I play primarily solo. I kind of suck at PVP so I usually try and stay off the radar as much as possible. I’m still trying to complete missions and upgrades.
Man I hope Activision comes to their senses and continue to support the game. Hands down the best mode COD game mode. Playing solo is fun as hell even now. Keep up the good work bro!
I like playing solo more than playing as a squad. I normally only squad up because I got picked up after being killed, or I need help doing a mission that more or less requires you to rely on other people, which I don't really like. To many people are just PVP focused only.
Hey Phix, as a player I hope into raids every day as a solo. I stopped teaming up over a year ago as I would die constantly resing them and not completing my missions. You’re right the state of DMZ is precarious today, but I still make it phone by switching to new guns or builds. Keep up with your content.
I loved solo's at the start of DMZ, it was a great sandbox type ecosystem for a uber casual like me. But now solos is a quick death (despite requests to team up) followed by revive request purgatory. So I team up with random quads and hope for the best, the few positive interactions I have are still very rewarding and why I keep logging on. That we knew what they had in DMZ and it was lost on Activision continues to make me sad.
I'm from EU... I really miss friendly interactions... Usually as you said, shoot on the first sight, mostly no communication. I play mainly as a solo, so it's kinda lame that currently, when you plea, no one will pick you up.. Don't use glitches. Happened to use koschei glitch only once, cause chinese cheaters were wrecking the server, couldn't make it to the final exfil, and managed to craft stealth sooo yeah, didnt want to really lose it.
I’m like u bro but I don’t take chances don’t trust ‘em til they whole team dead friendly DMZ was awesome but watching the game change and evolve was kinda cool too
Agree 100%. I play solo and I get hunted by fully kitted squads all the time. Without a solo mode in an update, this game is dead. Still some solid dudes playing that won’t rape a solo but a lot of toxic players too that just ruin the game when it’s 4v1
Playing as a solo 99% of the time I’ll say solos develop a unique set of evasion skills. It revolves around a stealth vest and a scuba mask. I’ve literally listened to hunt squads get so annoyed at not being able to find me. One of my favorites is taking a vehicle to the underground tunnel beneath Zaya and listening to the huge gunfight that breaks out topside between the hunt squad and the insane AI. Or even driving straight into another team while being hunted and listening to carnage that follows.
I have to admit, me and my buddies tried what you, Westie and Stodeh did and block Koschei entrances. We died the first time but won our second time. The salty comms of the other team were so delicious! 😂 Even though we died to the first team, we held them off long enough to where they couldn’t get out in time so maybe we’re 1 for 1.5?
I play solo when i want to get any missions/progress/ PVE material done, because PUGs only want PVP. I only squad up when Im fully geared and expecting to have to fight off the bat. I dont have any regular teammates, so at the mercy of PUGs. Its kind of nice having both solo and team options for varying my play style for the small amount of time I can play the game. I do however agree with you Phix, solo is a different experience now. I find usually the best convos happen when one party is dead and pleading, as opposed to seeing each other both alive.
I only play solos and it's exponentially harder than before. Pre-made platoons rushing spawns with RGL's is at epidemic levels...I can always get 2 or 3, but never the 4th...
I'm a Koeshi guy. I go there to re-up/ Damascus tags. I'm starting to go solo now because when I join with Randoms and go to koeshi, they get mad.... So solo it is
Currently it could not be easier to play Ashika solo. The main population dies at fortress and the 2 exfills are mostly ghosted. I had several final exfills where no one was on the map anymore. Of course you have to fight one or the other time but overall Ashika (at least) became easier if you do just missions and want to avoid PvP. Al Masrah became more hostile but due to the size of the map this is not an issue for a solo. Don't want to say it but in wooooorst case you can glitch out in Koshe and call it a day....
@dirtyharry20000 that's true, I survived being hunted as a solo by having a scuba mask and swimming out to the rock next to the out of bounds. Luckily they weren't prepared for a water fight. I engaged them as they approached on jetski.
