment on this in the other channel, but would love to see a bonus of some kind for solo. Think it would definitely have to be smaller to balance, but something more than self-respect, and/or even a title or something to share your accomplishments might be nice 🙂

Well, at least for me:
When I play solo, I just take a flashlight and a pouch to make the extraction missions. I just run to the objective without a care, mostly drive a vehicle.
If I die, I did't had anything. And I can just join another raid as fast as possible.

When you are in a team, you need to look out for each other. Stay together as a team. Do the missions as a team. When you are in a team, you don't hide or escape from players, you fight them.
This takes time and, you grind slow but safe.

Honestly playing solo should give the player more experience. When you first time kill an enemy type, you get 10 Monolith token, why not make it 15 for solo players?

I added a question to the ask devs channel if they think solo play is unbalanced in any way (difficulty, rewards, etc) and whether they plan to address it somehow.

I tried to link it but think I just quoted it, ah well haha

I know solos often cry that it's harder, but like. The disadvantage of having to fight multiple people is that they outnumber you. You can't "Balance" 2v1 or 3v1 because it's inherently unbalanced.

I just find it kinda silly (Keep in mind I play majority solo) that people are out here being like "It's harder to fight 2v1 and 3v1 please balance that somehow." The thing I struggle the most with is aggressive teams of kitted players. As in, they are roaming the map for pvp only and looking just to kill players so I'm forced to continually run away from any noise because they're clomping towards any and all gunfire.

The super kitted Trios that just bum rush the spawns each lobby is a nightmare when you enter with the free kit.
😅 Hella rewarding on the other hand if you manage to get them with a shotty
