Can we please get the option to solo strikes?

This is ridiculous, just bailed out of a strike because all I wanted was just run through killing everything along the way but my forced partners think its better to skip everything. I get that it's fun sometimes to try skipping through as blistering fast as possible but...why in a normal bs strike? And there's always at least one person who's like this every single time I do any strike from anywhere. NFs I feel gets an out because of the higher caliber of skill needed and how ridicules they can become, but for the rest its absolute madness. I just want to run through a strike at my own pace, play through it the way I want. It can have the same crap rewards as picking one with matchmaking on. Just an option to play it solo from each planetary location. Select the world, then select the strike, and then select matchmaking off and launch. Nothing extra, just that option....please Edit: It seems that quite a few people here aren't understanding which strikes I'm talking about. I'm talking about the individual strikes in each of the destinations, [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] the vanguard strike playlist. Just the base basic strikes that you have to pick individually to get the option to play solo, nothing else. And if your argument is about rewards, then go play in the playlists where the rewards are better. I'm just wanting to play through at my leisure using whatever weapons/tactics I want, as slow or as fast as I want without random people dictating my play-style by simply trying to rush ahead of me. I have played this game long enough to know how to rush and I can keep up, if not pull ahead, with the best of them. I just find it very boring to play that rushing style all the time when I just want to relax and play how I want to. So what if I want to go slow, its solo.

    I just want to solo strikes for enjoyment. Playlist strikes are really boring since enemies just fall over and you get absolutely 0 challenge

  • We’ve been asking this for a few years and Bungie still hasn’t done it. I’d love that option too to solo strikes but I don’t think it’s coming anytime soon

      I very much agree; however, I also am in the camp of people who just want to speed run the strikes as well. I want to do either. I just kill everything, or speed run through. I want to run through it at my own pace with my own builds.

              • I swear they need to put this in destiny 2 it would make completing bounties so much better and not having to speed in front of other people in the fireteam to get the kills you need to complete the bounty’s.

The worst is when these guys do it on Heroic Nightfall (the highest level Bungle 'lets' solos have, to make sure we can't get [i]actual[/i] rewards without frakkin LFG bs).

                  • I get what you saying, but i disagree asking for solo strikes. There is no need for them. You can finish most bounties in a strike or 2. And even if you play with speeders, you can still take your time/play how you like, until they pull you ahead. If it annoys you, just dont revive them if they die. And leave the group and load back into strikes to get a different group. Also, I get some like to take their time going through strikes, but it comes a point in time when you have to advance the strike. Unless you deviate from doing the strike itself (ex: LOS and staying back to kill the fallen/cabal that are fighting at the beginning), you eventually run out of enemies to kill and must advance the strike. When people ask for solo strikes, it sounds like they just want to load in to do bounties and not really do the strike. That's selfish as hell and not a legit reason for solo strikes.

                    • It won't happen as long is bounty grind is a thing They don't want to facilitate bounty farm ....so making a solo strike to just grind bounty and leave mid point isn't in their plan I'm not saying this is what you will do but the majority will use it for that

                        • I think that with the intro to the Legends Missions now, we should have an option to turn off MM. Like if I want to go in with my friend and just duo a Strike or Strikes, I should be able to. Why can Grand Master Nightfalls and Master Difficulty modes be soloable or duo, trio. But the easiest of the modes can't? Please add a "freelance" Mode for Strikes. Let us toggle MM on our Off.

                        • I agree we should have the option to solo or matchmaking. And I understand some of us are just trying to run all our strike bounties or just trying to finish the strike to get pinnacles so we can move on to something else.

Go to settings and manually reset your date & time, (back up a year)...then jump in and do strikes, maybe you'll be able to go alone. That "running past enemies" pisses me off too! It's a SHOOTER, Go jog if your in a run mood.

                          • I just advance the date/time settings on my console by a couple of months or years then it's just me, the enemies & whatever strike/NF or world activity.
