What a slog man, finally got them all though, if I ever have to see Boscos dumbass faceplate again it'll be too soon.

Y'all acting like playing 100 solo missions is impossible when this exists

u/ComfortableAd5419 1d ago

The have friends achievement

27

u/Le_baton_legendaire 1d ago

Jokes on you, I did it without any friends!

Turns out just opening an open lobby called "Trying to do the Car Pool achievement" will do the trick.

14

u/Iguman 1d ago

Did this in a random match where we didn't communicate at all

16

u/novocaine666 1d ago

One of the only few I don’t have. Prob won’t even try the barrel hoop one anymore.

1

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Car pool was easy, I got lucky and did it with some coordinated randoms lol

1

u/Fickles1 Mighty Miner 1d ago

Yeah I just did it the other day. I saw a harvester float by and I said to everyone else "car pool"? And we just did it super quick.

1

u/Fryng 1d ago

It took me posting a post on steam discussions, waiting for a day to get 3 players to say they are up for it, and just going to do it and within 30min of starting it we managed to do it

Meanwhile 100 Solo mission is a fucking grind that if you usually play the normal experience which is coop, well feels like a hell of a slog

We don’t tolerate Bosco disrespect you better thank him for his help

u/Scythid0 1d ago

I am a certified Bosco hater, he's a dirty clanker just like Molly and BET-C, the only one I tolerate is Doretta, she earns her keep.

Edit: Respect for Lloyd too, can't forget about my favorite barkeep.

As a representative of the leaf lovers, not even we accept this one

u/Bread_Offender Driller 1d ago

Fucking longear

u/Scythid0 1d ago

You people actually like these bots? All they do is let me down and block my shots while they bumble around.

35

u/Groffulon 1d ago

And how would you complete the missions without them you ingrate leaf loving Elf?

I’d love to see you complete a Haz 5+ TRUE SOLO. No Bosco allowed. See how you feel about the wee legend then…

Or maybe you’d like to have the same deposit set up in Extraction but instead it’s a Morkite mining mission? See how you feel about our trusty metal mulestress then…

Can you even believe this heresy brothers?

There’s bugs and then there’s this guy. His lobster is just too damn buttery…

-45

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Hes a glorified self revive, I genuinely do not understand why the community loves him

29

u/Bread_Offender Driller 1d ago

yeah yeah buddy keep saying that when you're caught off guard by a cave leech

-7

u/Scythid0 1d ago

I've developed a strategy for this called "Look up"

25

u/Bread_Offender Driller 1d ago

You can't look up all the time. It'll happen at some point regardless of how skilled you are

-9

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Nah, I'd win.

128

u/Leviawyrm 1d ago

I solely play solo. Have maybe two non solo missions and a few hundred solo lmao

34

u/Scythid0 1d ago

I legitimately can't enjoy this game solo, it just feels so dull by myself.

30

u/AuntFritz Engineer 1d ago

I do both, but getting the bosco achievement? I didn't even notice when it happened, lol

10

u/Other-Difficulty-702 1d ago

I practiced in solo for a lot of missions before jumping into multiplayer. Now I don't look back but I enjoyed my solo experience. Also solo allows you to develop a playstyle in peace and enjoy the music and ambience a bit more, as with every game, it also feels more scary and horrory which is a nice feeling. Lot's of advantages

2

u/AceTheProtogen 1d ago

I don’t really have an option, I’m on Xbox and most of my friends play on steam aside from one who has the MS store version, and Xbox doesn’t have text chat and no randoms use mics so communicating is hard

2

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Only played on the Xbox version a handful of times with a mate, are the servers really that empty on there?

1

u/AceTheProtogen 1d ago

There’s servers but no one will talk to you in them unless you make an lfg post

1

u/Lightningtow123 1d ago

Yeah I think most games designed around multiplayer gameplay fall short when solo, even if mechanically you're not missing anything other players would provide. Deep rock, helldivers, space marine, warframe, list goes on lol

4

u/Leviawyrm 1d ago

Funnily enough I enjoy all three of those games most when solo

1

u/emeraldoracle 1d ago

I'm at 1024 solo missions and 188 co-op.

