If it wasn't for observers, I'd pick remnant every time lol. I can not stand ahdi and wraith. Can't snipe in peace!!! lol My order of hatred for the dog-like creatures goes Adhis, Breachers, and Wraiths. Wraiths at least don’t bite and grab like the first two. You should bring back the Asari Adept sniper build from ME3MP and run Vortex Annihilation Field. Then, laugh as those Adhis, Wraiths, and Breachers float helplessly.

Last solo? lol FAIL. I am just starting out in MP having played very little on release as I played the single player and then moved on to other games after 1 complete playthrough (and multiple restarts lol). So my Apex rating was hovering around 1000, now I'm over 2000 but I can't even solo bronze because of a couple things (I think, hell maybe I just suck) 1. I'm really bad at not kite-ing the enemies. I'd rather hunker down like in a traditional horde mode sense (think GoW, old school horde). 2. My characters and guns are all low level. I'm just now starting to get the commons to rank X, but no one is at level 20 yet. And my favs seem to be hella squishy. 3. Can't carry many consumables so I only get 2-3 revives per try. =/ That said I did join a gold that turned into a plat (host changed the difficulty after we completed the gold) and made it through 5 waves with only 3 of us and me basically just tickling the enemies lmao. So that was fun. It just takes practice and time. I’d focus on getting a character you really like to 20 and playing with him/her. And get at least one Siphon variant from the Uncommon pool of weapons to increase your survivability. What packs gives out the +consumables? Obviously, the best two are First Aid Kids and Revive Packs. So, focus on whatever pack drops those too. If you want to hunker down, find a group that does some Platinum farming on Paradox or Magma. Even low-level characters can pass that provided there’s someone to revive and do the objectives. Then, you’ll be flush with credits to buy packs, level up your characters and weapons.

I've been using the insurgent on zero and can hold down the back corner pretty well by myself. Noobish I know, but I don't like the run around everywhere style. I also unlocked the PAW last night and that's just shredding enemies! Love it. And I assume you're allowed to carry more consumables when you level up your characters or something because now I'm carrying like 3-5 of each and never run out for the most part. If it wasn't for observers, I'd pick remnant every time lol. I can not stand ahdi and wraith.

The asari adept is one of my highest leveled characters as I enjoy them. Never thought about making them a sniper!!

The +1 consumables (up to 5) comes from packs, not from leveling up your characters.

No wonder you haven't spent your 1.6 million credits! Check that again... Maxed manifest in late January or early February. Forgot to add... Spent 4 rockets on Behemoth and managed to kill it seconds before timer ran off, and spent last one on bugged Ascendant. Also minimal usage of Stealth Grid.

The only UR gun I've gotten and somehow I pulled the best one but thanks! You may never get that Assault Rifle Challenge done now. The PAW and the PAW Siphon both took a long time for me to unlock. Now, it’s my go-to gun to use on almost all of my characters.

Scorpion.
Did a Gold solo using primarily the Scorpion (and Venom as backup) on Magma. Hid by the left rock outcropping for most of the match to maximize AOE action with both weapons.

Soloed daily apex silver at aqua with Kineticist lvl 19 XIII / Black Widow X / Hurricane Siphon II - Used 99% Black Widow. Was fun, although some kiting had to be done, because the kett rushed me few times. Most annoying: Wraiths.

Interrupted!
I started a Platinum solo with my Avenger and made it to wave 4 when people showed up in a big group. I was doing okay though. First objective was devices, second was boss, and I had just started. I made it to that point having used two heals and one rez and one ammo pack, so, things looked sort of okay. Don’t know if I would have been able to pull off boss on my own, but maybe.
What all respawns in Platinum waves? How do the respawn rules vary in objective vs survival waves? I don’t really pay attention to this in Gold, but Plat is different. I’ve been avoiding the bosses (so, Ascendants, Fiends, Behemoths, etc.) until the end and it is tough in a solo. Those dang Ascendants actually get around pretty fast and they get out in front of the infantry and keep me rotating, looking for shots.

good job soloing till Wave 4 with your Avenger! what map were you doing this on?
There is a wave budget on Platinum, but the exact mechanics have not been fully explored and documented. These are some notes from my many solo Platinum missions:
On the objective waves, i ignore killed anything (except for targets and an enemy that is in my way) until i have completed the objectives. For Hack and Upload, of course, get rid of anything trying to enter the circle, but good luck with that. There’s a reason why there are only a handful of successful Plat solo videos featuring Hack and Upload; they are really hard and almost impossible!
Kett
Wave 2 - Get rid of 6 Ascendants to remove them from the wave budget during the objective. I saw this on EclipseMerc’s Platinum Solo on Sandstorm Kett in a Wave 2 Hack.
Wave 3 - You have to dispatch anywhere between 23-30 enemies to deplete the wave budget. Some examples:
7 Observers, 3 Berserkers, 3 Saboteurs, 4 Anointed, 8 Destined,1 Ascendant = 26 7 Observers, 4 Berserkers, 2 Saboteurs, 8 Anointed, 2 Destined, 1 Ascendant = 24 15 Observers, 1 Berserker, 2 Saboteurs, 6 Anointed, 4 Destined, 1 Ascendant = 29
Wave 4 - I have never hit the spawn limit for Ascendants and Fiends on this level, but I think it’s over 4 for Fiends, I think.
Wave 5 - Kill 3 Behemoths and 3 Blaze Hydras if you want to deplete the wave budget quickly. I generally leave the Blaze Hydra for the end (after taking out its targeting eye with a Cobra). With my first Krogan Gladiator solo, I focused on Anointed:
1 Blaze Hydra, 3 Observers, 1 Behemoth, 18 Anointed, 5 Destined, 3 Saboteurs = 31 total enemies
Wave 6 - You probably won’t live long enough to hit the spawn limit for Berserkers, Behemoths, and Ascendants on a Wave 6 Hack or Upload. Only Pota Pota has been able to get a Wave 6 Hack done, and he didn’t survive to finish the match (Turian Havoc Trooper with the Rozerad Siphon).
Remnant
Wave 1 - I just focus on the Observers and Adhis. At the end, there will be 3 Saboteurs left.
Wave 3 - Eliminate 6 Berserkers and no more should respawn.
Wave 5: If you’re lucky to get the Progenitor to get stuck on spawn, you’ll fight dozens of Wraiths, Observers, and Saboteurs. This is easy to do from behind Building 37 on Sandstorm or in the Cave of Doom on Paradox.
Outlaws
i have the least experience with Outlaws on Platinum, but it appears that Berserkers’ spawn limits are much higher here than they are on Kett and Remnant Platinum. So, unless you have a character that can really handle them easily, you may find targeting the other enemies to be advisable.

Kinda hard lol. Mainly the objective waves because I didn't have invis to do them and had to blow through most of my consumables.
