Wondering if Arc Raiders has a solo mode? Here’s a breakdown of how solo play works and the different queue types you can choose from.
No, Arc Raiders doesn’t have a solo mode at the moment. However, that doesn’t mean you cannot head in for a solo expedition. By default, the game allows up to three players to form a team. But it is not necessary that each journey to the surface must consist of three players. By taking advantage of the ‘Fill Squad‘ feature, users can also queue in duos or solos. However, the default party size will still be three.
So, even if you head in solo or with a duo, you might end up facing trios in a match. Fortunately, the game attempts to match solos with other solo players for a fairer experience. But as mentioned earlier, it isn’t always the case, and you might encounter trios. Nevertheless, if you want to solo queue, make sure to check out the section below.
How to Solo Queue in Arc Raiders
To solo queue in Arc Raiders, follow these simple steps:
- From the game’s main menu, locate the Play button.
- Just above the button, find the ‘Fill Squad‘ option.
- Select it once to toggle it to Off.
That’s it. This will prevent the game from assigning you random teammates, and you will head to the surface alone. This method works on all platforms, be it on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC. Once Fill Squad is turned off, you will head into a match solo. However, do note that it isn’t guaranteed that you will only face other solo players.
Sure, the chances of facing other solos are higher, but that doesn’t mean you won’t encounter a squad of three players. If you want to duo queue, you can also follow the aforementioned steps. However, make sure to invite your friend to your party before you start matchmaking. To revert it, toggle it to On. This will allow the game to matchmake you with two other players.
That covers just about everything that you need to know about solo queuing in Embark Studios’ latest extraction shooter. The game is designed in such a way that it facilitates solo play easily and is quite forgiving. For those looking to explore the solo experience, a Free Loadout lets you spawn in without risking any of your valuable gear. Hence, make sure to give it a try!
