Servant of The People - Trio Challenges (Hardcore)

Phew, we started this challenge AGES ago... mid-November or so... we did challenges II and III back then (thanks Al, for writing up the first draft and the screenshots), so I don't remember that much about them, except that my recording software didn't work for these two sadly, so no videos.

I. The Fist of Lord Venom
Gold Objective: Mission successful on Firebase Dagger vs. Cerberus and 150 shotgun kills together
Characters and weapons:
Geth Infiltrator with Venom Shotgun: Al
Geth Engineer with Venom Shotgun: Fraggle
Geth Trooper with Venom Shotgun: Balbock
18:06 - Alfonsedode | Balbock | fraggleblabla [V]

Venom is OP and still a weird weapon to use, but it's hilarious to see enemies flying! And of course it's great against Phantoms But even then I didn't get my 50 Shotgun medals Al to the rescue who got 75!


II. A House Divided
Gold Objective: Mission successful on Firebase Glacier Hazard vs. Geth and 100 tech kills together
Characters and weapons:
N7 Paladin Sentinel (Shepard) with N7 Eagle : Fraggle
Geth Engineer (Legion) with Cerberus Harrier : Al
Krogan Soldier (Grunt) with M-300 Claymore : Balbock
16:30 - Alfonsedode | Balbock | fraggleblabla

I remember we had to redo this because I primed too much the first time The second time I held back with the priming and we made it. It was a lot of fun, even if it was on Glacier


III. We Don´t Feel Like Dancing
Gold Objective: Mission successful on Firebase Giant Hazard vs. Reapers and 5 waves survived
Geth Trooper with N7 Valkyrie: Al
Asari Vanilla Adept (Not the Justicar!) with M-6 Carnifex: Fraggle
Asari Valkyrie Sentinel with Disciple Shotgun: Balbock
20:55 - Alfonsedode | Balbock | fraggleblabla

I honestly remember nothing about this game


IV. Scout, Tank, Support
Gold Objective: Mission Successful on Firebase Reactor Hazard vs. Collectors and 50 weapon kills each
Characters and weapons:
Volus Protector Vanguard with Reegar Carbine: Al
Drell Adept with Cerberus Harrier: Fraggle
Geth Juggernaut Soldier with Prothean Particle Rifle: Balbock
18:38 - Alfonsedode | Balbock | fraggleblabla [V]

That was the second try, short of AR medals the first time (which was a long time ago ). So some new strategy had to be made (not too much Reave for me ). And it went so well... then I sadly had to go AFK during W9, and I thought that I would never make it with the AR kills needed, but I returned in W10 while both Al and me had bled out in W9 and Bai had to clutch And then with like 20 seconds left during extraction I got my 50 AR kills! That was such a close one... and I'm glad it's done

Thank you, Al, for asking us if we wanted to do those challenges, it was fun

Ass paramater not registred as pertinent for the mission outcome

But I absolutely cannot remember anything anyway from this game, it's weird. Like... completely blank in my mind, not even the screenshots rang a bell
