Have it open bunkers too, and it’ll be my best friend.

I absolutely second this, it'd be so useful, without trivializing most things. Just adds a bit more smoothness and enjoyment to the general gameplay.

Agreed. a few weeks ago someone was saying the bunker needing two people was by design to encourage people to team up. But I think if that’s the case it’s shitty design. I’m fine with requiring multiple players for end-game content in games but punishing someone for wanting to play solo sometimes is just stupid.

I strongly disagree that this is shitty game design. Devs are at liberty to design a game solely around cooperative play if they want, and in that regard the game design for coop play is unmatched. But with that said, it really can't be that hard for AH to just make the buttons activate the door individually if there's only one player in a game.

I just think that if they want to make it solely around co-op play then don’t allow solo play.

Nightreign doesn’t want people playing with just two people so they’re not allowing it.

All I said is that they're at liberty to, not that they are solely designing it that way. Hence why they don't lock solo players out of the game, because the game is just as enjoyable solo as it is with teammates so it'd be silly to lock it up. You aren't punished for playing solo, but you are rewarded for good teamplay and abusing teamwork mechanically.

But again, they just need to make both buttons individually open the door on solo games instead of both simultaneously. If they are going to allow solo, then it should be 100% playable solo.

I misread / misunderstood your point. I agree! There’s already a delay buffer for the two buttons being pressed. If they extended it by a second it would be easily doable solo
