***Your Last Solo in One Word***

Hack.

As in Wave 6 Hack. Had another Wave 6 Boss objective where I couldn’t take down the Behemoth in time. This is getting frustrating!

Easier.

Human Female Adept got great objectives in completing another Platinum solo. Tried it on Zero and got to Wave 5, and went back to Sandstorm. I’m two away from finishing solos with the duplicate Human characters (Sentinel and Infiltrator remain). Don’t want to leave them out!

Update: Link to video and notes.

Done.

Human Female Sentinel (Sandstorm Kett) and Human Male Infiltrator (Icebreaker Kett) are in the bag. Sadly, my Human Female Sentinel video will not be as exciting as a prior failed attempt where I successful completed a Wave 2 Hack only to die on the Wave 4 Retrieval objective! Too impatient going to the second package and everyone joined me in the little room.

All duplicate Human characters are done, which means I've truly soloed with every character in MEAMP. I can now rest.

One word: Successful!

Many more words: I managed my first Gold Solo yesterday - and then I pulled off another one early this morning. I've been playing for a while, so I have pretty good stuff - Angara Avenger VIII, Black Widow IV, Hesh Siphon. Watching Vanelsa's vids, I learned The Algorithm for Sandstorm (thanks for the vids!) and it was pretty manageable, actually! Grenade Capacity, Combat Power Amp II and Cyclonic Mod III in the first one - wave 3 Boss and wave 6 devices. I spammed Cobras on the Behemoth and for most of the rest of the match I could just run The Algorithm and by playing tight and careful I made it out with heals and rez's to spare (plus some rockets and ammo packs too).

In the second game I wanted a bit more punch on my Hesh, so I brought Incendiary Ammo II instead of the Cyclonic Mod. Wave 3 Hack and Wave 6 Boss, but the Hack was in a very favorable position - the most defensible position on the map, The Algorithm's start point. I spammed ammo packs to fuel an endless barrage of Stickies and then in wave 6 I again spammed the heck out the Behemoth with Cobras (plus Stealth Grid makes Black Widow head shots pretty manageable). Made it out with heals and rez's (and others) to spare once more.

I've soloed Silver with non-Stealth characters (Juggernaut, Human Soldier, Human Guardian) and it is tough. I'm not sure how I'd get through Gold without the incredibly powerful combination of Stickies and Stealth Grid, but you gotta start somewhere, haha.

Well, Juggy and Guardian are my best overall non-stealth characters, but I bet I pull it off with Human Soldier first. A couple of lucky objectives combined with spammable powers will probably do it. Juggy (and Guardian) are great and more consistent, but the Soldier can randomly be more amazing - it is hard to beat the DPS of an ammo-pack fueled grenade barrage.

Yeah, she’s also great. I usually go into Turbocharge instead of Singularity on her just because I Singularity’d a lot with the Adepts, but it might be better for solos. Don’t know yet...

Once you get your characters to XX and a good Siphon variant, I think you’ll find Gold to be easier than in ME3MP. At least that’s been my experience. Keep at it and you’ll be joining the Gold solo club in no time!

Faster.

As in about 40 minutes faster than my previous Krogan Gladiator Platinum Solo. The PAW is overpowered and I’m much better executing my strategy on Sandstorm against Kett. A little dicey near the end with the third Wave 6 device at the worst possible location (LZ, right next to the second device), but she got it done. Video forthcoming (will post in the hall of fame thread).

Yeah, PAW is pretty beastly now!

Devices!

As in Wave 6 Devices. Had. Wave 2 Boss and I made the decision to conserve my Cobras because of an earlier failed Wave 6 Boss (Wave 4 Boss depleted my Cobras). Device locations were decent, even with ones at the LZ and Building 8.

P.A.W. is more fun to use than the Rozerad, IMO. Doesn’t have the damage but is so much more accurate and with a huge clip. Valkyrie also very good now that the clip is so big (can equip the receiver mod without penalty).

Unintentional Silver/Derelict.
Pugs joined for second game.