@@allan513 good point. I also found that you have a pretty good advantage when fighting back in the water especially with a scuba mask. Coming up somewhere and having the first shots and diving back drives them crazy 😂 Actually, just to share a story. I was hunted by a squad (huntsquad with the red circle) across the map. They picked up UAVs from all boxes and I guess bought it where they could. I evaded them on Ashika for at least 3 UAVs. Last one I they pinned me down in a corner of the map and I was near red border. Since I felt that I will die any way a swam across the red line and killed myself. To hear the cursing chat afterwards was very satisfying despite the loss 😁
I play both solo and squad. I am trending towards solo, for a variety of reasons. One specific reason is a result of players (teammates) spawning, and moving to engage PVP. I've told teammates on several occasions that I need to kit up before engaging decisively, to which they've said "that's how we kit up". In my view, that makes most of the DMZ experience difficult, because most of the time is spent trying to survive. It certainly challenges one's ability to do missions. Flying solo at least gives me control of offensive engagements.
I play solo to regain. It's less stressful to loot for stealth vest barter without 2 teammates that just want to PvP and most likely die. Once all my operators are kitted, I squad fill to have some fun.
I tried playing in squads but more times than not the squads either don't have a mic, or just do what they want. None want to do missions or upgrades anymore and that's what I'm trying to do so now I only play solo. As a casual player that only gets like 1 day a week if I'm lucky to play, Its crazy trying to get anything done. But I take the punishment and keep trying. DMZ is my favorite and don't want to stop no matter how hard it gets.
Mostly if I'm not in a squad with friends of mine then I run solo. I will admit that I've been playing mostly MW3 multiplayer to finish the interstellar camp grind before the next Black Ops game. I keep hearing rumor that they might bring DMZ to Black Ops. I hope it's true because it's still the best mode.
I do a lot of solo raids. A lot of squads I go in with don't have mics oflr just run off and do their own thing. Communication has gone down and now saying "friendly, friendly, friendly" gets you killed faster than running away And I notice that I can take final exfil without much resistance too. I used to do it if I had a squad, and even theb maybe once or twice out of every 5 to 10 times. Now I can take it solo 8 or 9 times out of ten
Hey Phixate! Hope you are doing well! Thank you for sharing such great content for DMZ. I really enjoy your streams and videos very much. 😊 I play mostly solo and I find that while solo DMZ is challenging I do like the fact that I have more freedom to do what I want versus what random squad fill wants to do. Plus I find it more peaceful playing solo because sometimes you never know what kind of squad fill you will get. Thank you again and I will catch you in your next stream. 😊
I recently started playing solo. Often, it's difficult to find teammates with common objectives. I go in solo to work on finding items for upgrades and the daily missions.
Always solo for me if you go in with a squad they always want to PvP and you just end up getting slaughtered. Sometimes if I go in after dying with no gear I go straight to kosch, normally you can gear up in there plus it’s easy to make a vest aswell. But the state it’s in is terrible such a shame.
Roughly 60/40 leaning toward solo. I do a lot of solo regain runs in Al Maz, Vondel or Koschei and occasionally put on missions, doing odds and ends. I put on filled squad for entertainment and helping people with missions and regains. I still find that running with my regulars is better for PVP, though we've picked up some fourths who have been clutch later in the raid. The game mode is not dead yet!
I’ve been playing DMZ for awhile I hardly if ever load in solo…going in alone not going to end well..I have played with randoms what will see a solo and we push him I always send a invite before my team kills them
Play with a fellow DMZ bud when I can but mostly solo because rando's are a nightmare these days. Met too many Koschei glitchers who come in with vests, RGL's, UAV's etc., and no skill but are so overpowered that a slightly underpowered team gets beaten quite easily. Final exfils are especially bad if you don't have an RGL. I will say I like the idea of blocking the Koschei entrances especially the one downtown. Do it as often as I can because, well, screw 'em!!!
Used to play solo. Now we all jump in Ashika to see who can get the most kills. Didn't see appeal to it at first but it's a lot of fun. Completed everything I can, if there was more missions injected into the game would be more chilled I think.
I stream and record Solo DMZ videos and since coming back after a long break I completely echo everything you said in the intro. I was trying to get a 10 Exfil streak as solo and I keep getting to 6-7 then getting absolutely doomed by other players. Oh well!