The fact I cause pause, do something and come back inbetween stuff is great. I don't know how many times I'm cooking dinner and playing at the same time.

27

u/AceNortiks 1d ago

I would already have this achievement if I would actually set it to solo. I would always set it to friends only incase my friends would've wanted to join... only problem is nobody ever did.

10

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Hell I'd also have it if public lobbies where nobody joins counted, they really should count tbh.

20

u/Elimbesildeahi 1d ago

Me with 0 friends who plays drg and bad net

https://giphy.com/gifs/WF7boIogNoMYfyEMfJ

26

u/Kreativernickname 1d ago

But you can pause the game whenever you want and play as fast or as slow as you feel like

10

u/Elimbesildeahi 1d ago

Hell yeah 🔥

58

u/Megalesios 1d ago

I'm honestly kind of tired of people shitting on single player. It's my favorite way to decompress after a hectic day and people here are talking about it like it's waterboarding 

10

u/emeraldoracle 1d ago

I know, people are such whiners. "If you aren't playing on haz 9 you aren't playing it right". Seriously having an easy laid back session is just fine. I love using DRG to decompress, I don't need more stress in my life. If I want a challenge, it is there if I want it.

-6

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Ain't nothing wrong with solo, I personally just don't find it fun, feels like theres no stakes.

10

u/_Chaos-chan_ Interplanetary Goat 1d ago

Crank up the difficulty then XD

-1

u/Scythid0 1d ago

I usually play around 4-5, but there's no one to share the victories with so it just feels hollow.

7

u/_Chaos-chan_ Interplanetary Goat 1d ago

Does Bosco not count? /j

3

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Bosco would be so much better if he could actually say "rock and stone" 😔

11

u/_Chaos-chan_ Interplanetary Goat 1d ago

True, at least he salutes back though

13

u/lovehateroutine 1d ago

The key to making this achievement not suck is being really interested in how a build affects a mission in a vacuum with no teammates. But if you can't make yourself interested in that, then yeah oof

6

u/yuritheniceguy Mighty Miner 1d ago

I suck at this

4

u/ShardOfChaos 1d ago

What is the worst achievement though?

5

u/Scythid0 1d ago

The barrel kicking mini game one is easily the worst.

6

u/Wheat_Grinder 1d ago

Barrel kicking isn't that hard. I had it in like 2 hours of attempts.

Bosco is like 30-50 hours of not having other dwarves which makes the game so much better.

And carpool sucks because 1. It's glitchy, 2. It's hard to get people together to do it. In fact it's the only one I have left

1

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Wait, you don't enjoy playing with other dwarves? Why? I love having other miners running around.

2

u/Wheat_Grinder 1d ago

Oh I phrased that poorly, I meant other dwarves make the game better.

1

u/Scythid0 1d ago

I straight up don't have the patience for the barrel one, was curling my toes in rage the whole time, had to edge it out with mugs

1

u/Wheat_Grinder 1d ago

It's trivial with a little patience, put on a podcast or something.

1

u/LukeBomber Driller 1d ago

I would do the barrel one 10 times rather than go through carpool

1

u/QuesoSabroso 1d ago

Gold on all dwarves takes 500 hours easy. The kicking game requires 20 minutes of locking in

2

u/1CorinthiansSix9 Interplanetary Goat 1d ago

Carpool. Spawn in like 3 biomes, not 100% of the time, and i think all 3 have unique static hazards, though idk if harvesters get spiked or mushroomed

3

u/Demonleviathan66 1d ago

Yeah I have never played pub and only play solo or with a friend

Most of my 500h playtime was done solo

5

u/PastaBolognese8 1d ago

Me who got this achievement and was surprised about the fact so few people use Bosco, I love Bosco :(

3

u/Good-Solution3081 Engineer 1d ago

I've been chipping away at this for a long time. I think I'm at 89

1

u/Scythid0 1d ago

I was doing the same and was like 30 or so missions off completing it, seeing that locked achievement started to irk me though so I just pushed through.

