Payday 3 is a multiplayer game without an offline option. Starbreeze didn't include a solo mode... or have they? Here is how you play the game without other players in the lobby!
Payday 3 has been released, but there are still a lot of ongoing problems with the server connection (Starbreeze have even had to take down the servers multiple times). So many have been wondering, can we avoid all the server problems and play the game solo?
Answering the question is important! Not only because of the ongoing server problems, but also because you might want to test the maps out before jumping into the lion's den!
Here is everything you need to know to play solo in Payday 3!
Payday 3: How To Find The Solo Option
The solo mode is in the game, but Starbreeze made sure it's hard to be found. To play Payday 3 solo, you need to open an Invite-Only lobby! In this manner, you'll play with bot teammates or people you've invited to your lobby.
This is how you create an Invite-Only lobby:
- Hit the Heist button, to start searching for a mission
- After choosing a mission, start matchmaking
- Instead of a public lobby, you need to however over "Public" and click the arrow
- Change the lobby setting to "Invite Only"
After setting everything up, start matchmaking, and now you're in a private lobby. You can either fill in the free spots with some of your friends, or just start the Heist with the bots.
