Single Player
The only one out of the two games to offer a single player campaign is Battleborn. There are nine missions (prologue and eight episodes) that players can run through to unlock currency, titles, and some of the characters. Done in a TV style series of episodes, players are treated to a story that depicts why all of the Battleborn characters in the game are teaming up, and what they’re fighting for. There isn’t so much backstory for each character here, but it’s something to do when you don’t want to play with others.
Both games allow you to play the multiplayer modes solo against bots if you want to practice or just blow off some steam. It’s not a legitimate single player experience if you only consider campaigns and story to fit the bill, but it is something.
It should be noted, though, that whether you’re playing bots or with people in either game, you still need to be connected to the internet. So ‘single player’ is used quite loosely.
