This just took me like 2 days to figure out the best options to put on to cheese out a 9999 victory on Insanity difficulty. Mostly for those trying to get the trilogy achievement without changing the difficulty (or cheesing the save editor like some people do).
The options I found worked was;
Map: Spinzone Enemies: Reapers Challenge: Super Elites Score modifiers: One-Shot Player Shields (+20%) , Enemy Damage Boost (+10%) , No Placed Ammo (+10%) Team mates: Liara and Miranda
Player Class: Biotic Armor build: Full power regeneration on a power damage character build
200% cooldown loud-out for all three characters: M-25 Hornet I SMG Power Mag IV UL materials IV
M-11 Suppressor V High Caliber Varrel V Magazine Upgrade V.
I tried many different ways with these settings against Collectors and Geth with the No-Medi Gel modifier instead of the One-Shot shields, but was way too hard. Switched out the team and modifier and smashed it first shot. It took 4 minutes and 40 seconds and was just shy of 9k before the modifiers kicked in.
Anyone else think of easier win settings for higher difficulties or just want to share their own?

Spinzone is a good map for fighting any of the tough enemies on or at least one that works fror me is the super Elite Reapers with Grunt and Wrex as I find they can pretty much handle anything thrown at them. At least in the original. I don't play on harder difficulties though as I play on Casual.

I never played the arena outside of the first time but couldn't you just get garrus and let him solo everything? He is one of the most over powered things in the game.

It depends entirely on 1) Shepard's class 2) Which squad mates are available (i.e. who survived ME2's suicide mission and which ones of them have been purchased through the arena terminal, as well as whether it's Kaidan or Ashley who survived Virmire).
My favorite map to accomplish it on, however, is Prime Evil.

When all else fails, give your squadmates Typhoons.

git gud at multiplayer and the campaign is a breeze on anything This. Armax Arena, when you have abandoned your SHIFT key and left time-dilation to Drs Strange and Who, is like a Silver solo except you have teammates with giant fangs and teeth. Learn to use your Quick keys, learn combo mechanics, laugh all the way to the bank.

Screw the reload cancel timing up) and snipers on infiltrator annoying. But yeah Armax is EZ to Cheeze. It even shows you where the spawns are so you can get ready to nuke them.

Map: Wingman (smallest map) Faction: Reapers Difficulty: Super Elite Modifiers: No Medigel, No thermal clips
Squadmates: James (if you do not have your own Incendiary Ammo), and anyone else with an assault rifle. Weapons: Lancer with extended thermal clip + either penetration mod
Squadmates with Typhoons are best, but any automatic assault rifle will do.
Best start at the top right so enemies spawn in front of you. Stay on top because it is harder for enemies to hit you if they are down below.
Reaper waves actually get easier as you go on. Banshees have a habit of killing themselves in the arena for some strange reason, so you will not have to fight too many. You can get it down to under three minutes. This is how I farm credits with any class in the arena.

It was awesome.

Yeah it's fine but then you have to reload for the 3rd and 4th shots and that takes forever. SP Adrenaline Rush makes me feel like I'm playing in molasses, so I spec out of it and use Marksman bonus power instead.

I also did the specter class challenge on insanity difficulty, now I was vanguard and with Lancer 5, no ammo boxes and reinforced enemy shields. I recommend good armor with a + 80% bonus, any cerberus armor is suitable, but I recommend the most suitable for the class, and as light as possible for the weapon for faster reloading. Pistols can also be strong enough. I rely on powers for debuff and tech / biotic combos. In the case of super elite enemies, perhaps the fastest and easiest is Geth, Tali is very useful with Sabotage, you hide, you pull in the visiting geths, and you destroy the rest with power combos and weapons.

Map: Pain Train Faction: Cerberus and the Geth Difficulty: Super Elite Modifiers: None, you won't need it - this will never not be gold
Shepard: I"m currently playing as a Power Casting Sentinel, but you can do this with any class as this Insanity cheese is basically shotgun play with grenades. I'll equip Shepard with Armax Arsenal or Hahne-Kedar armor, anything that enhances ammo capacity or weapon damage, leaning heavier towards the latter.
Weapon: N7 Piranha with High Velocity Barrel and Spare Thermal Clip
Squadmates: Wrex Health 2300 Shield 1380 6 - Carnage, all damage bonuses 30% + 50% 5 - Lift grenade, radius and capacity 6 - Barrier, all damage protection 5% + 10% 3 - Stimulant Pack, default 6 - Krogan Battlemaster, weapon damage 20%; power damage 20%; health and shields 40%, melee 30%
Grunt: Health 2300 Shield 1725 6 - Concussive shot, Amplification (Concussive shot has properties of ammo powers) 6 - Incendiary Ammo, specced for health and armor damage bonus of +40.5% 3 - Fortification, default 3 - Frag Grenade, default 6 - Krogan Bersker, Weapon damage 20%; Power Damage 20%; Health and Shield bonus 40%, Melee damage 30%
Both Krogan are using Claymores with High Velocity Barrels and Omni-blades
Playstyle: Why Pain Train? Because it forces every enemy into a small, narrow, confined space. It's kind of like what the Spartans did in 300. It forces a one on one type fight; you can't get flanked; and the shotgun spray has a higher percentage of hitting something...anything when shooting in a crowded hallway.
The Krogan will be right in the thick of everything causing massive chaos. You as Shepard want to stay just on the perimeter of the fray. What's the perimeter? The walls. Pain Train's wall layout is in an alternating pattern. They form a zig zag, i.e you can't just move in a straight line. If enemeies are clustered around one set of walls, then you must be 2 walls away (it sounds far, but really it's not).
As the Krogan are doing they're thing, you're job is simply to aim your shotgun towards the center of the fray. 80% of the time you will be shooting through the walls. You can hit them. They can't hit you. This is why the shotgun mods are so important. You'll need to shoot through cover and often. You won't be able to add the "no ammo" modifier for this playstyle, but honestly you won't need the extra boost. Every round, you'll hit the max kill streak (10) and the fight will be over in 3 minutes.
Occasionally you'll throw grenades and detonate power combos, and once in a while you might have to resurrect Grunt. I have no idea why it's always Grunt and never Wrex.
Lastly, the Krogan have fortification and barrier but I found I stopped activating them by accident and it never impacted the results; you won't need to activate those powers for them. The games are so quick that you could play 5 matches in a row and instantly earn $50,000 for 15 minutes work.
Fun Fact: This strategy does not work versus the Reapers. The claustrophobic hallways actually work against you versus Banshees. They really are the worst lol
