Capn233's Operation Alliance troopers solo serie on gold

Mission 10 – Fists of Fury
Location: Sur’Kesh (Jade)
Enemy: Cerberus
Parameters: Human Adept with Wraith or Falcon. 25 Melee Kills and 50 biotic kills required.
41:56 - Alfonsedode (275252 pts)
man that one was hard... i had many tries. Started fancy and going for 50 melee kills, and full biotic, and progressively added ops packs and fitness and just tried to stay alive all time . Some waves are incredibly tough without geth scanner ! Always flanked, always ending up in a turret. Never saw as many turrets as W7 on jade... And nemesis on that map ...

Mission 11 – Hybrid Synergy
Location: Menae (Condor)
Enemy: Collectors
Parameters: Human Vanguard with Talon. 25 Tech Kills and 25 Biotic Kills Required.
44:02 - Alfonsedode (216725 pts)

i thought i would get the 25 tek kills without having to grind, just trying to TB each talon shot, well ... no .

Mission 12 is Hsol with dakadaka and 10 ws on london reapa. i forsee some ravagers ...

Targets/Devices/Devices

Since I have/had a couple of free days I felt the itch to come back to the series. With some motivation from muahmuah and Sonashii , I got through N5 even quicker than expected. Just so everybody knows: I was promised a regular Glacier run if I managed N5.III yesterday, Thunderdome if I failed and London/Geth if I hid, all of that with muah. So I did it, yet I had to go through a Thunderdome and didn't get my Glacier run Jokes aside, it was still fun!

Bray-fist was relatively easy, I think I actually did it on my first try, doesn't happen very often to me
Kill them was another thing though, had a couple of fails, until I figured out it's much easier when I'm not standing still ALL the time. But another fun challenge imo, I like the Hunter and the Executioner Pistol is a fun weapon.

The last one turned out to be more difficult than first expected. Mostly because it took me some time to realize I should go for grabs and then some more time to figure out how to grab on Goddess... But when I had that figured out, it worked out. I had another run, where I got 20 headshots in wave 1, too bad I scrubbed it up afterwards.
Nonetheless and despite the sort of long time, I'm proud of this run. First I failed to switch targets which is nothing to be proud of, I know, but I think the missile wasn't placed that bad and should've killed that Atlas. That meant 4 more Atlas in wave 3 and they took their time to take out. Then devices for waves 6 and 10 with some real bad placements. Also I found out that you can disable one of the devices through the wall in wave 6 and forgot about it in wave 10...
Another N-rank achieved N6 and N7 will take me a lot of time and patience though

Mission 2 - Hearts and Minds:

42:10 - frank_is_crank [v]

Mission 3 - Force Multiplier:

44:44 - frank_is_crank [v]

I had countless W1/W2 ragequits and a couple painfull W10/W11 fails. 2 is just Cerb beeing Cerb and 3 was mostly running around Goddess trying to avoid crossfire.
But both may be easier than 10 an 11 for me at least.

I am looking to redo some of the N7 challenges; some of my times are downright embarrassing. Which is a good motivator to get back to a disciplined training regimen, since this game does not contribute to a healthy blood pressure.

Nice W10 devices !

It's already been some time since all this happened, but Balbock and I teamed up with our lovely resident carrot SenorZanahoria to do some trio challenges for...

Project Blackwatch - Trio Missions (Hardcore)

l. Decibel
20:46 - Balbock | fraggle [v] | SenorZanahoria
Targets / Delivery / Escort

We might have to redo this one, because none of us knew whether the Adas TSol with Incendiary Ammo counts as Incendiary glitch... Can anyone in here help us figure this out? In case it's considered as the glitch, we'll gladly redo this challenge.
Other than that this was a rather relaxing match in London vs. Toasters, apart from one of the objective waves


ll. Silenced Banshees
24:00 - Balbock | fraggle [v] | SenorZanahoria
Devices / Devices / Devices (no comment...)

We did this challenge twice because we didn't meet the requirements in the first try. Also, Senor got hugged twice in the first game, and he made a better figure in the 2nd - and no one will ever know what happened before.
...
Oops


lll. Anti-gravity
18:59 - Balbock | fraggle [v] | SenorZanahoria
Delivery / Escort / Targets

Nothing to say here, really... everything just died quickly thanks to Baibai's and Senor's fast headshotting and skills. Nicely done and we won. That's... everything somehow. Apart maybe from Bai and me spectacularly not making it to the EZ in time... Sorry, got cornered there at the end...

Thank you guys, had a blast with you in those trios, and who knows, maybe there are more to come. I'd totally be up for it

doh, Smehur: I hope I'm tagging the right persons.
If I'm not mistaken, there's a mistake in the order of the HoF for N6.I (gold). Around the 34 minutes mark, DJ39H should be two spots higher, I think?

I guess you were right, especially about Ash being frustrating.

Objects/Hack/Escort

I've been looking forward to Archangel for quite some time. Love the kit and weapon, sadly it took me a bit long.
Check out that cleanup missile on wave 10 in Next of Kin! Despite that, it's a manageable challenge, even though Collectors can ruin the fun quite fast with their swarms/plagues and Captains.
And then there was Ash... I tried really hard one day, because I did the first two challenges on the same day and I thought it'd be cool if I'd manage Ash as well. Well, it didn't work, but I got a feeling for the challenge. For all my tries I used about 50 Disrupter Ammo 4 rounds, many of them lost in wave 1 ragequits after dying like a pro, trying to go for grabs, or enemies blocking each other so I couldn't grab them
Biggest problems for me, were getting to wave 2, surviving wave 4 and not messing up everything on wave 7 with all those Combat Engineers / Turrets , also Devices of course.
I had one extraction wave fail, because one stupid decision, and I think two/three wave 10 (one post-objective) fails, all the other attempts ended MUCH earlier.
After a break of a few days to prevent more rage , it went by fairly smoothly.
