I’ve left (for now) the familiar confines of Firebase Sandstorm to solo Platinum on other maps in Andromeda. Here’s the Human Guardian defending the eezo mining facility at Firebase Zero. This is a much smaller map than Sandstorm, which made for an overall quicker run. On the other hand, the Devices objective was considerably more difficult.
Objectives: Boss / Devices / Devices
Gameplay Notes and Build: goo.gl/pR7SuH
The back of the map and the room right next to the landing zone were the two positions that I defended on Zero. The Human Guardian’s ability to blink through walls allowed him to quickly move between these two spots.
Most of my attempts were actually done with the Shorty, another shotgun (Crusader, Scattershot, and Dhan), and a Shotgun Rail Amp III. In my last attempt, I switched to the Rozerad and Disruptor Ammo for a little more crowd control. I found both builds to be equally viable.
Objectives
In one of my first attempts, I got Devices on Wave 6, but it was located in the interior room outside my starting position at the end of the alleyway. I wasn’t patient enough and blinked into a room full of enemies. Mission failed. Subsequent attempts featured Wave 6 Uploads and Hacks, which like on any map, are all but impossible for most characters.
On my successful run, I had Devices on Waves 4 and 6. The first two devices were right next to each other on Wave 4, which almost spelled doom if the enemies had converged on my location a second sooner than they did. I got staggered by a Berserker’s Flak Cannon on the first device on Wave 6, and I still don’t know how I was able to get out of that crowd of enemies. Before capping the second device, I used my last Revive Kit, so the mission turned into One Life to Live.
By contrast, the Boss objective on Wave 2 was much easier. I only used two Cobras, while mixing in Warp and Shorty blasts at the Behemoth.
With no gels left on extraction, my stress levels were raised exponentially. Good thing that I had some First Aid Kits in reserve in case an Anointed got a bead on me.
Please enjoy!
