Solo Queue Mindset & Reality
Accept that solo queue is a different game. You cannot rely on teammates for anything - assume you're playing 1v1 with occasional NPC help.

Generator Strategy Solo
You must complete 2-3 generators yourself every match:
Efficient Gen Routing
Optimize your generator completion:
- •Start match on furthest generator from others
- •Complete center generators first to prevent 3-gen
- •Never work generator someone else started unless 80%+
- •Use Deja Vu to identify and break 3-gen early
- •Leave generators at 99% if killer approaches
- •Return to 99% generators after killer leaves
- •Prioritize generators near completed ones
Gen Pressure Timing
When to push objectives:
- •During first chase: Complete 1 full generator
- •When killer camps: Rush 2 generators minimum
- •After unhook: Heal then immediately return to gen
- •During teammate chase: Stop hiding, do generator
- •Endgame collapse: 99% door then attempt rescue
- •When slugged: Crawl to generator area for pickup
- •Never waste time on bones unless NOED confirmed
Chase & Loop Strategy
You must loop efficiently since nobody will take hits:
Extended Chase Tactics
Buy maximum time for potato teammates:
- •Pre-run when killer approaches your gen
- •Chain safe pallets early, god pallets late
- •Never greed pallets - you need every health state
- •Use Windows of Opportunity to plan route
- •Run to completed generator areas (no objectives there)
- •Drop shack pallet if it buys 20+ seconds
- •Accept that you'll die if teammates don't do gens
Killer Attention Management
Control when you get chased:
- •Take first chase if you're confident looper
- •Let babies get chased while you do gens
- •Take aggro when death hook teammate is targeted
- •Never take chase at 0-1 gens completed
- •Always take chase at 1 gen remaining
- •Use flashlight saves to pull aggro
- •Bodyblock only for competent teammates
Pro Tip
The golden rule of solo queue: If you're not being chased, you should be on a generator. If you're not on a generator, you should be unhooking. If you're not unhooking, you're the problem. Always be doing something productive.
Endgame Solo Strategies
Endgame is where solo queue becomes pure chaos:
Exit Gate Management
Handle gates without communication:
- •99% gates even though teammates won't understand
- •Open gate immediately if you're last alive
- •Never open gate with teammate on hook unless camping
- •Position at gate lever to see both exits and hook
- •Leave immediately if NOED activates
- •Take hits only for teammates who helped earlier
- •Remember: Your escape matters more than risky saves
Hatch Game
When team collapses:
- •Track hatch location throughout match
- •Position near hatch at 1 survivor, 1 gen
- •Bring key if you have one (emergency option)
- •Never give up slugged position for bad teammate
- •Let teammate die on hook if it secures hatch
- •Remember hatch spawn rules: 1 survivor = visible
- •Use Left Behind perk for guaranteed hatch finds
Mental Health in Solo Queue
Maintaining sanity is crucial for long sessions:
Dealing with Frustration
Stay positive despite the pain:
- •Take breaks after 2-3 bad games
- •Never blame teammates in endgame chat
- •Focus on your own improvement, not escapes
- •Celebrate small victories (good chase, save, gen)
- •Mute toxic players immediately
- •Remember MMR will eventually balance
- •Consider solo queue as hard mode training
Final Thoughts
Solo queue is Forsaken's ultimate test. You cannot control your teammates, but you can control your own gameplay. Focus on self-sufficiency, information gathering, and smart decision-making.

- • Complete 2-3 generators yourself every match
- • Save teammates selectively based on their skill
- • Master looping - you won't get help in chase
