Mycopunk Solo Guide

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
