Online Custom Match with Friends

After selecting Private Match, select Custom Game. To invite friends, click Right Stick on console, or click on Invite Players on PC. Players can use all base Operators in custom matches, play any map, and use custom rules.

Bot Match

To add bots to a Private match, select the Slot Available tab on the right side of the screen, where the team overview is and select it. This will add a bot, and to add another one to Team 2, scroll down and select the other Slot Available under Team 2. Players can adjust bot difficulty by clicking the Left Stick on the console or Bot Setup on the PC.

Solo Match

To load a solo match, simply click play without inviting any players or filling any bots. You can choose the rules, time limit, and map. Load in and test your weapons, movement, or do whatever you want!
