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

It just takes practice and time. I’d focus on getting a character you really like to 20 and playing with him/her. And get at least one Siphon variant from the Uncommon pool of weapons to increase your survivability.

What packs gives out the +consumables? Obviously, the best two are First Aid Kids and Revive Packs. So, focus on whatever pack drops those too.

If you want to hunker down, find a group that does some Platinum farming on Paradox or Magma. Even low-level characters can pass that provided there’s someone to revive and do the objectives. Then, you’ll be flush with credits to buy packs, level up your characters and weapons.

The +1 consumables (up to 5) comes from packs, not from leveling up your characters.

Dude, unless you have really good guns, extracting with a level 3 Engineer on Bronze is not easy. You should give yourself more credit!

This time no one ruined my solo run, but I didn't recorded it because I expected someone will join...

Targets/Devices



Build: goo.gl/aRGcGT

Check that again...
Maxed manifest in late January or early February.

Forgot to add...
Spent 4 rockets on Behemoth and managed to kill it seconds before timer ran off, and spent last one on bugged Ascendant.
Also minimal usage of Stealth Grid.

I got lucky with a box. The only UR gun I've gotten and somehow I pulled the best one

but thanks! 

Scorpion.

Did a Gold solo using primarily the Scorpion (and Venom as backup) on Magma. Hid by the left rock outcropping for most of the match to maximize AOE action with both weapons.

Update: video added

Totally forgot about my one year anniversary solo. Finally uploaded it.
Bit chaotic, but I extracted without dying.

Easy

Bronze/Zero - Artificer lvl 10 with invasion maxed out - way too glass breaking, not much of a challenge especially when I paired with PAW Siphon

Did two Bronze runs with Kineticist for dailies. Used PAW only on bosses since I have Pull Shield stdip evo.

How did you feel it was? Easy-Mediocre-Hard?

good job soloing till Wave 4 with your Avenger! what map were you doing this on?

There is a wave budget on Platinum, but the exact mechanics have not been fully explored and documented. These are some notes from my many solo Platinum missions:

On the objective waves, i ignore killed anything (except for targets and an enemy that is in my way) until i have completed the objectives. For Hack and Upload, of course, get rid of anything trying to enter the circle, but good luck with that. There’s a reason why there are only a handful of successful Plat solo videos featuring Hack and Upload; they are really hard and almost impossible!

Kett

Wave 2 - Get rid of 6 Ascendants to remove them from the wave budget during the objective. I saw this on EclipseMerc’s Platinum Solo on Sandstorm Kett in a Wave 2 Hack.

Wave 3 - You have to dispatch anywhere between 23-30 enemies to deplete the wave budget. Some examples:

7 Observers, 3 Berserkers, 3 Saboteurs, 4 Anointed, 8 Destined,1 Ascendant = 26
7 Observers, 4 Berserkers, 2 Saboteurs, 8 Anointed, 2 Destined, 1 Ascendant = 24
15 Observers, 1 Berserker, 2 Saboteurs, 6 Anointed, 4 Destined, 1 Ascendant = 29

Wave 4 - I have never hit the spawn limit for Ascendants and Fiends on this level, but I think it’s over 4 for Fiends, I think.

Wave 5 - Kill 3 Behemoths and 3 Blaze Hydras if you want to deplete the wave budget quickly. I generally leave the Blaze Hydra for the end (after taking out its targeting eye with a Cobra). With my first Krogan Gladiator solo, I focused on Anointed:

1 Blaze Hydra, 3 Observers, 1 Behemoth, 18 Anointed, 5 Destined, 3 Saboteurs = 31 total enemies

Wave 6 - You probably won’t live long enough to hit the spawn limit for Berserkers, Behemoths, and Ascendants on a Wave 6 Hack or Upload. Only Pota Pota has been able to get a Wave 6 Hack done, and he didn’t survive to finish the match (Turian Havoc Trooper with the Rozerad Siphon).

Remnant

Wave 1 - I just focus on the Observers and Adhis. At the end, there will be 3 Saboteurs left.

Wave 3 - Eliminate 6 Berserkers and no more should respawn.

Wave 5: If you’re lucky to get the Progenitor to get stuck on spawn, you’ll fight dozens of Wraiths, Observers, and Saboteurs. This is easy to do from behind Building 37 on Sandstorm or in the Cave of Doom on Paradox.

Outlaws

i have the least experience with Outlaws on Platinum, but it appears that Berserkers’ spawn limits are much higher here than they are on Kett and Remnant Platinum. So, unless you have a character that can really handle them easily, you may find targeting the other enemies to be advisable.
