I have a feeling something has been done to stop this happening. The session emptied as soon as I started it. Once, I even loaded a new session (first of the day) with a marker just a 30 second sprint away. It started happening every few missions around 2 days into the beta and eventually would work without fail. I was having success by starting a stranger mission (named or not) up until 2 days ago. I tell ya, if we don't get PvE or at least Invite-only lobbies this game will lose players faster than The Division (and R*, just ask Ubisoft how players feel about forced PvP). Took me several minutes to even find it on the map). Added bonus is your camp will likely spawn in the state you're going to (since it seems to spawn as far away from you as possible - I landed in Gaptooth Ridge once and my camp was on the east cost north of St Denis. The area you spawn into will be packed with players, but the place you want to go will be deserted. I've gotten them by doing story missions, but only the ones where I start it myself from the blip, so that's a limited option.Īlso got some by just waiting everyone out, ie stay in the session long enough that everyone else leaves.Ī good tip for getting some personal space that I read here is to decide which state you want to go to, then use the online menu to join a session on the other side of the map (eg you want to be in New Austin, so join a session in Lemoyne). Must offer PvE sessions, or the game loses many players. I don't want to cheat and won't load my bank or RP, but if I can control it my end to get the poison out, be sure I will gladly break this game to do so. Regardless, whatever does prove to work, I'm jumping on that for sure. Was a new stranger to begin with of course. I got pounded by 4 players while as a postman. Once you’ve interacted with every side mission (revealing the strangers names), you will no longer be able to get into private sessions this way. All side missions that you have previously interacted with will not. Only the side missions that say STRANGER will place you in a private session. There are only a handful of side missions in the game, so once you interact with a stranger mission, it will reveal that strangers name on the map (no longer saying stranger). NOTE: This only works with missions that say “STRANGER”. Look for a side mission on you map that says (STRANGER).