I play almost exclusely DMZ solo. Getting through matches has become increasingly difficult. You have teams of three and four hunting solo players and any appeals to revive when it's a team of three is at best a 50-50 proposition. Getting killed in matches is going to happen. I don't care how good you are or think you are. Sometimes, you can do everything "right" and just happen to turn the wrong corner and wham. Nature of the beast. I suggest not getting hng up on "stuff" and play to enjoy the game. If one map is not working for you, there are three others. The map I avoid solo is Ashika. Too many rude juvéniles who don't know how to shut up and have NO respect.
I’ve never understood why people feel the need to shoot a helicopter not attacking them. Near the beginning of the raid you went to repair and refuel at the small gas station in Al Sharim pass. Somebody was there and immediately started shooting your helicopter. You had made no hostile act, but yet they started shooting. There was already too much damage so you had to jump out. What a waste. When I see people just start shooting no matter what the helicopter is doing, it tells me that that person conducts zero critical thinking during the game. Who is in the helicopter? How many are in the helicopter? Are they hostile? Are they friendly? Do they even know I’m here? I wonder what they are working on?
I've had to get good in order to stay alive after the initial spawn rushes. Most lobbies I get in are cleared before the timer is halfway up. Stay alive by moving around 😅
I play both depending on my mood and what I'm trying to accomplish. If I'm trying to find certain loot to unlock things it is often easier to do as a solo so I'm not slowing my team down "grazing" for loot.
Solo only for me . Set pace of your game. If do get picked up i have found there is always 1 gunho john wayne that wants to lead you to insta death.. most squads good at hunting killing solos but suk at slugging it out with another team
Honestly to me out gets worse and worse, sweaty players won't let any new guys have the experience negate they spawn rush, sweat solo players and camp x fills
Played 4 games on Vondel last night, made it out once! 3 games died to cheats, 1 using under barrel glitch, one using the most obvious aim bot I’ve ever seen. Literally head shot when I’m 30ft under water! The kill cam was so obvious! 3rd was wall hacking, he runs straight to me and my team mates when we were inside a building, we were in different areas of the building and he went straight to each one of us! EU servers are soooo bad right now!
Well I run with in total, six teams including the original squad. Shout out to Chevy, Cheekz, Blue, and Stick. Usually run with random when steaming nor solo and revive other solos in the server. Been trying to run into you 😜 ayyy Happy Hunting
I play solo generally. Occasionally with one buddy of mine. Actually my squad was wiped out by phix some time ago. And one of my squad was pretty rude to phix and his team. That’s why I prefer running solo. I run into hunt squads and 3 and 4 man squads, and a good amount is pretty cool. They won’t attack a solo. But there is far more who will shoot regardless. Shocking isn’t it. Toxic players.
I prefer to play solo. While i do enjoy some pvp actuon, I get a bigger charge out of sneaking around the kill squads and out smarting them to a successful extraction!
I don’t think solo is totally dead. I still go in solo quite often to get missions and upgrades done for myself. Currently level 631. I like doing missions solo. Keeps the blood going. Also COD wont let us use wang as a clan tag anymore so I came up with dwang for “dang what a nice guy”. Haven’t seen anyone use it yet so feels like I’m the only one so far. Hope it catches.
I play solo most of the time I have a player that I'll raid with she's a good teammate anyway you have help me so much over the years with play style Gun builds etc. Thanks for everything hopefully you do a DMZ stream soon be safe thanks for what you do ✌️
Imagine Koschei Complex being the safest place at DMZ now There are nearly no players there now, and bots can't kill you if you do everything right and don't rush
I either play solo or with a friend. Usually doing missions and looting for the different upgrades. Overall, we like the DMZ concept very much - The PVE is great and the PVP is adding even more thrill and excitement to the entire experience. But the frustrations begin when we have complete sessions where we're being relentlessly hunted by others (sometimes across the entire map!) and unable to complete a single objective. @Phixate, did it ever occur to you that you are a part of the problem?? You say that players nowadays are less friendly and has a 'kill-on-sight' mindset, yet you literally just go about hunting and killing (on sight) other players! Thus, making casual players who're trying to enjoy the game, the kind of players you don't wish to see... Even a downed player who's "pleading" for help, a lot of times, is a bait for other players to step into the "predator's" nest. It's, basically, evolution - The top predators (like you) are forcing those at the bottom of the food chain to either go extinct (and leave the DMZ for good) or adapt to the current state of the game. The DMZ might evolve into a tougher environment which will produce and host better players and tactics, or it will kill the DMZ entirely... You might not like the outcome but, please, acknowledge that you (and others like you) are responsible.
