How to Play Payday 3 Solo in 'Invite Only' Lobbies

Payday 3 is primarily a multiplayer game, but you can play solo by changing the lobby type to 'Invite Only'.
To play solo, select your heist, change the lobby type from 'Public' to 'Invite Only', and start matchmaking.
Playing solo will give you AI teammates who don't interfere much unless things go wrong.
AI teammates won't follow you in secure or private areas, but will in public areas or if the alarm triggers.
There is currently no true single player mode, so this invite-only method is the only way to play solo.
