Many people love the Human Sentinel, but I don’t count myself among them. I prefer the mobility provided by the Asari Sentinel's Backlash and 100 evade DR to the Human's stationary Barricade and no evade DR.
I wanted to get this Platinum Solo done with as quickly as possible, but objective RNG had other plans. My first three attempts ended with Wave 6 Hacks or Uploads. The next day, I got four consecutive Wave 2 Hacks. I even failed a Devices objective when I tried to deploy a barricade with no power cells left (use those ammo packs!).
So, when the Platinum daily mission appeared the other day with the Go For the Eyes mission modifier (200% weak point bonus but with -50% weapon damage) on Firebase Sandstorm against Kett, I jumped at the chance to finish this solo. My very first Platinum solo (using the Human Juggernaut) was done this way. If you’re looking to complete one yourself, this is the map, faction, and modifiers to do it on.
Objectives: Devices / Retrieval / Boss
Gameplay notes and build: goo.gl/NdL7cY
I had specced and re-specced the Human Sentinel many times to find a play style that suited me. I tried the Electric Barricade and the Regeneration Barricade, but I found the utility not worth spending all the way to Rank 6. In my previous attempts, I was playing the Sentinel as a combo detonator with elemental ammo, Throw, and Energy Drain.
Because of the modifiers on this mission, I relied more on the Shorty. With a Shotgun Rail Amp IV (+40%) and a Universal Power Amp IV (+20%), I compensated for the negative -50% weapon damage modifier. A 10% boost to my Shorty Siphon I and my Dhan Concussive VII along with the massive weak point bonus meant enemies were dropping very quickly. The Dhan was especially powerful, but I miss a lot with that weapon in the heat of battle, so I stuck primarily with the Shorty. I didn’t even have to use my customary Cobra RPG to take out the Blaze Hydra’s targeting eye on Wave 5. Such is the power of the 200% weak point damage modifier!