Just tried it solo because of your last video showing you trying to help solos and yes it was just how i remembered it and why i haven't logged into DMZ in over 6 months. A rogue system would have solved this. Been saying this but no one thinks so. Aaaaaaaand here we are lol.
If i can suggest something, it's that if content creators really like a specific game mode and want it to stay, then it would be in their best interest to create content that devs can take in towards improvement vs have devs create updates that just cater to content creators (who spend all day playing and therefore ahead of a natural progression) that ultimately result in alienating casual players and thus ending support. There are a few content creators that did this but the majority was just having fun and riding the wave of views that was short sighted and eventually ended.
I'm new to the console/pc space and only ever played BR games on Mobile. Been thinking of trying DMZ out but feel intimidated not knowing what to expect
It'd be nice if some players just downed an let them get up an run off. Maybe catch them at the last exfile. Often played w/ teams but solo in b21 was good creeping around surprising last team at the end and using the field upgrade tact camera.
I switch. I play solo alot but some times I just wanna help Randoms find secrets and stuff. Like I showed someone the secret room in vondel and they were blown away. I just remember when I was new I played one game and got destroyed and said nope. Cause I hate warzone I hate royals in general but dmz is more. It's got so much going on then one dimensional warzone pvp.
Nah the solos come in with a team then run off and do their own thing. Never reviving anyone or helping out. Yet somehow they always have enough for a personal and buy their way out……..
play mostly solo, miss interacting with players, thats when you can find `english` speaking, or just `speaking` players. do also enjoy getting on with friends to play but mostly solo, AI are off the scale sometimes, and i still have missions to do, even if its just the dailys
I pushed a fight as a solo today. Got 1 kill and they picked me up to finish fighting another team. Finished my mission to infil solo kill 3 and exfil with 100k 😂
i play both and solo can still be fun but not like the old days of zero to hero. too many 4 man toxics not even looting just killing and running off. the game has lost its edge although i still play its like an addiction
The game isn't fun at the moment. As soon as I spawn in I'm running for my life, hiding from everyone and being DMZ's Houdini. I lost count of the squads I've out-maneuvered and outrun. I'd PvP more but my ping is not great so it's only solos that shoot at me unprovoked and maybe duos for opportunistic kills if I can separate them. I'm tired of the spawn rushers. I'm tired of the campers. I'm tired of the hunt squads in hummers and helis. I'm tired of the toxicity. What would be my solution? It would be nice if they brought back all spawns from every season of DMZ, randomized every game. That would at least deal with the spawn rushers but not the glitchers who will be using a UAV every two minutes until they can hunt you down. Other than that, bring the Active zones back would throw real spanners in the works and give the griefers a serious dilemma of where to go, leaving the rest of us in (relative) peace.
Depends on your mission. A few things that are a must are a stealth vest and a scuba mask. You can pretty much avoid all detection with those items. If you have to make a stealth vest always know what other spawn points are most likely to rush you at the start of a raid and also where the nearest locations of computers are to search for encrypted items. Obviously some spawn points are better than others.
No. Just dmz is. It's getting old tbh. Can't keep dickriding it. Wait for a new one. This beta is nothing but a ticking time bomb. Glitch as fuck, bots are in fucking sane, players have lost touch with themselves and progression is no more. Just give it up fellas lol. Maybe they'll make a new one. Maybe not. Appreciate it for what it was.
