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

wasnt willing to go for a plat one, so, i went for a gold speedrun.
saw HSENT last time was 26 smtg, o good , i can go for a fun setup and just jump in
took supressor and drill, forgot to hack obj, and stuggled for 30 min

I'd go with any, one, of, these on White vs. Cerberus as they are the quickest faction to solo against. Imo White is better than Giant because it's a little smaller, but still big enough to kite/flee if need be. It's also easier to predict where spawns will happen so nuking can be easier. Phantoms can be a pita so that's why the Venom is on a decent number of builds; Venom is love Venom is life. Bonus characters would be a scummy vanguard or trooper. Try to hold the corner of win and good luck with objectives if you're not modding them. If you're already soloing gold, so there isn't much of a difference to Plat just that you get punished quicker for dumb plays. Spawns can get a little wonky so always check your flank. Watch a video of TTT or muah on holding the corner of win and try to replicate.

i wld still recommend caineghis2500 (not that dumb dumdum2's ) s vid and setup (flamer geth trooper)


i would pick HM though, loosing a bit of shield is totally worse it, but maybe not as much for a first

muahmuah ,  what s your cycle with DAI arc pistol ? Charge arc, cloak, mine, shoot, launch mine (in cloak) and charge arc and shoot ? (second arc charge breaking cloak)
I went DisAmmo and power build copying your builds, but maybe u go AP rounds + mag for arc pistol ? ;p

This was the video of my Geth Trooper Acolyte Flamer Cryo Rounds build that Cain saw and tried to copy. Cain was a scrub though and needed to have more shields so he skipped Hunter Mode even though it is easier with Hunter Mode in my opinion. He then uploaded his video 16 days after I uploaded my video. You can see in the comment section of my video that Cain decided to write "Nice. You've got great survivability. I drop too much lol".

The video I uploaded was the first time I tried the build and it was just easy mode. Gold solo with 10 waves survived and no consumables used. If I recall correctly it was just after they released the DLC with the Geth Trooper class. I also tried a Platinum solo immediately after my Gold solo and was going for 10 waves survived but had to use my first medigel on wave 10 so I just rage quit...

Cain always took other people's ideas for his builds and tutorials because he couldn't come up with things on his own. Also he was shit at the game. Below is the only time that he and I played a match together and he kept dying and finally decided to disconnect at the end of wave 9 when I had twice as many points as he had.

Such a pro he was. Amazing in so many ways! He and Boogie were probably my favorite people on BSN because of how scrubby they were and how they still managed to convince people they were good at the game.

Also, you can't tease me since I am not teasable!

I'd go Disruptor Ammo, maybe even AP, instead of Warp with either of those kits. There's a ton of shields and they are a pain in the ass with Warp Ammo. (see my crappy paint path below) I camp LZ until I can't hold it, then work clockwise around the map keeping RHA and kiting hitting the ammo boxes as I pass them.

The absolute best way to learn solo-ing.   

this is a painfull one for sure, but a good player like you should endure gold directly ;p, and maybe watch others build and gameplay. On my side i took the zoom addon to have a less abysmal accuracy cause i have to shoot quite often at medium range on reactor. then taking hard cover is quite good for shooting at long range, but elite N7 doesnt do long range

i would forget about that video, except if u want advices, and post the screen in the Themed challenges thread.
