Mycopunk can be played solo, but it’s uniquely challenging. Designed primarily for 4-player co-op, the game doesn’t balance or promote solo gameplay. Key limitations include:

• No offline mode
• No AI companions
• No enemy scaling for single players

Despite this, solo runs are achievable with proper preparation for heightened difficulty.

Setting Up a Private Lobby

To play solo, follow these steps:

Step 1: Access Socials Menu

From the main hub, open your Inventory and switch to the Socials tab.

Step 2: Join a Crew

Select Join a Crew to adjust matchmaking settings.

Step 3: Set Visibility to Private

Change visibility from Public to Private to prevent matchmaking.

Step 4: Launch Mission

Queue for a mission to start solo—no players will join mid-game.

Solo Challenges

Enemy density and mechanics remain unchanged for solo players:

• Full enemy waves as if playing with four players
• No adjustments to ammo/health pickups
• Instant death when downed (no revival)

You’ll lack essential team synergies like aggro management or objective coverage support.

Solo Survival Strategies

Optimal Class Choices

• Bruiser: Tanky class with crowd control via Hard-Light Shield
• Glider: Mobile damage-dealer with self-healing rockets
• Avoid: Scrapper and Wrangler (reliant on team support)

General Tips

• Lower difficulty until gear/upgrades improve
• Prioritize upgrades for survivability and damage
• Memorize map layouts for spawn points and resource locations
• Exploit verticality—enemies struggle with elevation
