Hack.
As in a Platinum Wave 6 Hack.
Human Kineticist on Firebase Sandstorm. Equipped the Revenant Siphon X (Barrel and Heavy Mag) and the Sandstorm Siphon X (Barrel and Receiver). Got to Wave 6 with 2 Revive Packs and First Aid Kits (stupidly lost 2 Revive Packs at the end of Wave 5). Usually that’s plenty if the objective is Devices or Retrieval. But, with Hack, it’s game over.

Now I have to solo that Gold... I'd be more motivated if Lone Wolf was still a thing. Or if hacks/uploads didn't count backwards when not active.

We can have our own Lone Wolf banner! But this one has a Platinum Badge for soloing Platinum to go alone with the usual Bronze, Silver, and Gold badges.

Timely...
Was on wave 6. Solo bronze for dailies with human engineer. When beerfish join to help finish wave. Beerfish joined with other pugs on the next match as I casually worked on my charger weapon grind.

One word: Exhausting
I like soloing, and 7 waves is a lot easier than 11 (ME3). It just takes so long... I like to do Bronze or Silver solos to do the dailies for Biotic, Combat, or Tech powers. Occasionally I end up doing a Gold solo when someone's connection craps out. Last week I found myself alone as a Kroguard on a Gold Outlaw/Sandstorm on Wave 5 after the host DC'd. I was really glad when I drew Pizza delivery, as the Kroguard moves along pretty well. The extraction was a bitch; I stayed at the other end of the map until 15 seconds to go. All the enemies, including 2 Hydras and 2 Berserkers were clustered around the Extraction Zone. I jumped in with 6 seconds to spare, and had to use 2 First Aid packs to survive. Pretty exciting stuff for a game that has gotten panned by the critics.
Gold and Plat solos take a lot of time and patience, as I have learned from watching you! I'm not sure I want to go for 45 minutes or more without a break, but it sure is fun when you succeed!

I could certainly try to be more aggressive (Pota Pota style), but I would have a lot more failures than successes. How come the enemies didn't try to rush your position during Extraction?

In the last wave I stayed up on the roof (your favorite place), and got swarmed several times, forcing me to move. It seemed that during the last minute a big swarm of the enemies spawned right next to the LZ. I thought it was weird that I had no resistance until I got to the roof top jump point, and saw them all around the LZ with less than 10 secs to go. I used Charge on one of the redbars to get to the LZ, and found I still had 6 seconds left. Time for the RPGs and First Aid packs!

Don’t forget that Nova gives you invulnerability frames when you are coming down to smack the ground. That’s good for maybe 2 seconds of survival here too.
I’ve taken to killing as few enemies as possible. That way, I know exactly where they are on the map during extraction. Nothing to surprise me when I reach the LZ.

Suckernaut
Scath got a sinking sensation as soon as he had boarded the derelict Kett vessel, the atmosphere felt off.
A few days ago, he had gotten a vid from Vanelsa, a character he had met on Kadara, who was no less shady than he was dangerous. He had no scruples and took almost any contract for any reward: credits, salvage and whatnot, even clean water or a live Asari. But Vanelsa had also proven to be somewhat unkillable - entire bases had tried - so when Scathane got his message for a joint contract, the least he could do was hear it out. It had been a vague message: "Meet me on this derelict Kett ship. All gold will be yours..."
Sucker that he was, Scath went to the provided coordinates to meet with Vanelsa, which - of course - was a mistake. Because Vanelsa wasn't there and the ship wasn't derelict...

Oh, I was there. Lurking in the shadows and always cloaked. I was evaluating your unique set off skills for a team that I am assembling. Your handling of the Kett demonstrated a good amount of aggression that I am looking for. Yet, your approach with the Hack and Devices objectives had a slight lack of impatience (see the first device) which gave me cause for concern. This could get us both killed if we team up. You do show promise, however, so I think we should continue communicating.
I have wired you some credits into your Bank of Andromeda account. Please stand by for further instructions.

Good job on the solo! What was your build? Did you just have one point in Shockwave, Snap Freeze, or Fortify? Liked how you mixed in melee from time to time to freeze red bars.
I think you could have frozen, but not killed enemies outside of the hack circle to prevent them from respawning. That might have made the hack go a little smoother.

You devil! #thx4thecreditstho I agree that I was a bit sloppy here and there (as in missing a few melees and jumping off the map) and that the Hack could use some work but I'll save the icicle-approach for Platinum. If I divide the Hack in two and - calmly and patiently - draw the enemy away once or twice, tanking the rest shouldn't be a problem with Juggs anymore... Edit: 1 point in Shockwave, as always. The rest I'd have to look up, since I haven't re-specced him in months...

Silhesh. As in Human Female Vanguard with the Silhesh (Rozerad as backup) on Platinum / Kett / Sandstorm. Objectives: Retrieval / Devices / Retrieval Gameplay Notes and Build: goo.gl/YK98pF- Charge: 4B 5A 6B
- Nova: 4A 5A 6A
- Shockwave: 1 point
- APEX Training: 4A 5A 6A
- Barrier: 4A 5B 6B
- Silhesh Siphon IV
- Rozerad Siphon VI
- Expert Package
- Pistol Rail Amp III
- Disruptor Ammo III
Differences from my Human Male Vanguard Platinum Solo included speccing in Targeting and Ammo instead of Combo Detonations and using Disruptor Ammo instead of Incendiary Ammo. Got saddled with Wave 6 Hack and Upload and a Wave 6 Boss that I was unable to finish in time. Tried to be a little more imaginative with gameplay, but settled back into the usual routine after some early Revive Pack usage (stupid Saboteurs and Ascendants). Decent time for me too (41:53) compared with a nearly one hour match with the Human Male Vanguard. Please enjoy!

As in my last several Wave 6 Platinum solo attempts.
Also Wave 4 Remnant is really hard to solo. So many things shooting at you: Observers, Blaze Hydra, Destroyers, and Anointed.
