Yes, i'd just do a little research on some solo runs for your experience to have a better flow, like for instance regain locations and what spots on the map to avoid due to increased AI.
It's really not. I suck at it but a few things make it much more possible: Run a silencer if you have one on a weapon. Only engage NPCs for a short time. Once they start draining your plates too much or pushing you close to death just disengage and leave. They will de-aggro from you eventually. Don't push into an exfil too quickly as there might be players camping the exfil. I've found the longer I stay on the map the more difficult the exfil will be.
Attempting to solo in DMZ these days is very difficult, especially since the majority of latter faction tier missions require PVP and once you're done missions, PVP seems to be the only enjoyment out of it, turning the entire area more tense in every situation.
That's why I feel it should matchmake by missions completed. It's no fun doing those tier 1 missions when you've got a lobby filled with people doing those pvp missions.
Aculite has a voice made for baseball. I can imagine driving and listening to Aculite over my radio commentating a baseball game. Ahh how calming and exciting that would be
Welcome to the pain of Solo DMZ Aculite. It can definitely be a challenge, but also is very rewarding. I've played solo basically since the game mode came out, and find it far better than going in with a bunch of randoms. Bring us more Aculite!
"Seems like solo is more rewarding.." I guess it depends at what level your missions are at. I watch Westie and Stodeh play everyday live and they clearly have enough of a challenge to play as a duo. From what I see, a two men team seems pretty spot on for DMZ.
you have to extract immediately after grabbing shit, ive done solo a few times... if you extract fast enough most players are still gathering stuff and teaming... also try to stay on your side of the map... everyone spawns in on across the map
I pretty much play exclusively solo DMZ. I like the challenge. I'm out of missions that I can do, so I mainly try to kill other players. When you're bad like me, going 1v3 often ends badly.
Solo DMZ is absolutely more rewarding but it's also hard. As long as you play smart and don't run head first into a bunch of AI you can do really well. I tend to mostly go on foot and dart between buildings to stay out of sight. You can run away from fights you can't win and take the ones you think you can. I prefer to play solo most of the time unless I'm doing a regain.
The freaking nostalgia from the BO1 menu theme music man! Ah I miss the good ol days. GG's man no matter what you did really well despite the handicap you went in with!
I mostly play multiplayer and have been trying to play DMZ solo for the last several weeks, but I tended to die a lot trying to solo the Stronghold. I'm currently working on the same missions you are. I used to find IFAKs all of the time, but I can't find an IFAK at all now that I have the mission on. Seems to be my luck. Nice to know I'm not the only one having these problems. Great video though, and if you had fun, I wouldn't mind seeing you play some more.
What you said about there not being a reason to care about your life, but you wait until you are holding a key you've been searching for for days, the gas is spreading, your being hunted two of your mates are down. You've got choices to make and potentially friendships to burn. The pressure/stakes build up with later missions. Especially where you need to take items across different maps and if you die in Ashika before planting the item, you'll need to go back to Mazzy and search for it again. I hope to see more DMZ content from you, and I'm sure Stone is itching to infil with you.
It's not more difficult with a group, the gamemode is intended for 3 players or more, it's more difficult the less players you have, being solo, the hardest. You can also see if your teammates have res kits by their life, if they have the black and white health icon or not. The chemist gives you the M13B, that's the only way to have it, to extract it from dmz, either by killing and grabbing the wep of the chemist which is the m13b ofc, or by stealing it from another player and extracting as well. Plate generation/dropping from AI doesn't depend on headshots, it's random. You should always look for hostage rescue missions for extraction, they're much safer cuz the LZ doesn't appear on the map and it's only yours to use. So even if you intend to play solo, you should always start with a team, cuz if you get killed, you can ask for help to other teams and keep playing, sometimes people won't even loot you up. There is just no reason to not start with 2 other players at all, unless it's specified on a faction mission.
Go onnnn Conner, you're a f*cking gem, keep doing you man. Keep popping off and keep talking in that sweet sweet voice that I'd have whisper in my ear any day of the week and reguarly drops my heartrate to calmBPM. Thanks for the content hope it's treating you as well as it is me x
As someone who solo plays, you have to play it stealthy majority of the time unless you absolutely don't have a choice. I pretty much avoid other players. I'll completely abandon a mission if the area is too hot
I cursed when you were killed in the helicopter. But I agree with you, it`s much more rewarding playing single-player in DMZ, but players that play DMZ solo should start with a self-revive because it`s so much harder because ones you are down your out.
So herd you talking about war trace. There is a string for shutting off pasger war trace. I'm not a pro but in setting by wartrac preference. It says driver and passenger. Think that should work for you. Or driver can push down on controller to shut it off. Your team mate . but ya. Even if your next to the car it seem that you can here your own if on . and it use to be very quiet for mine. And now its preaty loud. So I've had to in game shut it off. But hopefully that's helpful. For u.
Pretty much a snap shot of solo dmz life. Can be a little soul destroying. They defo need a backpack type slot outside game. So you could take put a spare vest etc put in that. Then if killed you bring that one in.
Solo DMZ is my prefered way to play. There's no better feeling than hearing that squad wipe sound when you kill a 3 man that agroed on you. Especially when they yell friendly when the last guy is downed. No guys. You shot at me first. You don't get to yell friendly when you lost lol
Should I go again?
I know tarkov has a lot of cheaters atm but, it's so fun to watch you dominate other pmc. Can we get a tarkov vid
maybe after two weeks... that was a painful ending
Please don't. DMZ sucks. Your too good a player to play this shite.
Yes, i'd just do a little research on some solo runs for your experience to have a better flow, like for instance regain locations and what spots on the map to avoid due to increased AI.
looks like you should avoid this at all cost lmaooo
Glad to see that I'm not the only person who finds DMZ solo impossible
Its really fun if you play super tactical, also use a supressor to not alert other AI and you can kill them one shot in the head with every weapon
its easy lol
It's really not. I suck at it but a few things make it much more possible: Run a silencer if you have one on a weapon. Only engage NPCs for a short time. Once they start draining your plates too much or pushing you close to death just disengage and leave. They will de-aggro from you eventually. Don't push into an exfil too quickly as there might be players camping the exfil. I've found the longer I stay on the map the more difficult the exfil will be.
It is
It's not too bad if you got the right setup for long and cq engagements
That ending was actually tragic
that ending was soul crushing

