    Things you must not do in Solo when in a squad, be a marksman and go to the middle of nowhere, you ain't Chris Kyle

      Also, that's a sniper, there aren't snipers in squad, there are designated marksmen. Marksmen are MEMBERS OF A FIRETEAM, not people who wear a diaper and go out in the middle of nowhere waiting in a hide for a week.

    Spent most of 2800 hours solo, making friends along the way with people I meet in game, met so many great people through this game it's almost best to play solo. One thing to note is that ensure you review servers rules so you know what types of squads you can create and what you are allowed to do with them. Each server has their own rules.

    I almost always first join a server solo and friends may be waiting in queue or not. Depending on if I join a fresh start game or one in progress dictates what I will do. If the game has started I will simply fill roles. If there is a bit of armour or helo at main, I make one of those squads. If there is no useful habs up, I make an INF squad. If there are many armour marks ruining FOBs, I will got LAT/HAT/Engi. If the game is fresh and I want to play solo, I will try to grab a spandral, RWS, BRDM or other 1 man-able vech. Beyond this, you can always join a squad and just fill roles they need without engaging much with the squad. Say go rifleman, play on points and if a HAT is screaming for ammo maybe go meet him.

    reasons why I am skeptical about getting the game is being a casual gamer and the team work aspects. I run solo most because most of my friend don’t have the time. So I hop on to just have fun. And when game that require dedicated team work, it sort of a turn off, because you have to think critically and it’s not fun if you are a burden to the team 😭

      I don't have friends who play and I find if you are fine with just working with random people and talking to them Squad can be great fun. Most people wouldn't have a whole squad of real life friends to play with anyway, just a couple, so you'll be talking to and working with randoms all the time anyway.

    Being a Heli pilot means *MANY* solo games. Even with an unlocked squad, people typically want to do more than be a door gunner.
    Just be sure you actually know how to fly *WELL* first. I've seen far too many new heli pilots that crash (or hover for an easy RPG shot) and ruin the logistics of the entire team.

    • @A_Honcho
      @A_Honcho  Před rokem +1

      Can tell a new pilot, because they land when dropping off supplies rather than hovering somewhere safe.
      Once those wheels touch the ground all it takes is 1 LAT to destroy the heli

    I love to run out with a grenadier or combat engineer kit solo and sabotage stuff. It's one hell of a rush when you clear out an enemy nest, cut off logistics, and destroy habs. One thing I wish I had was a way other than a knife to silently take out people to infiltrate into enemy territory better.
    The best feeling you can get is when you route around the enemy and do something that allows your team to advance or capture a point.
    Solo team players are the best players in my opinion.
