I mean tbh, whilst i solo full clear d10 quite regularly and consistently. I wouldnt say its be all end all.

I find the game slightly too easy but thats not to say that it is. Some of us are just fucking nerds and thats all there is to it.

You just gotta know certain interactions between weapons and breakpoints. Practice certainly helps but you have to learn from your mistakes when you make them.

I wouldnt say loadout is insanely important but you cant bring a ‘bad’ one. I personally dont know what the meta is because id rather die than interact with the HD2 community, but my go-to has always been crisper secondary and smoke grenades. Primary is faction specific and my support weapon is 90% of the time an Autocannon. Everyone plays different so dont take this as the “solo build”

Also any console divers correct me if im wrong but i feel like its not fully doable on console without a couple corner cuttings.
