Just today, I had completed a "solo" Haz 4 Industrial Sabotage as my least favorite class without any help, save for Bosco. It was a very stressful ordeal.
The area was littered with Glyphid Eggs, the type that spawn Swarmers when smashed.
On the first station, I did my best and set up Turrets beside the hack pod. During only ~90% of the way, HACK-C got disabled and I got swarmed and then got KO'd, barely managing to drop a mine before I fell.
On the second station, I did the same thing, even getting KO'd again. I recall someone trying to connect to join me right after destroying the second station, but nope, left.
I then activated the Caretaker after setting up turrets and calling 2 resups. (never used them all in the end, probably 2 used) It spawned Sniper Turrets and Shredders on Phases 2 & 3, respectively. I had to dodge everything with a racing heart while I ran around, searching for the eye and then blasting it.
Finally, I brought down the machine, and then wordlessly set the Data Rack on Molly. The escape sequence was more stressful with xenos in the way. I even recall getting KO'd by a crowd, and then going IW out of desperation, then caving a Glyphid's head in and keeping on running, only to get staggered by a Slasher and fall again, with Bosco waking me up.
The pod's ramp did not reach the ground, and I had to painfully platform my way until I could just ledge-grab the end. I then proceeded to rush on the ramp with some Tri-Jaws aiming at me.
The last I saw of this ordeal was a Tri-Jaw shot to the face as the pod ascended back to the Space Rig.
All this with only Bosco to help, only one revive left
The build I used was an incomplete version of The Gigawatt Genius, with Volatile Impact Reactor and Well-Oiled Machine because I had neither of the Genius build's OCs.
They should make it so that if you have completed a multiplayer mission without anyone joining, (evident as a lack of personal drop pods spawning whatsoever) it should count as a solo mission for consolation for whomever intended their matches to be multiplayer but no help came.
If you have any questions and advice, do ask. I'll do what I can to respond to them.
TL;DR: forced to solo Haz 4 IS as an Engineer with an incomplete build w/o any help aside from Bosco, felt helpless and stressed
