Posted a few powers-only Gold solos that those left in this community might enjoy watching. I did allow myself to use melee and Cobra RPGs, but not shooting. For all of these, it was important to run power efficiency boosters so I didn't have to wait too long between power casts.
Enjoy!
Powers and Melee Only Krogan Vanguard Gold Solo
Human Guardian Melee and Powers-Only Gold Solo with Wave 3 Hack
Almost Powers-Only Human Commando
For this video, I had to fire the Predator pistol a few times at the end of the Boss objective. Could have used a Cobra, but I panicked with the objective timer running out.

Always amazing to see you do those challenges I've played few games just using powers with Kineticist. Basically helping other players with pull, a lot of enemies pulled into air

Saw those matches on the tube a day or two after they got posted. Nice challenges undertaken. I've unfortunately had to drop everything for the moment, the 360 controller finally has died a death from which no techo-necromancy can revive it from (unlike last time, where I was able to revive it for a bit longer). So it's back to watching others from me (for now) until I can find a controller that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to replace over.

Enjoyed your Gold solo on Sandstorm trying to get a minimal score, along with rewatching your Wave 3 Upload on Aqua. Also tried my hand at a Gold solo in ME3MP, but man, my skills have atrophied. Couldn't even get past Wave 4 with the Kroguard, GI, or Salarian Engineer.

I use DS4s myself, and both of mine are so heavily used that they're starting to develop wandering stick, but neither is bad enough that I'm willing to shell out €60.

Couldn't even get past Wave 4 with the Kroguard, GI, or Salarian Engineer. Other than the Engineer, I wouldn't really recommend those for soloing when rusty. That said, I'm one of those weirdos that do better with Volus than Krogan Siege Pulse build on the Juggernaut with Adrenaline Module+Priming Ammo. Flamerless Geth Trooper with Cyclonic Mod. Batarian Soldier with Crusader. Asari Huntress or Justicar. Or just a lazy Collector Trooper with Warp Ammo IV on a PPR/CSMG, (ab)using the fact that he only triggers a cooldown when you detonate his power, thereby creating a persistent priming field for the damage bonus. IMHO, these are probably the easiest Gold solos in ME3MP. The problem with Infiltrators in ME3 is that Cloak doesn't work the same as in Andromeda, and is functionally useless for stealth in a solo (the AI ignores Cloak status if it can find an active player within a set amount of cycles), so it becomes nothing more than a damage bonus, so soloing tends to come down to DPS, usually via guns, sometimes via stacking DoT powers or Combo spamming. Feel free to ignore that, too. I recently came back to MEAMP for a bit, and barely managed to solo Silver, so clearly one of us is the better soloer, and it's not me . I did, however, get the gun I'd wanted ever since BioWare ruined the loot pool - Scattershot Siphon I, so that goes onto half my most played characters immediately .

Arkhne thanks for the suggestions. Will give them a go when I fire up ME3MP again. The GI Javelin and Salarian Engineer were my best classes to play back in the day, so it was disheartening to get downed so quickly. I found myself getting frustrated not being able to jetpack away whenever I got overrun by enemies. Also have to get used to the global cooldown. I'm also down to just Cyclonic Mod I. Need to buy some packs to get those nice Cyclonic Mod IV. And the Devices objective is tough in ME3MP! At least with Hack, I can do the sidestep hack to keep the Hack going when I run around the map.

Indeed, Devices is a royal pain solo in ME3. It always feels like half the enemies refuse to kite.