skill issue
@@Alex-fq4qy what and how is your skill?
That's why I feel it should matchmake by missions completed. It's no fun doing those tier 1 missions when you've got a lobby filled with people doing those pvp missions.
Smashing your balls with a sledgehammer is a more fun experience than solo DMZ
Aculite's commentary can be soothing sometimes
*always
What do you mean sometimes ?
IMO, he's in the personality sweet spot, between having too little and having, well, too much.
Sometimes?!?!?
Most definitely ❤
Now this is what I have been waiting to see!
And there’s the king! 😁
Collab with ON1C PLEASE ACULITE
This collab needs to happen
The truly casual nature Aculite hits his shots - if I’d randomly joined his team I’d be like dude, be our leader, I ain’t worthy.
Nice dialogue a 3:20. Aculite looting the guy's corpse instead of helping him. Priceless.
Aculite has a voice made for baseball. I can imagine driving and listening to Aculite over my radio commentating a baseball game. Ahh how calming and exciting that would be
acculite's first match is a perfect representation of any match i play with teammates
What a gutting ending to the last game, just on the lift off as well. Well played and top content 🤙🏻

The Semtex landing perfectly just inside the door made me laugh. At least you’re getting the full experience
"These guys go up and down like yo-yos".
LOL
Aculite, you should play with ON1C, he also plays DMZ usually solo.
This makes me feel so much better. I am always trying solo DMZ and it is hard as shit. So now I know I am not alone.
The intro song is so nostalgic, I remember playing BO1 splitscreen on my Xbox 360 that I got for christmas. BO1 will forever be my favorite cod
The perfect way to start the weekend🎉 thanks for all the amazing content mate. The David attenborough of gaming
THE WORLD was waiting for this video! Bravo Aculite ❤️
no we werent tbh lol
@@Alex-fq4qy how come man? Aculite and solo games are just amazing. I was really wating DMZ content from the legend.
That black ops 1 music so nostalgic ❤
you have to extract immediately after grabbing shit, ive done solo a few times... if you extract fast enough most players are still gathering stuff and teaming... also try to stay on your side of the map... everyone spawns in on across the map
yes, been waiting for a dmz video, really nice man
I pretty much play exclusively solo DMZ. I like the challenge. I'm out of missions that I can do, so I mainly try to kill other players. When you're bad like me, going 1v3 often ends badly.
But it is pretty satisfying when you manage to win the fight, doesn't it ?

IDK how you stay so calm. I wasn't even playing and I lost my shit on that exfil. You've got the skill, knowledge and attitude of a god
I think part of it is because he's Canadian
The freaking nostalgia from the BO1 menu theme music man! Ah I miss the good ol days. GG's man no matter what you did really well despite the handicap you went in with!

Aculite is so refreshing to listen to

I hope to see more DMZ content from you, and I'm sure Stone is itching to infil with you.
The most punishing part about dying for sure is losing a 3 plate. Being able to be 1 tapped by a sniper is game changing
I need this man's calm personality.
It's not more difficult with a group, the gamemode is intended for 3 players or more, it's more difficult the less players you have, being solo, the hardest.

