Our string of successful missions have forced the Kett into retreat. They fled in two starships and two members of our APEX Strike Team are in hot pursuit. I sent an Asari Sentinel and a Human Soldier to clean up the mess on Sandstorm and get it ready for re-settlement. Asari Sentinel Backlashes the Outlaws (Devices and Retrieval)Our Asari Sentinel did not want to be on cleanup duty on Sandstorm. With the Kett gone for the moment, she needed a challenge so she sent word out to the Outlaw faction to come and fight her at the Firebase. They put up a valiant effort, but they found themselves far too often on the receiving end of her Backlash. Some members of our APEX Strke Teams are just as bright as these Outlaws. I’m thinking I should send out a company-wide memo imploring our soldiers not to shoot or use their powers when an Aegis shield is between them and their target. On second thought, maybe I should just send a private message to our Batarian Scrapper; after all, he’s the one always saying, “Eat my Flak Cannon!” to a Pariah. You know the rest. Our Sentinel handled the Outlaws with relative ease, unlike our Human Soldier. It helped that we only needed her to retrieve some food supplies and turn off the lights on Sandstorm (someone has to pay for those energy bills). Could she have handled a Hack or Upload? After all, her Aegis Shield can only turn back so much fire and she wasn’t specced for speedy throwing. No matter, since I’ll be sending her out with a full team in the future. Gameplay and build notes: bit.ly/2yMtZ4PRetrieval and Devices objectives made this run simple. Used similar techniques with the Guardian and Duelist to raise Backlash during those times when I was running or dashing out in the open. And of course, it's always fun to have enemies down themselves with Reflection. I don’t know why Bioware released the Silhesh Siphon. We already had the Hurricane and the Rozerad. I didn’t think we needed another fast-firing pistol. Since I rarely used it or the Thokin, I don’t know if there is some trick to get the homing down right on these two weapons. It’s an okay gun, but I’d rather take my Rozerad or Hurricane. This build is my Platinum solo build and has taken me all the way to Wave 5. Energy Drain and Tech Armor Shield Feedback for survivability and throw for stunning and light detonations. Backlash for reflecting those blasted Observer laser beams on Kett Platinum. Once the Blaze Hydra and Behemoth arrive on Wave 5, she struggles. But now with a Kishock Siphon to go along with my Rozerad Siphon, she might just be ready!

Human Soldier Struggles but Extracts (Retrieval and Hack)The Human Soldier had mixed feelings as he boarded the shuttle for Firebase Sandstorm. He had a lot of friends who had left the Andromeda Initiative to join the Outlaws and was not eager to have to fight them. “They are no longer the people you know. Hunger does things to them,” I explained to him. I know the Pathfinder was exploring a diplomatic solution to the Outlaw problem, but a truce seemed months away. If there was going to be any trouble, I needed our Human Soldier to be prepared. Our man had a difficult time on Sandstorm. Normally, he would wreck enemies with Turbocharge, Concussive Shot, and Frag Grenades and stay upright with Aerial Evasion and Hold the Line. Clearly, his thoughts were elsewhere, as he hurt himself several times with his own grenades and had trouble with even the most basic of enemies, those Outlaw pets, the Adhis. I could hear over the comms traffic, “Stupid dogs!”, “Stupid grenades!”, “Stupid Sharpshooters!” over and over. I broke radio silence on my end and told him to get his head in the game. “Reports of a Hack are incoming!” I warned him. The Outlaws threw everything at him at the extraction zone. Pinned down behind cover, he could barely pop his head out without getting hit. He expended all of his rockets, first aid kits, ammo packs and grenades to hold the line and secure the hack. There was no kiting of the enemies like his Human Vanguard colleague did against the Kett. He escaped Sandstorm with no consumables left. Battered and bruised, our Soldier is going to be on medical and psychiatric leave for the foreseeable future. He needs it, and I, Kandros, will make sure he gets it. Good thing he brought his Sweeper Siphon with him. It regenerated his health to full several times during the mission. Gameplay and build notes: bit.ly/2AL2dGiI don’t play the Human Soldier that much and it showed on this mission. From blowing myself up with my own frag grenades to getting grabbed and bitten by the Adhis, I knew this was going to be a slog. And when the Wave 6 Hack started, I knew I was in for a battle! Good thing I brought the Grenade Capacity gear because I needed all of them to secure the hack. The Sweeper got buffed recently and it’s a pretty good gun now. I was taking down Berserkers really quick by focusing on headshots (The Targeting VI certainly helped there). I would have thought that the Hurricane Concussive would hit more weak points, but it hasn’t been. Guess I need to aim better! Or just wait for that elusive Siphon variant to drop.
