Nice, but what’s your P.A.W. Siphon at? I recently got it to Rank 5. Might as well roll the RNG dice and see if I can get those last 5 ranks with over 200 variants remaining, At least I have a Rozerad Siphon X and a Valkyrie Siphon X. My Black Widow is at IX. Lots of high-ranking Bulwarks and Concussives, unfortunately. Gold! As in: It took 2 years to goldmine but there it is I had little time to play after Avengers Endgame, so I opted fastest lobbies (mine) for gold and platinum. Soon I was joined by ok-ish players I've never seen before, around 10k Apex. For Platinum, they left but Scathane hopped on to rescue me for two more games

So... jealous...
Wait that's not a PUG-in-one-word thing. I'll go with:
Trollface - I used the Naladen and Scorpion almost exclusively to make giant smoke clouds everywhere.

Trollface redux - What, Gold Zero waves challenge two days in a row? OK, time for more Naladen smoke clouds.
I joined on Wave 3 of a match so I ended up with the need to play a 3rd match to finish out the Challenge. Ended up becoming the host and chose Outlaws because I love bite-dogs. No, wait, that's not it.
I do love Pariahs, though, especially when I have both sticky grenades and the Naladen (on Human Infiltrator).
Peak trolling occurred on Wave 5 when in the span of 10 seconds I managed to bounce a sticky off the Pariah onto myself. Revived by a PUG, I stood up, and since the Pariah was still there, I bounced an entire clip of Naladen shots off her onto me and the PUG - we both died.
I was laughing so hard that Mrs. 0308 asked me what was so funny... but she doesn't play MEAMP so the explanation fell on deaf ears.

Manly!
After slumming it on LOLbronze for the challenges, I figured why not move the lobby up to the Platinum "Go For The Eyes" mission. 2 PUGs departed, leaving just me as Salarian Operator and a Juggernaut, but then 2 more PUGs arrived. So we set off vs. Platinum Kett on Zero.
And holy crap the Shadow with an extra +200% weak point bonus is amazing.
Things got hairy on Wave 4 Devices when 3 of us assumed the Angara Avenger would stealth grid and do them, but apparently he was more interested in stabbing things to death. So I eked out the device with 3 seconds left!
Wave 6 Hack was pretty glorious also, in the room near where everyone camps on Zero, a seemingly endless supply of Ascended died to weak point shots.
TLDR PUG-latinum is awesome and I should play it more often.

Cool! As in Cool playing! I joined random gold lobby during my lunch and there was around 5000 Apex ppl. Lobby hoster was a really good player for his level, hitting headshots continuously with Shadow. Unfortunately my connection to him wasnt good, but it wasnt either bad, some stutters on jump/evades and randomly 1s reaction time from fex. throw/energy drain combo. I forgot his name already hope to see you again soon.. it started with E

One word: horrible. And I am talking about myself. To Every poor soul, which will be playing with me: I am sorry. I have no idea what I am doing, but I hope everyone is patient in bronze. Mastering ME3 didn't helped me at all. Yeah don't worry, the first bronze matches were hell back then with the added mobility and generally higher speed of gameplay - you'll do fine on Platinum soon enough. Personally, I find MEA Platinum most enjoyable compared to ME3 Plat, which I didn't really like that much. I've just recently decided to play MEAMP and ME3MP somewhat more regularly side-by-side, and it helps remembering how things work differently in those modes EDIT: On a sidenote - if you're planning on playing both MP modes regularly, on PC it might help to choose a keybind scheme that works almost identical in both games. In my case, in MEAMP I've bound my sprint key to the medi-gel key from ME3MP. That way, I remember to use that key for gelling and reload-canceling when playing ME3MP and for running in MEAMP. Works similarly for the evade key in MEA - f.e. bind it to spacebar.

Reasons MEAMP Platinum is superior:
Only 6 waves instead of 10. Not as much armor spam. Still some, but not as much. No Banshees so you're not constantly dealing with that shrieking noise. Synch kills no longer lethal (most of the time). Fewer annoying units overall: no Phantoms, no Engineer Turret spam, no Scion cluster grenade spam, etc. But, you do have to deal with Breachers and lizard-fish-dogs (Adhi).

Searched for Random/Magma/outlaw for dailies and dropped into gold lobby with one veteran player and two newbies. Newbies died left and right especially on objective waves (pizzas both times) since there was no one to babysit them. Veteran guy played with Angara Avenger and was around 700 points in front of my Female Sentinel in first three waves; then she shined as always and I finished the game on top with around 3.5k advantage. I love my HFS...