I saw the tripwire at 16:12 and yelled “ STOP”
black ops 1 multiplayer sound track is so good thanks for using it good memories
That BO3 intro was a flashback in time. Absolutely loved that man😢 makes me miss those days fr
That was Black Ops one.
You're a hell of a sniper. The jump shot head glitch... Then you did it again. And again.
Subbed lol
New Aculite on Saturday morning? Someone put on a pot of coffee
OMG THAT ENDING 😭😭😭😭 ABSOLUTE RAGE LMAO
That AK with that long barrel plus the silencer looks ridiculous. IRL that firing would be all over the place.
Solo is where it's at. I play almost exclusively as a solo. using an AR and a sniper as well as a spotter scope is key to survival.
ON1C plays DMZ solo. He does missions like PVP and all the other really hard ones. Maybe you guys can collab on a video!
Oh, god. DMZ and Aculite! We need moreeee.
The bo1 music makes this 10x better off the bat 😂
Can confirm...difficulty scales with squad size. A pair is much more difficult than solo.
Great games - especially game 2! haha. No joke, though, I've watched your stuff for years and I never cease to be captivated by your videos.
Solo DMZ is the best! As the youth say, it’s a vibe. 😂
I had to fight not skipping the rest of the video. That first team you joined was not only 🚮, their mics were horrendous! Sheeeesh!
That black ops 1 lobby music ❤❤
I loved the part where you threw a cluster mine on the downed guy 👌
M8 those sniper shots were beautiful
The vehicle FOV looks insanely wide. Is it bugged?
That BO1 music is a throwback
As someone who solo plays, you have to play it stealthy majority of the time unless you absolutely don't have a choice. I pretty much avoid other players. I'll completely abandon a mission if the area is too hot
You are absolutely nasty with that sniper rifle! Subscribed!😂
Thank you Aculite for playing this game I’m tired of all the negativity from some streamers
that black ops 1 audio is legendary
I love your gameplays.. they're so relaxing to watch 😊❤
I cursed when you were killed in the helicopter. But I agree with you, it`s much more rewarding playing single-player in DMZ, but players that play DMZ solo should start with a self-revive because it`s so much harder because ones you are down your out.
What a gut wrenching ending.
Intro 🔥
If you were to play with ON1C it would be the most chill video ever. Having him teach you DMZ would be so rad.
The hardest mission for me was Tying My Shoelaces. Just can't seem to pull it off. 😁Stodeh will be your guide in this game mode, for sure.
You hold F to loot, you press F to rescue. xD It's so very unintuitive.
does aculite stream or just videos?
Dude the dying 1 second before extracting is peak
Rando 1: “yeah we kicked him “
Battle intensifies
Enemy rando: “can I join you guys please 🙏🏾😭”
Aculite: “ i gotta go rez a guy over here 👀”
This is exactly what I remember of DMZ. Not something I think I could handle. Lol I can't handle losing all that gear like that over and over.
Def don't play tatkov then b/c what you loose in DMZ is nothing, you can get it back your next run in under 10 mins.
The pain I felt when I realized you didn't see the tripwire and ran right into it 😅
Aculite, you are a class act! Keep up the great work.
So herd you talking about war trace. There is a string for shutting off pasger war trace. I'm not a pro but in setting by wartrac preference. It says driver and passenger. Think that should work for you. Or driver can push down on controller to shut it off. Your team mate . but ya.

But hopefully that's helpful. For u.
Thanks Aculite for this great vid! Really appreciate your posts. Cheers fellow Canadian
The intro background music 🔥
Aculite DMZ solo? I couldn’t click fast enough
How are you not deleting after that ending? What was that bs?
as a solo the stims and the spotter scope are your friend... so you gotta track a min of 3 different tacticals... lol
i love your solo content
man your putting yourself through all the pain! Should play some Tarky to sooth it LOL
Aculite if you shoot potatoes in your backyard with a BB gun and commentate over it, I will still watch it :D
Pretty much a snap shot of solo dmz life. Can be a little soul destroying. They defo need a backpack type slot outside game. So you could take put a spare vest etc put in that. Then if killed you bring that one in.
Surgeon General Warning: Looting Kills
Can you please play with ON1C! He’s a solo DMZ RUclipsr. He gets mistaken for you all the time lol
YES!!!
I loved hearing their mics thank you for not muting😂
Clean communication can take you far in these games. Such distorted mics with unfiltered background noise. You can't hear anyone walk up on you.
Aculite/On1c Collab when? 🤞❤
I'm so happy that you uploaded
Solo DMZ is my prefered way to play. There's no better feeling than hearing that squad wipe sound when you kill a 3 man that agroed on you. Especially when they yell friendly when the last guy is downed. No guys. You shot at me first. You don't get to yell friendly when you lost lol
Я обычно бью ногой в лицо, и воспитываю отряды,😅
you should play DMZ with ON1C haha imo you two have the same voice
When you lose your chopper, maybe it’s fuglet
This is exactly what i have experienced. It‘s kind of frustrating. I will quit playing dmz
"I'm in the bathroom" -- IRL, judging by that mic sound...
honestly that's what I thought he meant lmfao
The moment you died to a trap, I know that pain 😂 solos are such hard work, but so worth it
Aculite: Kill Al Qaida soldier
Al Qaida soldier who is watching: What?!
Cool upload Aculite
How did he get behind you? Can they crawl through the windows?
There is a door at the front on each side.
Hey Aculite, the game sounds seems more on the left side. Nice vid
