Continuing the tradition and successes of the ME3MP Platinum Solos Hall of Fame that immortalized over 3000 plat solo runs and provided us with fun (and informative) statistics, I'd like to start collecting data on Andromeda multiplayer games - but without team or difficulty limitations. In other words: Every mission successful MP match you give me, I'll archive - be it solo, duo, trio or team - bronze, silver or gold - public or private - mission or custom - everything goes. (There will be separate leaderboards for each category, of course.) Since we're all new to this game, I don't know yet what information is worth keeping and what isn't. In time I'll come up with a submission form or something like it, but for the moment, simply tell me everything you can about every match you submit. Be sure to include the following:- Date - Duration - Platform - Map - Enemy - Difficulty - Objectives - Mission For each player:- Player tag - Character - Weapon(s) I realize it might a chore to record all the player-specific stuff for non-solo games, especially with pugs; so to kick this off, I'll accept screen or video captures of loadout. That said, I'd still prefer it in writing (easier for me to archive). - Any special achievements or hard-to-obtain medals. For ME3, we had "10 Waves Survived", "Flawless" and "No missiles"; some of these are no longer viable in MEA (obviously it could only be "6 Waves Survived" if such a medal even exists), and maybe there are new achievements that will only become apparent later on - so note down any thing of this sort, even if just vaguely similar. - Anything else you consider unusual or important or fun! I could archive free-form comments too if there's interest. - Important: if you want the submission to be ranked on the leaderboards, you must also supply a link to a video or screen capture of the mission successful report. Full-game videos encouraged! I don't know yet when and where I'll put the gathered data and leaderboards online - it depends on whether there's interest in this at all - but for those unfamiliar with these things, it will be something similar to stuff currently hosted at Prestacious Challenges. So go kick some ass in Andromeda, then come back here and brag about it FOR SCIENCE.

I'm totally bumping my own thread with the glorious announcement that I've played my first duo with ex-Clusum in Andromeda. I had great fun despite the fact that I was dead most of the time, but what else is new? Now lemme try and invent a format for this on the spot. Something like... 26-3-17 | 19:38 | PC | Icebreaker | Remnant | Bronze | Hack, Targets ex-Clusum: Angara Avenger 9 w Charger X Smehur: Asari Sentinel 3 w Charger III imgur.com/HUWklCC

I wanted to collect game data for MEA too, and have halls of fame for solos and other kinds of runs, but the thread I started for it never got a single reply. In retrospect, it's probably for the best, as I barely have enough time to keep this going (sort of). Okay - vanelsa and all the people here, you know what to do Please give Smehur something to do! I'm totally bumping this thread. You have a great place to submit your runs

Very nice Vanelsa But there's a reason why this thread exsists. I think you should copy/paste your sumbissions here. That's how it works in ME3 MP section, nobody creates their own threads and post their results there. I can't think of how much pain it would be, for people like Smehur, who collect and update things, to go and find every single thread with submission in it. For now it's not so bad, since pretty much you're the only one who submitted your runs. But what if other people start doing that? You lead by example

Human Female AdeptMadawot | 18 March 2018 | 45:16 | Sandstorm | Kett | Platinum | Silhesh Siphon and Hurricane Siphon | Xbox A smooth Platinum solo featuring the ponytailed one, the Human Female Adept, against the Kett on Firebase Sandstorm. This one is different from the Human Male Adept run in that I specced for Expanding Singularity and loaded up on power recharge mods to be able to cast Shockwave twice during the lifetime of the Singularity. Objectives: Retrieval / Retrieval / Devices Build: goo.gl/9h9PzZ- Pull: 1 point
- Singularity: 4A 5B 6A
- Shockwave: 4B 5B 6A
- Offensive Biotics: 4A 5A 6B
- Barrier: 4A 5A 6B
- Silhesh Siphon IV
- Hurricane Siphon V
- Expert Package
- Disruptor Ammo II
- Power Efficiency Mod III
Using Expert Package and a Power Efficiency Mod III, I was able to cast Shockwave twice during the lifetime of the Singularity. While Shockwave has a 50% combo efficiency, it can hit unlimited number of targets. So, even though the detonations were not super powerful, the sound of multiple biotic combos exploding sure sounded great! When Singularity was on cooldown, I used Shockwave to detonate enemies primed with Disruptor ammo. Pull was used occasionally to stun an enemy or to neutralize one whose shields had been stripped. The law of averages kicked in and graced me with good objectives for this Platinum solo. I only had two failed missions prior to this successful extraction, one on Firebase Zero (Wave 5), and another with a Wave 2 Hack on Sandstorm.

