Who here has soloed platinum and how did you do it?
I've used the turian ghost with black widow/harrier combo
And also the geth trooper soldier with primary use of flamer and the acolyte for shields. the geth trooper soldier has amazing shields if specd correctly and the right equipment.
Curious what other people have used so I can try it myself

I've done it twice. I never really enjoyed them because of the RNG grind and preferring the team aspect but....TGI in 2012 and Drell Vanguard in 2015.

First one I did was with a Vanilla Human Female Infiltrator with a Valiant VIII vs Reapers on LoL Giant back in 2012. Did it specifically to roleplay my canon FemShep. Took me quite a while.
Then after that, I did Platinum with almost all the kits.

I did it once for the challenge completion and then never again as I didn't enjoy it despite picking my favorites wherever possible. Javelin GI on Reactor/Cerberus. Only took me about 30-35min as well if memory serves, but it must have been two years ago by now.

It was a grim and dark night, aye. Rainy too. And on that night it fell on a single agent to confirm the sightings of a new threat. She was a seasoned one.
She was the one who retrieved the Golden Collar of the Pug from Vancouver doing it her way all along: Silent and as close as can be in single combat. Hattori Hannah had sent Cerberus off the streets of Vancouver and was now bound for Benning to crush a combined force of bugs, cerbie traitors reapers and toasters. But mostly bugs. So they said.
And she did. She did crush bug lieutenants, dodged bee swarms, took the heads of abominations in dozens and she danced. She danced with the Scion like no one else could dance. She danced with Brute and Atlas and Prime. Even the Banshee - yes indeed. But then came the crab. The crab did not like to dance. No, the crab ate shotgun. And it ate a lot.
And after five relentless waves, Hannah asked herself if it was worth the glory. Would it mean anything to dance with the crab and likely die or wouldn't it be better to run?
To run in shame, but warn the BSN that the Platinum Collar of the Pug was not meant to be a trophy of just one agent. Lest it consumed all the gear the war had left over. For the final push. The final push to unlock the True Ending.
That's what counted when Hattori Hannah turned and fled.

Curious what other people have used so I can try it myself Outside the TGI and Geth Trooper, other kits that I would recommend: Batarian Soldier - one of the better ones really. IA interaction / inferno greandes and better stagger power than Krogan Soldier Krogan Battlemaster - Very durable, still vulnerable to syncs. Reegar obviously the easiest, but Venom is pretty funny v Cerberus. Valkyrie - Durable, has AF, good dodge, Warp for IA. Cabal - can be fairly straightforward if you skip PS and just spam focus. If you want to keep PS that is fine too. Talon is good but I don't like that character. Really any grenade focused character is ok. I think Vorcha are the most annoying race to solo with by a lot. Specific setups sort of depend on which faction you want to fight.

You did it on 28th April 2014 and it actually took 41:50, however you're still tied with evnltn for the fastest ever PS3 time on Reactor.

I did a plat solo at one point or another.
I liked to solo Fat Turian Soldier and Sentinel the most because they are Wonderful, but apart from the glorious turians, Asari Valkyrie, Asari Adept, and Asari Justicar form a trifecta of kits that aren't too reliant on weapons (as they all have extremely powerful biotics) and are very versatile as they're not reliant on grenades (in case you're on a non-grenade map) and they devastate both mooks and bosses.
The Drell Assassin Infiltrator and QME are far from personal favorites of mine but they're good kits to try as well, considering they both have super powerful AOE and Drell has tac cloak and speed bonuses.

STEAK!!!
I did Asari Valkyrie w/Talon on Thunderdome for my first one, I wouldn't recommend that if you just wanna get it done.
I've done 3 others on White/Cerberus, 2 with the Drell Assassin, 1 with the Asari Valkyrie. I'd suggest that map but Reapers as the enemy. Cerberus can be easy but they're fast, so they can swarm you if you're not careful. Hope you get it done!

I soloed Plat once using the Kro-guard and a...shotgun. Can't remember which one. Not a big fan of soloing, personally, so I haven't done it again.

Well, let's call that bolded part a slight understatement shall we...
Found BW/DI agains Collectors manageable, to the point of overtrivialised, even for a scrub like meself. Just focus aboms and, hey, no lolgoons (!!!) until w11 iirc

I have Soloed three times (in fact just finished my third just now...currently trying to work out where to put the details since the other thread on BSN by Loufi is shutting down)
1st: Geth Trooper Soldier - Giant/Cerb/Acolyte & Hurricane (Took 59min) 2nd: Batarian Brawler Vanguard - Giant/Cerb/Reegar (42min) 3rd: Krogan Battlemaster Vanguard - White/Geth/Reegar (46min)
Got to Wave 8 with a Volus Sentinel once. That was fun, but took about 1 hour to get there. Devastating to die after that long...

I never wanted the Plat Solo stamp, but a couple of times due to boredom, I went all the way with five seconds remaining, then quit.
First with human male engineer, second with Batarian soldier. Also started a Platinum PUG with the Volus engineer, and someone finally joined at wave 9. My AIDS was at maximum by that point.
