Can we get a "solo friendly" check of all challenges?
So many challenges are significantly easier when you have a friend (or 2 or 3) to coordinate with. This challenge to complete 2 generators in a single trial in her killer's terror radius is really frustrating as a solo player. There are so many factors stacked against me that have nothing to do with my personal skill that it feels like less of a challenge and more like luck.

I've made all of them playing solo. This one took me a little longer but it wasn't difficult. I usually save the ones that look "harder" for last and then play normally with it activated and end up completing it without even noticing...

Yeah I know they're all possible to do lol. But if it's a lot of luck then it might take 1 trial or it might take 50. It's not fun.

^ this.
Taking the difficult Challenges at the end is the best way. I did the Objectives-Challenge last (since it was bugged), but going for the 2 Gens in TR-Challenge last is the best way.
You have two weeks to complete the Challenges until the next Tome Level comes out. And it is good that the Challenges provide something to do for more than a few hours.

Yea, that was my hardest challenge. Got fortunate with a Doctor who took pity on the group of solo potatoes I was playing with (I’m a potat as well) and let us do gens in his terror radius.
I feel like the devs really want us to be frustrated while playing the game when they give us these types of challenges and it causes me to not even want to play them.

I know how long I have. I could have 3 months to complete it, that's largely irrelevant to my point. I'm giving the devs my feedback.

Yeah i mean at this point it's my only survivor challenge left so I have it set to that in case I do complete it, but I'm not going to bother going out of my way to do it. If my survivor teammates are good I may never see the killer or barely get to work on gens at all. If my teammates are bad and need constant unhooking or bring the killer to me I may never even complete a gen. So setting out to do the challenge and then 5 minutes into the trial I realize I'm gonna fail it yet again is not my idea of fun.

You can 99% a gen, wait for the killer to come, complete it and run. Just hope they don’t have ruin.

I'd also like to point out that the devs have said in the past that they want to bridge the gap between solo and SWF and yet the challenges they create often favor SWF, so that's yet another benefit SWF gets over solo.

I actually tried that and a survivor ran over and completed the gen then tbagged lol 😂

Yea, I’m sorry, I forgot teammates can be douche bags too.

I got this done solo. Want to know the secret? Don't even get your hopes up until you get an AFK killer, then see if you hear his terror radius by the 2 closet gens to him. If so you are getting close! From there work on one while keeping an eye on the other(if you can) if someone starts to work on the other, go to that one. Then pray pray pray you have time to finish the other gen.
It's a challenge that really gets you heart pumpin. I thought I was gonna throw up during it, lol. But I got it done. 🍬

But why does every challenge have to be super-easy? Like, they lowered the difficulty A LOT since the first Tome, in fact, most challenges are boring. They dont even deserve the word "challenge". This one is a little bit harder.

I didn't say they all had to be super easy. It's really only that much harder for solo players. SWF can very easily coordinate to finish this challenge. And harder isn't more fun by default, any way. But like I said this is just feedback intended for the devs. I'm not really looking to debate my opinion. The devs can take the feedback into consideration or not.

Or do what I did, play Fei and queue into a baby trapper on a vertical map.

*gets flashbacks to Tome 1s "finish repairing 4 gens in a single trial" challenge*
yeah... that was solo friendly...

Yes, I just 99 the gens then wait for the killer. Sometimes you get lucky and no other survivors are around you to finish it. Also if you 99 the gen and slap on OoO and Spine Chill, wait till the killer is facing you then activate OoO so they know you are there.
