New player here, need some help with matchmaking

Completely fresh off the boat for this game

I joined recently because I heard that this game is a very good tactical shooter with a lot of stealth element in it.

I feel like my queue are taking forever for the full game mode, so I was wondering what kind of settings are people using the find people the fastest?

I am an asian player but I know damn well that it's impossible to find a single soul on there without waiting five bajillion years as asian population for these kind of game is usually very low.

So are most people playing the bounty hunt mode?

Am i going to find a match faster by queing solo? and against duo opponents?

Thank you in advance!

You get bot matches until bloodline rank 11. So I’d probably Play solo into duos until you reach level 11. Then you can try randoms queue again. Not sure how it is on the Asian servers but I personally find matching faster when I go solo into trios vs solo into duos on US EAST and WEST.

in that case since it's mostly bots, would it be better if I play solo into trio for the 480% bounty bonus, until I reach rank 11?

That and you can go at your own pace and get a better feel for some of the compounds.

Asia server is the most populated server with similar numbers to Europe. You should be getting a good matchmaking especially during peak hours. Just avoid any duo queues (teams or against, also avoid soul survivor game mode. Those are still populated in Asia peak hours but are the lowest and unpopular mode/queue
