The Daily Fail: Novice Solo-ers Support Thread (Now with less fail!)

Attempt number four:

Fail... wave one. That one's gonna haunt me for a while, me guess. Completion time, just under four minutes Gotta be the most embarrassing fail ever.

Attempt number five:

Fail wave eight. Devices on wave three ware handled not with a second to spare. I kid you not, the clock was on zero and it still took me three second to finish the device. How that happened, I'll never know. May have finally learned to kite, so there's silver lining. Wave six, got that hack that's hard to hack, so when I kited and came back, there were two guardians standing vigil... lost two gels because I couldn't untangle myself properly. After that, I pretty much knew I was boned, but I kept pushing, just to see how far I could get. Cheating prime got the best of me, with it's snipering ways.

Time, 35:19. Shows I took it quite a bit slower this time. My fingers are really itching for a Reegar now.

I've done many asari sent runs,with a different weapons,but the easiest way is with venom.Venom sucks versus the bosses,but eats everything else for breakfast.The incendiary ammo are the best choice for her.Incendiary glitch kills the enemies for a second.Warp ammo are good choice too.Also i eqip AC for the most of the solos,but GS is also great option.

Yesterday when I got on I checked the AHF chat and of course it was empty. I loaded up U/U/G with Kishock/Batsent and drew Geth/Giant. Nobody joined so 24 mins. later, inadvertent solo #1.

I needed flamer points so queued up Rippahz/Glacier with the Reegar/Trooper. 18:06. I'm sure it's not a record but it was a personal best. I'll screenshot when I sub 18.

I got all the flamer points I needed then switched to U/U/G with Arc pistol/Paladin. Ended up with White/Rippahz(again). Wiped on wave 10 devices. Horrible horrible device placements + bullshit Banshee jump ended that run. I didn't get all my Snap Cheese points.

Needing some redemption, I setup White/Geth/Gold with the hatesurfing Batguard. 19:37. On W11, I drew everything to the LZ and proceeded to BC and melee everything for most of the countdown. It felt glorious.

I tried my hand at this just to see what would happen....

#1)Fail: Wave 2 out of my own stupidity. Got backed into a corner and got murdered.

#2)Fail: Wave 6 trying to do devices. Thought I'd complete the last one and stayed too long. Got hammered into the ground with only a couple of seconds to go maybe.

Might try again later on to see if I can get farther.

Nice! What kit/gun/map/faction are you using?

Kishock Bat sent worst times are 35 and 41 min, and 4 times are above 20 min for the batguard, Flamer soldier might be more competitive

High: My congratulations mate! That's incredible achievement, you can be proud of yourself. Also I admire your strength, I couldn't stand that Banshee scream in every wave for 2 hours ugh... that's why I did mine plat solo versus Cerberus. So now platinum match with whole team should be a peace of cake for you haha.

Low: I'm afraid your post is off topic. Sorry. It's called a Daily Fail and you didn't fail

The map has always been Giant and I've tried several Soldier class kits using different guns, Harrier, GPS, and so on. Been trying to do it with Reapers for the most part as well. I like the Soldier class the most and I've been trying them with that class.

Tried 2 more times after I posted:

#3)Fail: Wave 8 out of my dumbassery again. Got surrounded and taken out.
#4)Fail: Wave 10 doing devices again. Got snuck up on and died quickly.

Then I got this on the next one:

Giant/Reapers
Krogan Soldier/Geth Plasma Shotgun/Carnifex
Survivor Loadout/Shogun AmpIII/Incendiary IV/Cyclonic IV


How I did this I don't know, but I got very lucky I'll say that much for sure. Did this late Sunday night and the first one I told was Ernie right after I got it done. I wasn't going to post it because I pretty much did it for me, but he encouraged me and said I should post it somewhere so I am. I know this wasn't the best kit, I know the time sucks as well, but there it is I guess. It's my first one and I told him I'm not doing another one, this will probably be my last. After I was done I was a nervous wreck and had a bad headache. Took way too long but I didn't quit and kept going since I was still alive and kept finishing waves.

Basically I did a lot of running around...LOL Running for my life most of the time. Wave 3 I got a hack...it was right by extraction in the bunker where I was standing by. Got most of it done before they showed up and did a circle around the map and finished it off. Wave 6 I got pizzas. 1st one was down on the lower end, ran after it and brought it up the ladder through the bunker and finished it. The 2nd one was in the control room, I ran to it and brought it back pretty much the same way. Made it to Wave 10 and got devices. Up to that point I was lucky, now I was pretty aggravated when that came up. But I got pretty lucky with those as well. 1st one was in the bunker...right beside me. Finished it quick and ran to the 2nd one which was down on the lower end. Got it done and the 3rd was in the control room. Got it done quick and just in time when they showed up.4th one was right in the middle of the map....no way I could do that one in a hurry. Ended up kiting them around the map and running back real fast to finish it off. Very lucky with these...very. Managed to finish off the wave as well.

Wave 11....I was dead for sure I thought. Was in the control room where I finished off the last of them. Right where I wanted to be. I held them off the best I could but almost got surrounded again. At this point I started using missiles to clear a path and made a run for extraction. Had to use my remaining missiles in the extraction zone to stay alive, which somehow I did! Hid beside the bunker doorway and hoped for the best and I made it. I was so glad...LOL.

So there it is...and it was nerve wracking for me. Like I said I'll probably not do another one. It was not fun for me at all. I'll stick to team play from now on! I drank several beers after that run. Just wanted to prove to myself I could do it, so I got that one out of my system.

Even after all that, a little bit later I played some good games with other BSNers and had a lot more fun!
