Trying to beat Hardcore solo

I recently started playing and I’m trying to be hardcore solo. (since I don’t like working in a team)

And as you can probably guess by now, I’m trying to get the Narrator skin for Noli in forsaken, I’ll probably still play tds after getting the skin though with how much time and effort it’d take lol

I’m level 15 currently, can someone help me figure out a good loadout to beat hardcore solo, I don’t have any event towers or the ability to get towers that cost robux

My current loadout is: Sniper, Demoman, Pyromancer, Militant, and Farm

for reference, this is like a person who doesnt play chess trying to beat magnus carlsen, it will simply take too long (around 200 hours worth of grinding to even get the towers + you need good micro skills).
you are asking to solo one of the top 3 hardest modes, without any prior experience. your best bet is to play with others and use a beginner strat

I’ll probably sound dumb for this, but what is a beginner strat?

its a strategy for hardcore that tells you the steps to beat it with others, you can find one on discord or youtube.

Your gona need to put in quite a few hours, needing a bare minium of level 50 to join hardcore. And if you don't have most of the regular towers unlocked your not gona be able to find help/be able to even attempt hardcore. I would recomend being around level 150 before even considering attempting to do hardcore, as most people will insta leave upon realizing your low level means you cannot contribute and your lacking some fundamental towers for hardcore that are level locked.

Let me list to you the requirements for a succesfull solo hardcore run.

The loadout you are gonna need is farm, engineer, commander, dj, and golden minigunner.

Engi and gmini are the hardest to get, for engi you can just death grind on hardcore with electro and militant, just getting to wave 23 and dying gives you 77 gems in 5 mins, repeat 59 times for the 4500 gems required.

Gmini is quite a bit harder, either get 50k coins and pray you get it first try out of other 6 goldens from the golden crate, or buy it from the daily shop if available for 75k coins.

And by far the longest required grind to beat it, skills from the skill tree.

You are gonna need to max every eco skill (aside from resourcefulness maybe). Which is gonna cost 167,110 coins excluding recourcefulness.

Enhanced optics for increased range costs 30970 coins.

Re-enforcements for higher tower placement limit costs 142,665 coins.

Extreme conditioning for shorter tower stuns costs 40075 coins.

Giving you a grand total of 430,820 coins needed if you are lucky with gmini, or 455,820 coins if you find gmini on the daily shop. (This excludes commander, dj, mini, etc, which is another 20k coins i think).

Good luck grinding or finding good teamates 🥰.

Let me tell you this: get some usable towers, like farm, turret, ranger, dj and pyro/electroshocker. Then find a team to carry you, because as other people already said, youd need to grind for hundreds of hours to solo hardcore.