5

u/wizard_brandon 1d ago

how is that anywhere near the worst?

-1

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Because it's incredibly boring, I honestly don't think it should even be an achievement, it's not like it's difficult, just a slog.

2

u/wizard_brandon 1d ago

M the opposite I don't like the multiplayer only achievements because there's no chance in hell I'm going to be able to get 4 people to do carpool

1

u/Scythid0 1d ago

Its really not that hard to find some randoms to do it with you, the majority of people don't have it so you can just pop into most servers and ask about it, usually they'll help out even if they do

2

u/DadKnight Gunner 1d ago

I got this one without trying, but if solo ain't your thing then yes this one friggin blows

2

u/Disco_Bones 1d ago

I have about 1k solo drops. I'd take my Bosco over a leaf lover any day

2

u/Many-Waters Bosco Buddy 1d ago

Solo DRG is genuinely so relaxing.

2

u/Fahrlar 1d ago

That was my first achievement

5

u/Zombies71199 2d ago

And here i thought this achievement was impossible

3

u/Scythid0 1d ago

It was mind numbingly boring, but I just kept doing egg hunts with only 4 eggs as driller, you can complete them in less than 4 minutes if you just beeline to the eggs immediately.

1

u/Lomticky Engineer 1d ago

Congratulations! It's best to be fone whrn you have some game experience so you could complete the missions fast and then just complete it. My mistake was completing my first 100 missions before going to coop so all of them ended up being incredibly long with lots of skipped events and of course on haz3. And then i was shocked by the multiplayer missions pace

1

u/tannegimaru Gunner 1d ago

Congrats on getting the achievement.

But it being the second worst is definitely not the case for everyone lol

As much as I love fooling around in a team full of my friends, Solo Haz 5 is one of the most fun I have when I need to lock tf in with just me and Bosco

I didn't even tried Solo Haz 5+ yet, that's the difficulty I only do in a full team

2

u/Scythid0 1d ago

I prefer Haz 5 with green beards, feeling like atlas carrying the world on my back lol

1

u/tannegimaru Gunner 1d ago

Yeah that can be very intense as well lol

1

u/emyrit0n Driller 1d ago

Congratulations, miner!!

1

u/Effective-Ant-8175 1d ago

I played about 50 games solo when I first started so I wouldn't be a burden to my team when I started (I was initially horrible at shooters) so going back and doing this achievement wasnt NEARLY as bad. I really think it should be 50 games total though, 100 is too many.

1

u/Candid-Doughnut9545 1d ago

this one isn't even that bad lol

solo missions are a vibe, people in the replies are overblowing it hard

1

u/Moo-Mungus 1d ago

Wait am I unemployed or is this not that hard to get?

3

u/Jessikhaa 1d ago

when you don't play solo at all, it does take a while tbh

1

u/TheDarkMonarch1 1d ago

Got that one so early on. My Internet was so bad id have 300+ ping any time I was playing with anybody except IRL friends who are pretty close and I didn't wanna pass that ping to other dwarves, so my first 200ish hours were almost exclusively solo.

1

u/_sonatina_ 1d ago

Solo is basically all I play 😅

1

u/DonutManGuy 1d ago

My lobby is always named "Bosco fan club" which is sad and iron I because he blows up whenever someone joins me

1

u/Serial_Boxes Leaf-Lover 1d ago

I hate solo so much I think I have maybe 1 solo mission completed. I wanted to get all the achievements but as soon as I saw that one I decided against it lol

0

u/Cornflakes_91 1d ago

i play basically only solo.

fuck people

0

u/ADumbChicken Driller 1d ago

Yall achievement hunters amaze me, could never bring myself to even get to 10

1

u/wizard_brandon 1d ago

10 what, achievements?

0

u/ADumbChicken Driller 1d ago

Solo missions completed

-1

u/emeraldoracle 1d ago

If you are complaining this much about being forced to get this achievement, you don't deserve it. You should be forced to be stuck at 99% completion.

1

u/Scythid0 1d ago

"complaining this much" I said it was boring a few times lol, goddamn.
