yo I just downloaded the game and have been really enjoying it, played like 6 hours just today. what are the benefits of playing with other players? I don't have many friends who play the game regularly.
depending on the group, you can:
you can do stuff for longer afaik
(for instance, easier to do survival missions for up to 20 minutes as is the usual before running out of there, sometimes they'll go to 30)
-more enemies spawn per player i think, so more stuff, idk
-you might get invited to a clan, which means more weapons and access to volt, zephyr, and banshee 'frames, plus a neat place to have a hangout
-you can make friends who may or may not help you out later on in other missions
-missions probably get easier than doing it alone depending on if the players are at least decent
