And now for something very different. A Platinum Solo from inside the impenetrable Kinetic Glass Room on Firebase Zero!
All the Angara Avenger wanted to do was check her email before leaving Firebase Zero to return to the Nexus. She retreated into the Kinetic Glass Room as Platinum Outlaws arrived, giving her time to send those last messages to her friends and family. Every enemy — Hydras, Berserkers, Observers, Anointed, Saboteurs, Destined, and even Adhis — tried their best to disrupt her screen time. Despite their combined and overwhelming firepower, they couldn’t make a single dent in the glass door separating them from the Avenger. On the other hand, her Dual Scattershots were equipped with Receiver Mods that allowed her to shoot through the glass. Avenger Strike was used to exit the room before the start of the three objectives waves and at extraction.
Objectives: Devices / Boss / Retrieval
Build: goo.gl/RNm9Gh
Months ago, I came across this post and video about the Kinetic Glass Room on Firebase Zero. I had accidentally glitched into other parts of Zero before, but never before in this room. Even with practice, it’s tricky to get into the room; watch the original video to get a sense for where and when you need to jump between the wall and the machine. You can practice on the Tutorial Mission before trying this out in a real solo.
Once you’re in, you’re completely protected from enemy fire as long as you stay away from the glass door. If you’re fighting Platinum Remnant or Kett, you do have to worry about Nullifiers and the Ascendants Orb attacks. The Human Guardian or Asari Duelist can neutralize those attacks with Backlash, but those two characters are weaker at handling objectives than the Avenger. With Platinum Outlaws, you only have to worry about the Ascendant on Wave 6.
The only characters that can complete a Platinum solo while staying inside the room for the majority of the time are the Asari Duelist, Human Guardian, and Angara Avenger. Other characters need an Adhi to pull them out of the room, and Adhis disappear from Platinum Outlaws and Remnant after Wave 2 (coming back on Wave 6 and 7 respectively). Once inside, the Duelist and Guardian can Biotic Blink out of the room, while the Avenger uses Avenger Strike to exit.
As with all Platinum Solos, you have to get lucky with the objectives. In this solo, only the Boss objective was moderately challenging. Honestly, I think getting into the Kinetic Glass Room was harder.
Please enjoy!