Take youre best AR and test it on fire range right after you log in to the game, shot the 3 plated dummie as many times you need to make it go down, count the shots. Do a raid with that gun and when you return to the lobby , test it again on the fire range, same as before. I promise you that you will be a little pissed of, now all guns uses 2 extra shots to down the dummie. Test it, i have no idea why this is happening. On certain guns it is up to 25% weaker after the first raid. If anyone know how to make activision aware of this, you should. This is just stupid, i fought hard to get my gun strong and suddenly it 20% weaker. pissed off now. Got to log of and on again in between every raid to get the settings back to how it should be.
I tried to play this yesterday solo and my issue is not one mentioned here. Why does it seem so slow compared to warzone as far as movement goes? The game feels like a last gen game maybe its supposed too? I will admit I am new to DMZ but is there a reason it feels so sluggish. Even in your video it looks graphically better and you seem to move fast. And no its not my hardware definitely not. Every other mode is fine. I love the idea of DMZ and would like to play it more

Too many rude juvéniles who don't know how to shut up and have NO respect.
I’ve never understood why people feel the need to shoot a helicopter not attacking them. Near the beginning of the raid you went to repair and refuel at the small gas station in Al Sharim pass. Somebody was there and immediately started shooting your helicopter. You had made no hostile act, but yet they started shooting. There was already too much damage so you had to jump out. What a waste. When I see people just start shooting no matter what the helicopter is doing, it tells me that that person conducts zero critical thinking during the game. Who is in the helicopter? How many are in the helicopter? Are they hostile? Are they friendly? Do they even know I’m here? I wonder what they are working on?
I've had to get good in order to stay alive after the initial spawn rushes. Most lobbies I get in are cleared before the timer is halfway up. Stay alive by moving around 😅
I play both depending on my mood and what I'm trying to accomplish. If I'm trying to find certain loot to unlock things it is often easier to do as a solo so I'm not slowing my team down "grazing" for loot.
DMZ is dying for solos and teams ! The bugs and glitches and lag issues and cheats wrecked the game for everyone
I usually play with randoms then end up solo cause they leave or die lol Solo is still fun tho. Thanks for another good vid phixate
I try to play more solo now because I don't trust random player squad fill 😂
I play with randoms all the time. I’m a chatty Kathy though. I’m always starting conversations with the ppl I’m slaying
I do both. Play as solo when mates not on and with mates. Glitching has taken over. I personally know I'm doing right by not doing it.
Solo only for me . Set pace of your game. If do get picked up i have found there is always 1 gunho john wayne that wants to lead you to insta death.. most squads good at hunting killing solos but suk at slugging it out with another team
Honestly to me out gets worse and worse, sweaty players won't let any new guys have the experience negate they spawn rush, sweat solo players and camp x fills
More people are fun , Ik that
Also I’m glad someone uses the spotter scope
I play mostly solo and its a bitch nowadays. seems like I'm constantly being chased by teams popping hunt squads.
I always start out solo. Then usually get killed by a player or sometimes AI. And just hope I get picked up.
Played 4 games on Vondel last night, made it out once! 3 games died to cheats, 1 using under barrel glitch, one using the most obvious aim bot I’ve ever seen. Literally head shot when I’m 30ft under water! The kill cam was so obvious! 3rd was wall hacking, he runs straight to me and my team mates when we were inside a building, we were in different areas of the building and he went straight to each one of us!
EU servers are soooo bad right now!
Well I run with in total, six teams including the original squad. Shout out to Chevy, Cheekz, Blue, and Stick. Usually run with random when steaming nor solo and revive other solos in the server. Been trying to run into you 😜 ayyy Happy Hunting
I’ve been playing solo since day one it’s very rare I squad fill with random people
Maybe the entrance was blocked by a blown vehicle HAHAHA :D
I play solo generally. Occasionally with one buddy of mine. Actually my squad was wiped out by phix some time ago. And one of my squad was pretty rude to phix and his team. That’s why I prefer running solo. I run into hunt squads and 3 and 4 man squads, and a good amount is pretty cool. They won’t attack a solo. But there is far more who will shoot regardless. Shocking isn’t it. Toxic players.
Im seeing more solo player atm more than ever on us servers
I prefer to play solo. While i do enjoy some pvp actuon, I get a bigger charge out of sneaking around the kill squads and out smarting them to a successful extraction!