It's good to see posts here! Thank you, vanelsa, for the work you've started with posting your solos. Feel free to submit several solos in one post if it makes things easier (though I don't mind it this way either). Your gold solos are welcome in the archive too. Also, if anyone knows of any other players who soloed in MEA, maybe you could ask them to post their runs here?

Human Female SentinelMadawot | 19 March 2018 | 43:54 | Sandstorm | Kett | Platinum | Rozerad Siphon and Piranha Siphon Human Female Sentinel Platinum Solo against the Kett on Firebase Sandstorm. Not my best run, but I will take it. Objectives: Boss / Devices / Retrieval Gameplay Notes and Build: goo.gl/v8sDjH- Throw: 4B 5A 6A
- Barricade: 1 point
- Energy Drain: 4B 5A 6B
- Weapon Training: 4A 5B 6A
- Tech Armor: 4A 5B 6A
- Rozerad Siphon VI
- Piranha Siphon I
- Vulnerability VI
- Targeting VI III
- Disruptor Ammo II
This would have been one of my best solos had I not screwed up a prior attempt. I successfully completed a Wave 2 Hack at the LZ only to die during the Wave 4 Retrieval objective. Retrieval! The easiest objective on Sandstorm. Human Male InfiltratorMadawot | 19 March 2018 | 51:13 | Icebreaker | Kett | Platinum | Black Widow Siphon and Eagle Siphon A relatively straightforward solo on Icebreaker against Kett featuring the Black Widow Siphon. Objectives: Boss / Retrieval / Retrieval Gameplay Notes and Build: goo.gl/qiTc51- Sticky Grenade: 4A 5A 6A
- Tactical Cloak: 4B 5A 6B
- Incinerate: 1 point
- Munitions Training: 4B 5B 6A
- Combat Fitness: 4A 5A 6A
- Black Widow Siphon III
- N7 Eagle Siphon I
- Grenade Capacity
- Sniper Rifle Amp III
- Targeting VI III
I barely used, if at all, the N7 Eagle on this mission. The Black Widow doesn’t feel as good as its ME3MP counterpart, but it does pack a punch provided I hit weak points.

I recorded a few mediocre gold solos with the Turian Soldier (who else?) from ages ago: TheTechnoTurian | 26 March 2017 | 27:28 | Icebreaker | Outlaws | Vanquisher TheTechnoTurian | 12 April 2017 | 16:46 | Zero | Outlaws | Vanquisher TheTechnoTurian | 24 July 2017 | 20:25 | Zero | Outlaws | Black Widow These are ancient and may only be interesting as historical relics given how the game has been patched, but probably not too helpful, well-played or relevant (I hate sniping but it was sorta the meta for a bit. Not sure if that's changed). The one from July is probably the last ME:A MP game I played, haven't picked it up since then. In fact, I don't think I ever even tried platinum in Andromeda.

Time for you to return to Andromeda and level that ThinTurian Soldier up again! Though there's no Arc Pistol (and the Venom doesn't quite function the way the ME3MP one does), we've got new buffs to weapons like the Crusader (8 shots, 10 with Munitions Training), Piranha (12 shots, 15 with Turian's Munitions training). And there are strategies on certain maps so you don't have to run around too much from Platinum enemies (think Firebase White or Giant). I understand if you prefer to stick with ME3MP; I have enjoyed watching those vids of yours in the past.

Krogan GladiatorMadawot | 24 March 2018 | 41:43 | Sandstorm | Kett | Platinum | P.A.W. Siphon and Piranha Siphon A Platinum Solo with the Krogan Gladiator and the newly buffed P.A.W. Siphon. This run was much faster than my earlier solo using the Shorty Siphon and the Kishock Harpoon Gun Siphon. I executed my strategy much better with less retreating. Dicey near the end with a difficult third Wave 6 device at the LZ, but she got it done with no gels or ops packs to spare.