Comboriffic! Had fun slumming it on Zero / Outlaws / Silver for some challenges, as the Human Kineticist. Pull / Lance never gets old. Was super fun to do Hacks and Uploads and murderize the endless streams of Outlaw fools coming from all directions. Oh I think some other PUGs might have been in the games as well but I didn't need them.

Damn. I was playing the gold apex mission, doing alright with my Salarian Infiltrator despite some random lag moments here and there. It got way worse in the last wave, so I decided not to screw it up, move away from the heat and limit myself to reviving teammates. Come the moment to extract, I got afraid we'd be overrun, and paradox LZ being so open, I panicked and threw my stickies to the floor, somewhat close to the feet of an unshielded pariah. Except she was shielded, because, you know, lag. Ah well, at least I did not wipe the entire team.

Argh. It seems no problem finding lobbies even on weekday morning, but man they're all/most low level ppl or then I have super bad connection to the hoster, so again I opted to start my own. It might be the heatwave we've having here, but I was almost dying on silver the much lower level ppl who joined carried me for a while ahhah. After that onelifetolive bronze was easy pickings with the asian adept guy. Rozerad Concussive X really does the work on weakpoints, faster than PAW + primes so much faster if needed. With VI amp used no priming will happen usually as the gun spits plasma out so fast. It was no match for Black Widow guy on silver though...

OMG! This game was so exhilarating I almost jumped up and down in the chair. These guys were on with me for 3 games and we performed godlike, even though the lowest APEX rating was just around 10k. Also good gunplay, dont need PAW on platinum (although I had them, disruptor III and power cooldown III just to be sure we'd get through if something goes wrong ).. everything went so smoothly, better than I expected, much better. I had time to breathe and see how the ppl handled some horde events, just threw a warp or two into the mix. Awesome PUGs, so thank you a lot! Also I've seen a lot of new players again, N7 in the names a lot too, summer vacations I bet.

PAW on platinum (although I had them, disruptor III and power cooldown III My judgement: PAW - no need to run around picking up ammo (the biggest advantage over other guns) Disruptor III/IV - Tech combos are great CC, they are done way better than in ME3 Power Cooldown III - I never go anywhere without it with my casters

'Tis funny how Tech Bursts went from lamest combo in ME3, to most desirable combo in MEAMP! = = = My last PUG(s) in one word: Rusty! (And sadly not rustybuckets ) After finally getting power restored to the part of my house where the XBone is, I jumped on for a handful of Gold PUGs. Rotated myself among the base human characters to remember the controls and such. Feel like I held my own - only died a couple of times. Of course it helps that I have maxed out Rare weapons and plenty of URs unlocked, but the base human characters are damn good. They definitely didn't lock all the good characters behind the grind-wall.

Played three Platinum Remnant PUG matches for the first time in almost two months. First two matches went smoothly enough, but the third had a tough Wave 6 Upload. Two low-levels decided to stay in the last circle instead of kiting enemies out and letting the Huntress cap the objective. I came in at the end with my Turian Havoc Trooper and blocked any Berserker from getting in the circle for the final seconds. I was rewarded with three URs in a JPP purchase: Rozerad Concussive, Hurricane Siphon, and Piranha Siphon.

Murderous!
Played several games of the Platinum Apex mission with Go For The Eyes. Which makes the Shadow absolutely lethal.
Salarian Operator is one of my go-tos for Plat PUGs, but I had more success with the Krogan Mercenary due to the stagger/debuff possibilities opened up by Flak Cannon. (Yeah, I max it out. Fight me if you disagree.)
Also remembered that Platinum Observers are complete dicks, especially when they clip through buildings and sneak up behind you.
I was not rewarded with anything notable. *frown*

Routine?
Played a bunch of Gold PUGs last night - sadly couldn't find any Platinum lobbies, and I was feeling too wimpy to start a Plat solo.
Rotated among Human Soldier, Human Sentinel, Pwnytail (Female Human Adept), Krogan Vanguard, Asari Vanguard, and the Kineticist.
Put the maps on random but kept getting Derelict and Aqua. I wish there was a "playlist" setting!
Did *not* put the enemies on random because I only want to fight Outlaws and Kett on Gold. Remnant can get canceraids and die in a fire.

N000bbz! So I played a lot yesterday with APEX level 300 ppl, these seemed to be able to handle jumping just fine and didnt merely ran on the ground. Good start then. I switched to Avenger and Katana or such low level weapons too just for the fun of it Today had few too, unfortunately my connection fucked up one game almost completely and one of them left, sorry. Stupid ISP. I was greeted with not soon after that game: I think me and that other player spent grand 3 minutes there, nothing happened, and suddenly main menu it is... sigh.