I used to play solo when I didn't have guys on to squad up with. Now I take my chance with randoms because SOMETIMES they are helpful lmao!
I like playing dmz solo im not very good but getting chased by players is fun ..❤
I don’t think solo is totally dead. I still go in solo quite often to get missions and upgrades done for myself. Currently level 631. I like doing missions solo. Keeps the blood going. Also COD wont let us use wang as a clan tag anymore so I came up with dwang for “dang what a nice guy”. Haven’t seen anyone use it yet so feels like I’m the only one so far. Hope it catches.
Have they fixed that infernal lag issue yet? That's my biggest barrier.
Always solo, always outnumbered, never a problem.
I play solo most of the time I have a player that I'll raid with she's a good teammate anyway you have help me so much over the years with play style Gun builds etc. Thanks for everything hopefully you do a DMZ stream soon be safe thanks for what you do ✌️
Imagine Koschei Complex being the safest place at DMZ now
There are nearly no players there now, and bots can't kill you if you do everything right and don't rush
Still enjoy my solo rounds and had great rounds with pleading players after the dead squad was gone
I always go in solo
I either play solo or with a friend. Usually doing missions and looting for the different upgrades.
Overall, we like the DMZ concept very much - The PVE is great and the PVP is adding even more thrill and excitement to the entire experience.
But the frustrations begin when we have complete sessions where we're being relentlessly hunted by others (sometimes across the entire map!) and unable to complete a single objective.
@Phixate, did it ever occur to you that you are a part of the problem??
You say that players nowadays are less friendly and has a 'kill-on-sight' mindset, yet you literally just go about hunting and killing (on sight) other players!
Thus, making casual players who're trying to enjoy the game, the kind of players you don't wish to see...
Even a downed player who's "pleading" for help, a lot of times, is a bait for other players to step into the "predator's" nest.
It's, basically, evolution - The top predators (like you) are forcing those at the bottom of the food chain to either go extinct (and leave the DMZ for good) or adapt to the current state of the game.
The DMZ might evolve into a tougher environment which will produce and host better players and tactics, or it will kill the DMZ entirely...
You might not like the outcome but, please, acknowledge that you (and others like you) are responsible.
Its surviving....nothing else. But i still have fun
Still loving the DMZ videos keep it up Phix
Just tried it solo because of your last video showing you trying to help solos and yes it was just how i remembered it and why i haven't logged into DMZ in over 6 months.
A rogue system would have solved this. Been saying this but no one thinks so. Aaaaaaaand here we are lol.
If i can suggest something, it's that if content creators really like a specific game mode and want it to stay, then it would be in their best interest to create content that devs can take in towards improvement vs have devs create updates that just cater to content creators (who spend all day playing and therefore ahead of a natural progression) that ultimately result in alienating casual players and thus ending support.
There are a few content creators that did this but the majority was just having fun and riding the wave of views that was short sighted and eventually ended.
I'm new to the console/pc space and only ever played BR games on Mobile. Been thinking of trying DMZ out but feel intimidated not knowing what to expect
It'd be nice if some players just downed an let them get up an run off. Maybe catch them at the last exfile. Often played w/ teams but solo in b21 was good creeping around surprising last team at the end and using the field upgrade tact camera.
I enjoyed DMZ. It was my favorite game mode but as of late, I don’t find myself queuing up for a raid.
I switch. I play solo alot but some times I just wanna help Randoms find secrets and stuff. Like I showed someone the secret room in vondel and they were blown away. I just remember when I was new I played one game and got destroyed and said nope. Cause I hate warzone I hate royals in general but dmz is more. It's got so much going on then one dimensional warzone pvp.
Nah the solos come in with a team then run off and do their own thing.
Never reviving anyone or helping out. Yet somehow they always have enough for a personal and buy their way out……..
Hunt squads n cheaters have killed it. Just played five games on EU n just died five times to hunt squads n cheaters while attempting missions.
I always going solo.
I'd rather join a squad than go in with squad fill
Yeah, the games in a bad state rn. It's really annoying that it won't get anymore support. I remember running dmz every day.
