I do get people joining my in progress at times, other times no. k. i got nothing else. *shrug* previously would mention firewall and shits, but considering it's on and off, that's unlikely. could be just a general low-pop/off time/timezone experience. in a similar boat myself. can be going around for days with noone joinging. then have a bunch of full games all of a sudden.

No one joins my matches, must be my deodorant or lack there of. at least if you're me, you'll eventually have someone drop in at the end of w10 or w11, to deny you the Solo challenge. Especially love it when it happens on Plat. I wish the game would just not let people join at that point, if its after w9 or so.

Chasing AF and Phalanx points landed me there. Not often i get to pull w10/w11 off with no consumables left. Valkyrie FTW, Eclipse does train them good.

My solo went surprisingly well.
Wasn't suppose to be a solo, I couldn't find a pug lobby so I made one myself, and started up and assume people will just join in later, which ended up never happening. So I ended up soloing a 58 min gold game with collectors on firebase reactor while playing the Geth Juggernaut.
Pretty proud of myself despite the length of the solo, because I used to struggle with collectors when I played the GJ in the past, so doing as well as I did while only dying once the entire time felt pretty good.

What's the secret to soloing Gold with the Big Slow 'Bot?
I still get surprised by the steep difficulty scaling. Bronze solo - barely see his shields move. I can (and have!) Hex Shielded my way through games (ok, till I get the 25K). Silver solo - mostly shrug. But eventually at higher waves, especially if not strategically positioning, there are time when I start thinking, "hmm, I may go down if I don't use an Ops pack". And I get nervous when I start getting crab stun locked. Gold solo - 6,7,8 things hitting me at once, I eventually go down and start using all my gels.

What's the secret to soloing Gold with the Big Slow 'Bot? I'd say equipping AM3, sticking to cover, throwing turret close by, especially after it restored shields, equipping a potent geth weaponry like GPS or Javelin (though I usually go with Spitfire unless using Siege Pulse FEs/TBs spam build). If survivability is not enough by then, evolve Siege for damage protection and more charges. Keep away from multiple bosses, dispatch mooks if possible, since their bites usually keep shields from recharging, negate stunlock with light melees. Small shield is usually enough to defend from attacks and it can hold off a couple of praetorian lasers, enough to get out of its sight. Also, don't stand too close to the shield, otherwise scions and ravagers will still cause damage.
But that's just my opinion, any correction is welcome.

Thanks for the feedback! AM3 - that's what I use for PUG's. For solo, I'll choose a small map and Cyclonic. But I do miss the speed.
"Sticking to cover" - If only he could But yeah, I get your point is about soft cover. Siege Pulse - I always set for DR with extra charge. Wondered if most here thought I was sacrificing too much offense with that, plus Hardened Platform 6b shields (-15% dmg). light melee countering stunlock - wasn't aware of this, are you saying I can break crab stunlock with this? Please more detail on this! Weapon - haven't really settled on one for solo's. GPSG with melee+barrel? Talon with power+stunner? Spitfire? Haven't settled.
I do already try to practice your other points

I always set for DR with extra charge. Wondered if most here thought I was sacrificing too much offense with that. I mostly use one of two builds - one more tanky with DR/Extra charge Pulse armed with Spitfire, other combo-oriented with damage/recharge armed with pulse rifle, depending on what sort of damage I want to focus on. Neither uses rank 6 for hardened platform and I take melee evolution on 5 for some more situational speed. As such, it won't be a sacrifice in offence if you compensate it with a more powerful weapon.
This depends on what you feel better with. Personally, I'd never put a melee enhancing mod on him since it's not often that I use heavy melee for prolonged shield recharge or for kills other than finishing off. Light melee when used in time with enemy attack does indeed counter stunlock, very useful especially against those whose melee is predictable, like Atlas' swing or banshee's nova. Just use it right before the attack hits you. Crab's attacks are quick and numerous but I think it is possible to use light melee to get away from those as well. But still, I think it's better not to let them close and take any means to keep it at distance, like shooting its mouth or simply walk up to it to get it grounded and then quickly retreat.

What's the secret to soloing Gold with the Big Slow 'Bot? I'll add a couple things to what is already mentioned about soloing with the GJ. I will say movement around the map is important even more so on a slow moving character incapable of sprinting, knowing where to move around the map and use its terrain to your advantage (Abusing pillars, tall walls, etc for right hand advantage) Be careful of long range enemy units, ravagers, atlases, scions, geth prime (To a lesser extent but still good to out range the primes as well) but the former 3 are quite deadly to the GJ. I like using hex shield/geth turret or both when i'm on my last charge of siege pulse, if anything it's to throw off the enemy or give them some trouble getting to you, while you're on that long siege pulse cooldown. ^ Idk if that would apply to you, it would depend on your build, and if you do bother to spend those siege pulse charges or keep them on permanently for the DR. Whereas in my case I like using them offensively and use them detonate for FEs, also I take the resistance damage instead of the extra charge and the recharge speed instead of DR. Speaking of siege pulse it's not a bad choice as well, to expend them on mooks, it'll stagger them giving you time to line up a headshot on your weapon of choice. Heavy melee is still good even if you're not a predominately heavy melee oriented GJ. You can at least use the heavy melee the mooks to temporarily put them on the ground (Heavy melee for a lil bit then let go is what I meant), to buy you time to give you distance between them. Especially useful to dispatch phantoms because of on host DR, they're frail when they are on the ground which better than them flipping for 10 years. I'd say this tip would be more useful on the wider hex shield, you can use the hex shield in a way to protect yourself from receiving enemy damage in the background. For example you could be facing a phantom advancing to melee at you, but you're also within line of sight of a cerberus turret and couple centurions and troopers. If you put a hex shield in front of those enemies's line of sight, you can have free rein on the phantom that's right in front of you. Hex shield to the side of a ladder you wanna climb, so climb up the ladder without receiving as much damage in the process. Hex shield is good form of RHA you can abuse as well. You can get around stunlock from enemies by using stunlock immunity moves, like the act of restoring siege pulse charges, and firing off your siege pulse. It's like essentially being in devastator mode temporarily. I believe that should be enough to instil you with some good habits, ideas and tactics to use as the big baddy stunlocking geth.
