I want to know if anyone has done it and what are the strategies, before I try to solo the daily Platinum Apex mission on Firebase Zero again  |

With a stealth class upload is pretty simple. You just go to the one where the enemies aren't and once finished go to the next one.

Hack is a bit more tricky. I always panic that the timer is going to run out.

When cloak duration is over or when reapplying Stealth Grid the enemies get into the circle before it's finished. Especially Wraiths, who seem to track you down regardless if you're cloaked or not. |

Wait till your cloak is almost over, step out of circle and use SG again, then re-enter the circle, this usually does the trick for me. Again, I believe it largely depends on the location of the circle, certain hack locations are just (imo) impossible to solo, because no matter how hard you try, that location always gets swarmed in seconds. I'd say, pray for the RNG and curse the bad designs of this game  . |

Non-stealth grid or cloak characters will have a very difficult time on non-devices/retrieval Platinum objectives. A character that could do it needs high DOS and crowd-control abilities or a power like barricade that can completely block one of the hack/upload entrances (there are usually two, sometimes three entrances).
You might get lucky if one or more of the boss units gets stuck spawning. Think the Progenitor at the landing pad on Sandstorm. But you would still have to deal with the other two Destroyers, Hydras, Ascendants, etc. that will be rushing your non-cloaked character into the circle.
I am not saying it's impossible, but a lot of things have to fall in your favor for you to pull it off. One of my ME:A bucket list items is to solo Platinum with a non-cloak/Stealth Grid character but the farthest I have gotten is Wave 3 due to terrible objectives on Wave 2 wasting all of my consumables (boss, hack, upload and devices where an Ascendant was parked right on top of the first device). I may just have to suffice soloing Platinum with my grenade spamming Avenger.
