Hi

If offline means ‘no internet connection’, I can say ‘YES’. Check it for yourself: Either unplug the network cable or disable WLAN. Then start BFD3 and it works in terms of loading a kit and play grooves.  
It does it for me whereas I had all packs installed/registered/authorised while having an internet connection.

But how long does it work offline? 90 days from what I understand. It’s not your typical plugin.
