Lenny clearly you are a tryhard, using Snap Freeze to debuff armor on Plat. That makes it too easy. You need to play a real man's character like <insert list here, I will reject every one you use though for reasons>.
Oh and </sarcasm>. Obviously.
Sorry about your Upload. That does suck.

Congratulations to SPARKMAN, THE ABSOLUTE LEGEND OF THE NEW BSN, THE FIRST PLATINUM SOLO PLAYER EVER IN THE HISTORY.
I'm really sorry for all other players who need to wait at least until next BioWare title with a horde mode to claim being first in doing anything. Seriously, if I was a girl I would come to any Sparkman threads just to have a shot at catching his attention.

That does suck.I think he will be the first non-stealth solo. Snap Freeze plus Sustained Fire is too stronk. freezem, hurricanem, flakem = dead beserker. Plus Combat Fitness is the strongest passive for non-stealth. 200 DR at low health means you have get out of jail free cards, basically. time to retreat and dump some Siphon rounds once your shields are coming back up.

Pfft, Hurrdurricane is a crutch weapon. Siphon is a crutch weapon.
Git gud at Plat and show me a solo without your crutches.
</sarcasm> again but not that different from what people will say.

Not here to knock the work, good job I guess. But is no one else bored that cloaking characters are always being used? I'd really love to see a batarian or architect gold/platinum solo. and no I wont do one... solo time = less money. Batarian Gold solo

Sparky is a good player and I've played with him (we were in party chat yesterday) a few times but nothing is impressive about an angara avenger solo on any difficulty level.
My first attempted solo with nade spam and stealth grid with kishock/hurricane siphons made it to wave 4 requiring only one gel as a hydra hit me out of nowhere. I used 2 rockets on the final boss blaze hydra wave two to speed it up. But it was just easy. Got uploads on wave 4 and was fucked. Its all about getting the right objectives with this character.
This again is not a knock on sparky who is the best player in the top 10 apex on psn besides myself.

Man I had a fuckin BALLER 3 rounds with Batarian on solo Aqua/Plat/Kett but then fucking Upload on wave 4. I was SO FUCKING PISSED. Full consumables after 3 rounds, I was ecstatic. Straight into rage alt+F4 You tanking the ledge with that?

Second attempt wave 6 uploads. Patience has run out...
I fucked up wave five though...ended up using 3 gels. Didn't realize that purple hydra shoots at you and kills you instantaneously if you shoot at it out of cover. No time to even move. I was in very good shape before that.
Kishock is the way to go for aqua solos IMHO....its nasty...

I am disappointed. There are not enough people pooh-poohing these solos for using crutches like the Hurrdurricane and smart cowardly tactics like holding a defensive position camping.

This again is not a knock on sparky who is the best player in the top 10 apex on psn besides myself. It still takes VERY solid game play with very little room for error and a lot of patience. I will try it this weekend (w/Avenger). If I succeed, it will be very slow.

Move to the next cover and so on. When you sit in the lz on aqua the enemies swarm you. Cloak and ump over them then nade spam a cluster of them. Move to your left then kishock one of two then move towards the waterfall doing the same. Its not overly difficult. Just requires good objectives.

If it's so easy, where is your platinum solo vid? PS: (I am not knocking your gameplay as I know you are a great player, but if you trivialize something, you need to back it up)

Can we agree that no solo is easy and requires a certain level of skill, knowledge and attention? I mean - even on bronze you are killed with the strongest character out there if running around brainlessly thinking no cover is required! It's not a matter of minutes but of seconds.
Ask ANY new player starting with bronze and they will tell you how hard the beginning and hence learning curve is. It was the same for us. The increases in difficulty from level to level are significant and only cause some of us have invested hundreds! of hours to master the game doesn't mean the game itself became easy now.
It's the combination of experience, long practice and an advanced manifest which let "appear" the gaming more easy now than in the beginning along with having had some significant buffs. But still it's not really easy. A little bit of inattention, one or two mistakes and each game can turn into a nightmare - in seconds! Still!
It still takes a decent cooperating team to run home each game, even more on gold and platinum. Soloing it is the highest challenge out there currently cause you can't really allow for mistakes which with a team backing you up in many cases can be straightened out. Alone you are alone.
Even the best players know that. Pretending everything is easy-peasy, a no-brainer whatsoever is (imho) both trying fishing for compliments by trivializing a very challenging task and also trying to make look everybody else like a helpless idiot/absolute noob only cause they/we are not as capable finishing the task. Self-display in a very mean and obvious manner.
Maybe it's only the difference of the 0.1% best of the best compared to the broader average joe-player like me and many others here but even a Usain Bolt has the decency to NOT TELL every normal sports man how easy it is/was to break another 100m world record and that basically everybody could do it! A Usain knows things like that and possesses the pudency to not exhibit his superiority at every opportunity.

No we can't agree. Soloing plat is easy as shit with an angara avenger. I just did it 8 minutes quicker than sparky using stealth and nade spam on the same map. I'll post the video in a few hours when it.
This was my 4th attempt because the other three I got screwed by objectives (one in wave 6!).

If you have leet aim, which I do not, you can probably do this under 30 minutes with the kishock and bunching techniques with made spam...
