Since a solo nomad can be at a disadvantage against groups of nomads (with equal skill) the simplest way to avoid getting killed is to avoid the fight altogether. Second Things Second: Keep Your Eyes on the Horizon The key to playing solo more or less on your own terms is understanding and using the mechanics available to mitigate loss. That means part of playing solo is preparing for losing everything so you’re as ready for it as possible. Its a PVP game so that’s just part of it.


No matter how good you are, how careful you are you will still get killed and have to deal with recovery. Fortunately the smaller walkers are better for solos, anyway, for the most part. You aren’t going to have the larger walkers. Simply put there is a lot of content – stuff on the Tech Tree – that you just aren’t likely to ever get to on your own. This game has mechanics to support solo, small group and casual play but it is also designed to be engaging for large groups (even very large groups) that have an easy time breezing through what is very challenging for a solo player. First Things First: Accepting the Limitations I’m assuming the meta will change as the game and players shift and react to each other. I started putting these ideas together at the end of beta and we’re just barely out of the gate with Early Access.
