Kandros here with another video update from our APEX mission strike teams. Viridin, our Salarian Operator, asked our Krogan Gladiator when she came back from Firebase Sandstorm, if she had seen her Scorpion pistol in Building 10. The Gladiator said no, and despite my best efforts to dissuade him, Viridin insisted on returning to Sandstorm alone to get his STG heavy pistol. Without his Scorpion pistol, I gave our Operator a recently acquired Rozerad Siphon. "This might be good. Lots of bullets. Heals me," he thought as he packed the Rozerad and his beloved Venom Siphon. I wished him luck as he boarded the shuttle to Sandstorm. "What could go wrong?" he told me, explaining how our Krogan Gladiator just cleared Sandstorm just days ago. How wrong was he. He was on the Firebase no more than an hour when yet another garrison of Kett stormed the base. I suspect there might be a Kett mole on the Nexus, alerting the Archon of our troop movements. In face of overwhelming odds, our Salarian Operator stood tall in the Wave 3 rooftop hack and was speedy in the Wave 6 Retrieval objectives. We especially congratulate him on the fact that he never went down during the mission, using only two First Aid Packs. When I asked him for the Rozerad Siphon back, he waved his hand and said, "No need. I’ll keep it." Gameplay notes for build - bit.ly/2zGitbdI wanted to role play with the Venom shotgun and a Salarian character. Even though it doesn’t reach the heights of the ME3 Venom, it’s still a good gun for crowd control, ammo priming, and long-range aerial bombardment. I used incendiary ammo for taking care of the Fiend and for fire explosions. A cyclonic mod 3 for survivability, though I probably could have used a power efficiency mod for more frequent casts of overload and shield boost. The Wave 3 hack was hairy but much more manageable than the double hack I had with the Juggernaut. It helped that it was on the rooftop, where there was only one way for the enemies to come in. Still, all those Wraiths and the camping Ascendant made this Salarian stress a little bit.

Great stuff! Makes me want to roleplay some games. Thanks! I have many more themed solo runs planned, including an Asari Duelist with a Disciple, Krogan Vanguard run with the Ruzad, and an Angara Exemplar attempt with the Ushior and the Isharay. Some of these weapons are not ideal for Gold solos (I’m looking at you Isharay with its super long reload times and shield gate), so we’ll see how they turn out. Also hoping that I don’t get certain objectives when playing characters not suited for dealing with them. A boss objective on Kett with a Duelist or Kineticist will not end well, for instance. The first two targets will be fine; it’s that heavily armoured Behemoth at the end which I’m dreading. I had a really good run with a Human Vanguard end on a Wave 6 hack at the LZ on Sandstorm against Remnant with just seconds left on the timer. Sometimes you can handle the rush, and sometimes the rush gets you. Later, I’d like to do some themed team runs. A three-man Salarian STG run (Infiltrator, Architect and Operator), a four person Krogan team (Vanguard, Mercenary, Engineer and Gladiator), an Angara grouping (Exemplar, Avenger, and Insurgent), and an all Asari strike team (Huntress, Adept, Sentinel, Duelist).

Great job! Also, your mission stories are more interesting than Andromeda campaign.

Great job! Also, your mission stories are more interesting than Andromeda campaign. Thanks. I haven't even finished the campaign yet. Still stuck on the first planet where we meet PeeBee. I'm in some Remnant Cave right now and have to complete that so I can get back to the Tempest and open my Pathfinder Loot Boxes (stuck at 200). This is the opposite of ME3, where I completed the campaign first; multiplayer helped me get over the disappointing ending.