I play solo primarily
Gonna continue playing dmz until delta force hawk ops comes out. There extraction game is good
play mostly solo, miss interacting with players, thats when you can find `english` speaking, or just `speaking` players. do also enjoy getting on with friends to play but mostly solo, AI are off the scale sometimes, and i still have missions to do, even if its just the dailys
Bro I really miss the Cycle days
I pushed a fight as a solo today. Got 1 kill and they picked me up to finish fighting another team. Finished my mission to infil solo kill 3 and exfil with 100k 😂
Solo player but stopped playing like two months ago and was already declining. I like the pve side more than the pvp and the game was no longer fun.
i play both and solo can still be fun but not like the old days of zero to hero. too many 4 man toxics not even looting just killing and running off. the game has lost its edge although i still play its like an addiction
💪💪💪😎🇬🇧LEGEND PHIXATE
Petition to remove the spotter scope, makes ghillie suits irrelevant lol
I play solo and lately it's always a ķill squad getting me😂
I've been trying to do the serpentine camo solo. Yeah, not fun and impossible
To the text below, chest shots ok. Damage tanks by almost 25%
The game isn't fun at the moment. As soon as I spawn in I'm running for my life, hiding from everyone and being DMZ's Houdini. I lost count of the squads I've out-maneuvered and outrun. I'd PvP more but my ping is not great so it's only solos that shoot at me unprovoked and maybe duos for opportunistic kills if I can separate them. I'm tired of the spawn rushers. I'm tired of the campers. I'm tired of the hunt squads in hummers and helis. I'm tired of the toxicity.
What would be my solution? It would be nice if they brought back all spawns from every season of DMZ, randomized every game. That would at least deal with the spawn rushers but not the glitchers who will be using a UAV every two minutes until they can hunt you down. Other than that, bring the Active zones back would throw real spanners in the works and give the griefers a serious dilemma of where to go, leaving the rest of us in (relative) peace.
Any tips for solo play mission grinding. Loadouts, lethal and tactical, and how can I play to stay off the radar
Depends on your mission. A few things that are a must are a stealth vest and a scuba mask. You can pretty much avoid all detection with those items. If you have to make a stealth vest always know what other spawn points are most likely to rush you at the start of a raid and also where the nearest locations of computers are to search for encrypted items. Obviously some spawn points are better than others.
Mainly solo and yerr it got hard out here for solo's
No. Just dmz is. It's getting old tbh. Can't keep dickriding it. Wait for a new one. This beta is nothing but a ticking time bomb. Glitch as fuck, bots are in fucking sane, players have lost touch with themselves and progression is no more. Just give it up fellas lol. Maybe they'll make a new one. Maybe not. Appreciate it for what it was.
Main,y solo doing weekly and dailies
Solo is the way to go
Squads, all they wanna do is Hunt
Me (To the Hunters): Play Warzone
Bro
Is solo dead ? *Me standing there* am I a joke to you ?
Just dropped 19 kills solo,more easy then playing with randoms...
Take youre best AR and test it on fire range right after you log in to the game, shot the 3 plated dummie as many times you need to make it go down, count the shots. Do a raid with that gun and when you return to the lobby , test it again on the fire range, same as before. I promise you that you will be a little pissed of, now all guns uses 2 extra shots to down the dummie. Test it, i have no idea why this is happening. On certain guns it is up to 25% weaker after the first raid. If anyone know how to make activision aware of this, you should. This is just stupid, i fought hard to get my gun strong and suddenly it 20% weaker. pissed off now. Got to log of and on again in between every raid to get the settings back to how it should be.
Never!
Good stuff keep it up bro!
I tried to play this yesterday solo and my issue is not one mentioned here. Why does it seem so slow compared to warzone as far as movement goes? The game feels like a last gen game maybe its supposed too? I will admit I am new to DMZ but is there a reason it feels so sluggish. Even in your video it looks graphically better and you seem to move fast. And no its not my hardware definitely not. Every other mode is fine. I love the idea of DMZ and would like to play it more
Is the m13c any good? You seem to ise it allot
Solo baby all the way
