While not the optimal scenario, creating an Invite Only lobby stands as the sole method for playing Payday 3 solo at the moment. Unfortunately, the game lacks a dedicated offline single-player mode at launch, but there’s a possibility it might be introduced in a future patch.
Step 1: Access the Heists Menu
Navigate to the play screen from the main menu and click on the Heists button. Inside this menu, you can choose from available missions for matchmaking.
Step 2: Adjust Lobby Settings
Instead of opting for a public lobby, locate the option displaying “Public” and use the arrow to change it to “Invite Only.” This action ensures that only players you invite can join your session.
Step 3: Start Matchmaking
When you are ready to play, initiate the matchmaking process. The game will then place you in a private lobby where only those specifically invited can participate. Use this time to organize your loadout before hitting the ready button to commence the game.
This method allows you to enjoy Payday 3 solo with a controlled team composition. If you encounter any issues or have questions, feel free to share them in the comments section. We’d also love to know your preferred loadout or strategies for solo play in Payday 3!