Nicely done! I don't use this character much; she doesn't have a detonator, and her melee is just ok. I will have to try her again.
The PAW works well! (Also, you have gotten better at headshots!)

Thanks. I think an alternate approach would be to go to radius pull and recharge boosters. Focus on stripping shields from Anointed, Destined, and Observers, pulling them (Observers have to be close) and hammering them. Headshots are much easier with beam weapons like the Shadow, Equalizer, and P.A.W. Having an 85% booster with the Vulnerability VI and Targeting VI III certainly helped melt the enemies faster.

Human KineticistMadawot | 27 March 2018 | 37:19 | Sandstorm | Kett | Platinum | P.A.W. Siphon and Valkyrie Siphon Objectives: Boss / Devices / Devices The Human Kineticist takes a spin with the newly buffed P.A.W. In this Platinum Solo. This has quickly become my new favorite weapon. Damage is decent and it primes quickly like the Rozerad, Silhesh, and Hurricane. The P.A.W. is much more accurate, however, than the pistol triumvirate. The large clip size allows you to take on multiple enemies at once before having to wait for it to recharge. On a Turbocharge kit like the Turian Soldier, you can even take out two Platinum Ascendants (and their orbs) with one clip! Video and build behind the spoiler link: Build: goo.gl/P9A2xv- Pull: 4B 5B 6A
- Throw: 4B 5A 6B
- Lance: 1 point
- Biotic Ascension: 4A 5B 6B
- Barrier: 4A 5A 6B
- P.A.W. Siphon I
- N7 Valkyrie Siphon III
- Vulnerability VI
- Disruptor Ammo III
- Assault Rifle Amp III
I had an earlier failed attempt with double Boss objectives on Waves 4 and 6. I wasted too many rockets on Wave 4, so I wasn't able to kill the Behemoth in time. On my successful run, I conserved my Cobras after the Wave 2 Boss. I didn't even use a Cobra to take out the Blaze Hydra's targeting eye. Next time, I'll try to kite the Behemoth to one of the fire barrels and use that to ignite him. Fire is the one way to prevent the Behemoth from regenerating his health (Disruptor and Cryo do not appear to do so). N7 Valkyrie buff to clip size is great. It allowed me to put on the Receiver mod while not having to worry about having a small clip size. It's very good for hitting enemies behind cover.

Human Juggernaut Madawot | 29 March 2018 | 32:39 | Vertigo | Platinum | Kett | P.A.W. Siphon and P.A.W. Concussive Objectives: Retrieval / Boss / Retrieval Here’s a fast (for me) Platinum solo with the Human Juggernaut on Firebase Vertigo. The P.A.W. assault rifle once again shows how its newly buffed stats make it one of the best weapons in Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer. Video and build behind the spoiler link: Build and gameplay notes: goo.gl/HQrMrP- Snap Freeze: 4B 5B 6A
- Fortify: 4A 5A 6B
- Shockwave: 1 point
- APEX Training: 4A 5B 6A
- Remnant Armor: 4A 5B 6A
- P.A.W. Siphon I
- P.A.W. Concussive III
- Vulnerability VI
- Disruptor Ammo II
- Assault Rifle Amp III
General gameplay is to navigate around the perimeter of Vertigo, avoiding almost entirely the open middle area. Unlike Firebase Sandstorm, there are no series of buildings to hide on Firebase Vertigo. Instead, there are raised walls and crates where you can safely hide behind for a few moments before moving to the next crate/wall. The key to surviving on this map is to be aware that enemies you dispatch may respawn behind you. When this happens, continue circling around the map and target the respawned baddies. Since the rest of the enemies are behind you, they should be the only ones along your escape path. I did this constantly on Waves 3 and 5 with Observers and Anointed. The P.A.W.’s large ammo clip and fast recharge synergized very well with my gameplay of alternating between shooting and running away. The Juggernaut’s ability to gain invulnerability for 1.5 seconds after each enemy kill was also very useful during this match. Being able to get rid of multiple enemies within seconds of each other with the P.A.W. granted me plenty of invulnerability time to flee to a safer position. Snap Freeze, with its huge armor debuff, makes taking down the Behemoth so much easier. I was certainly not afraid of the Boss objective with the Juggernaut.

