How to use bots and play solo in PAYDAY 3
To use bots in PAYDAY 3, you first need to hop into a heist with an empty lobby. Once you have selected the heist you want to take on, like Under the Surphaze or Dirty Ice, you need to move your selection to Invite Only and start the matchmaking process.
Once you do, you just need to wait a little while for the game to start. Because you haven’t invited anyone to join your game, PAYDAY 3 will instead load in some bots to join you on your misadventures.

Why use bots and play solo in PAYDAY 3?
There are various reasons why you may wish to use bots in PAYDAY 3 including wanting to play some Solo Stealth games.
While it is certainly beneficial to work with your team of real-world friends and strangers, it can make a heist somewhat unpredictable, especially if someone gets unintentionally caught.
However, if you’re playing with bots, you maintain a degree of control over the situation, and can even complete some heists without even masking up.
It's worth noting that, even if you load into a game with bots, you'll still need to go through the normal matchmaking process. As PAYDAY 3 is an online-only game, you'll still need to contend with the online server queues.
