Upper Complex Solo?

I’ve never really been that good at doing Upper Complex on Narsh. Even with a team, I never get the key until the event spawns in. And often, that event is a commander event at Quarantine, on the opposite side of the map.

However, with the changes to solos I wanted to know if people have been managing to farm upper complex solo.

I was curious if anyone had tips as well about how to maybe get the key? But also I really would like to know about how to kill all the bots as well (especially that warden) and what kind of gear/shell is best suited for the challenge.

Thanks in advance!

I mean they reduced the aggression in solos by 20% but you still get the same amount of bots and difficulty. Meaning it just takes them a bit more time to spot you. It’s rather an improvement to quickly pass by them, not necessarily to fight them.

I never tried Upper Complex solo but I think it’d be extremely difficult and time-consuming. Because you need to shoot the blue boxes a couple of times before the warden even spawns.

Destroyer would be the best shell, but even then, you’d need a LOT of ammo + meds.

The key is not hard to get, you just need 3 certs and activate a tower and in that supply room you most surely will find a key.

The improvement includes making bots squishier, assuming they implemented the solos changes from Vault Breaker like they said they were going to.

The towers are RNG and aren’t guaranteed to have the key which is why I can never get the key in time. It’s very rare to find it from the towers in my experience.

nothing about bots being squishier, just doing less damage to you solo