Human GuardianMadawot | 30 March 2018 | 36:53 | Magma | Platinum | Kett | P.A.W. Siphon and Valkyrie Siphon Objectives: Retrieval / Boss / Retrieval The Human Guardian visits Firebase Magma in this Platinum solo against the Kett. At extraction, he holes up inside a hidden room on Magma for two minutes, teleporting out just seconds before the shuttle takes off. Video inside the spoiler section. Build: goo.gl/sGVXW2* Backlash: 4A 5B * Shield Boost: 4B 5A 6B * Warp: Rank 3 * APEX Training: 4A 5A 6A * Barrier: 4A 5A 6B * P.A.W. Siphon I * Valkyrie Siphon IV * Vulnerability VI * Assault Rifle Amp III * Disruptor Ammo III Out of all the non-stealth characters, I think the Asari Duelist, Human Guardian, and Human Juggernaut are the best at soloing Platinum. The Juggernaut gets the nod thanks to becoming invulnerable after dispatching an enemy. The Duelist and Guardian are at the top because biotic blink makes it easy to get out of trouble. Pinned down? Blink through a wall where the enemies can’t get to you. Need to get to an objective quickly? Blink through objects as the crow flies. The Guardian also has Shield Boost for extra survivability and Warp for debuffing and detonations. I started the match hiding next to the big rock on the left side of the match. It’s a pretty safe place where ground enemies can only approach you from one direction. If it got hot, I could blink into the adjacent building. Against Platinum Remnant and Outlaws, you have to be careful of Observers which can target you behind the rock.

Human JuggernautMadawot | 31 March 2018 | 27:02 | Paradox | Kett | P.A.W. Siphon and Valkyrie Siphon Objectives: Upload / Devices / Devices The Human Juggernaut came to Firebase Paradox to consider his life in the Andromeda galaxy. Sitting in the Cave of Doom, his meditation was interrupted by the presence of a formidable Kett, Outlaw, and Remnant army that had other plans. No matter, as the Juggernaut defended the mountain base, successfully completed a Wave 2 Upload, and extracted in less than 30 minutes. Video, build, and notes behind the spoiler link: Build: goo.gl/LoZtiZ- Snap Freeze: 4B 5B 6A
- Fortify: 4A 5A 6B
- Shockwave: 1 point
- APEX Training: 4A 5B 6A
- Remnant Armor: 4A 5B 6A
- P.A.W. Siphon I
- Valkyrie Siphon V
- Vulnerability VI
- Assault Rifle Amp III
- Disruptor Ammo II
This is my second Platinum solo with a successful Wave 2 Upload. My first was also with the Human Juggernaut, but that mission was on Firebase Sandstorm and had the Go For the Eyes Mission Modifier for 200% weak point damage. This one did was on tough Firebase Paradox and featured no extra modifiers. Two of the Upload circles were right next to each other, so I made the choice to finish one first, go to the farther away one, and return to finish the last one. I had to leave the last circle after getting overrun, and I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough time to complete it. But complete it I did at the cost of many Revive packs and First Aid Kits. For Waves 4 and 6, I got Devices, which can actually be quite tough on Paradox, depending on the location of the devices. But, I was able to get it done and survive through extraction (losing one more Revive pack in the process). Hiding in the Cave of Doom allowed me to tank Waves 1, 3, and 5. This was useful since I didn’t want to have to run away from the Behemoth, Berserkers, and Blaze Hydras. Fortunately, the Ascendants never really tried to enter the cave with me. Snap Freeze made quick work of Berserkers and debuffed the Behemoth so it was less of a bullet sponge. P.A.W. Siphon and Valkyrie Siphon continue to demonstrate how good their recent buffs have made them. This pair is very useful, since the Valkyrie can take out targets behind cover, and the P.A.W. can handle everything else. I hope Bioware doesn’t nerf the P.A.W. in its next balance change!
