just under 17 minutes. Dampened Powers Apex Paradox. not really a speed run due to dampened powers, but not bad for negative modifiers. 2x Scrappers and 2x Avengers. We keep running Apex for the extra credits... 2 Avengers lowers your DPS. The problem is, we usually split the A team in half, and the B team can't run non cloak quite yet. They will get there... We had some fun last night running the duel Human Sentinel barricade set ups you suggested. The Plat Apex they gave us is a 100% perfect fit for it.

Did it on Zero thanks to your video. slightly faster. Will try Lennybusker's Icebreaker next. Please keep these solo vids coming. they're LEGIT tutorials and you people are my personal heroes! Very nice. I want to play kett but I think wave 5 has 3 blaze hydras and 3 behemoths which are going to be a PITA to kill. I'd have to save all my rockets and nades just for the behemoths...or leave them until last.... Did Lennybusker's map. I'm afraid of the kett one you're working on now. Finally got the rank VI card for th Avenger, so question: did you spec into Weapons or Powers in the apex training?

Someone on reddit claimed he sub 11 a play while pugging Its almost 2 minutes and 43 seconds from when you kill the last enemy in wave 6 and it says wave completed to to get into the lobby (there is extra time run off after you get on the shuttle) We do wave one in about 1 minute regularly (55s is really fast) so thats 3 minutes and 43 seconds just for waves 1 and the end of 6 to the lobby. So he beat waves 2-6 in under 7 minutes and 17 seconds while doing 3 objectives with pUGs. Thats a minute and 27 seconds per round waves 2-6. Not to mention, every round you end, you have to wait about 15 seconds for the enemies to spawn in (after it says wave completed).... so thats really 1 minute and 12 seconds per wave waves 2-6. I'd have to see video to believe it. I call bullshit. Some people count the time it takes them to get to the extraction wave. Maybe this is what the person meant. We kill shit so fast, its hard to see shaving 3 minutes off our time. We even spread out for devices at times and during them will weaken all the bosses but leave them alive. Once the objective is done finish them so they don't respawn and still aren't even close to that time... Never soloed, but did one of apex missions with pubbers in less than 11 minutes. www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/6nkydj/a_simple_idea_for_a_platinum_buff_ammo_boxes/dkalf4v,

We had some fun last night running the duel Human Sentinel barricade set ups you suggested. The Plat Apex they gave us is a 100% perfect fit for it. How long is the barricade farming taking on sandstorm? we ranged 18-22 minutes with most around 20 minutes. It would be MUCH better/faster with a Scrapper and Avenger. Problem was we only had 2 people (out of 5) comfortable not being a stealth kit. Buckeye is on a college visit (our youngster) so we are without one A-teamer for a few days. It is really easy though and a nice break from doing the same thing all the time.

Person is full of it for the aforementioned reasons. Actually, I've done a PUG platinum that extracted in sub 11 mins. It was derelict/remnant. However, it was clearly a hacked game. Enemies had much less hit points...not low enough to die with one shot from any weapon or skill but were one shot with nades, the dhan I was using, etc. Probably enemy life set to around 1K hit points? Squaddies could still die and the host did many times. Everything else seemed normal. Host left after the match.

I can't imagine playing her on plat! Every enemy beyond the dogs would laugh at my vortex and use a million ways to kill me. Lol. Oh god, no vortex and no shield powered lance on platinum (use draining field)and dogs almost install me when they jump into me The problem with SPL is 80% of the enemies don't die when you lance combo them. So you just shield yourself and let the enemies kill you. Not enough to lift for vortex. I planned on posting my sari adept build later. Wanted to get somegameplay clips with her but the last two games I took her on I think I was getting 10frames per second, it was horrible, I died from things I couldn't see and there were two-constacloaked avengers sending all the agro at me and poor varnigus on zero. It was a rough game. Constantly surrounded by 15 enemies every 3 seconds. I'll never use her with more than one cloak in the game again... Her DPS is fine though.

Squaddies could still die and the host did many times. Everything else seemed normal. Host left after the match. I figured it went without saying that the title of the thread means "What is your fastest legitimate platinum times?" I just left the word out. I would also think remnant would take a little longer. Destroyers/progenitors are bullet sponges. We ran a game with 4x reegars and disruptor vs remnant on zero. It was pretty easy. We ran around and it felt like silver. I used my second soldier specced for shield concussive shot and shield grenades (just for remmy).

Although I'm not convinced that she won't become dog meat the moment she steps into a plat game. I might need an Insurgent or Operator to be my personal shield boost slave to survive and actually dish out that DSP. 😜 TIA for the guide.

I imagine it'd be really confusing if this were someone's first plat game and then they play a normal one and ask themselves "what happened?" There are individual toggles and multipliers for all kinds of things. I only play vanilla games but it's possible to dial everything down to make the game easier, or you can even modify it to make it harder by setting something like 0.8x damage done, 1.5x damage received, 1.2x game speed, 0.8x walk/run speed.

Half-PUGged last night's APEX with my brother and got 21:43. Not breaking any records, but I would take that all day.
We ran x3 Soldiers (Turian [me], and my bro and another on Human) with an Avenger. It was pretty strange to be the only one who got a Gold kill medal but end up third in points (by a small bit). I guess I slacked on objectives.

Offtopic: Great video for showing what I suspected. The ammo refill is screwed now. You clearly run to ammo boxes that didn't get refilled when the next wave started, or they are shared now. Biowar PLZ.
