Objective: finish the N7 challenges!

Lol.

I get 2WS survived by Wave 5 all the time. More often 3, which makes me even angrier.

Playing Hearts of Stone expansion now, Galactic Readiness has fallen to 50%.

In short, the Reapers are winning now and it's my fault, but I need my vacation so it's up to you all until I return.

o7

yeah my finger slipped there. whether that or my subconsciousness is trying to tell me, and everyone else, something. i'd rage quit way before that if that's the way the run'd be heading. Here's how it goes usually for me

W1 - Boring. Long. Grabs farming, don't fucking die farming grabs. 5 Grabs a must. Likelihood of a ragequit if dead: High
W2 - Still long. Guardians and their shields get in Steve's way and block the flow. Likelihood of a ragequit if dead: Very High
W3 - No missile use if possible. Abandon mission if dead. Looking at you devices in particular. Fuck targets and Pizzas
W4 - Quick and Easy. Down one TCP. By this time gold medals should be popping, - headshots, tech kills if all going well
W5 - At least 1 missile wasted almost always while trying for a KS. Sometimes two. Likelyhood of a ragequit if dead: Extremely High
W6 - No missile use again if possible save for a one go at trying to swithc targets to goons. Fuxk Pizzas. Abandon if get downed on devices
W7 - Quick and Easy. TCP use at a discretion. Avoid moving too much, or be extra careful cause turret groves everywhere. 1-2 gold medals pop
W8 - Fuck this wave. Missile use auhtorised. Having less then 3 gels and no ops packs on the other side means a high likelihood of mission failure
W9 - Tired. Missile use, conservative. No gels use preferred, 1 tops. ops packs allowed if any left. check the medals, tidy up  any shortfall
W10 - Fuck targets. Fuck devices. Fuck pizzas. Getting objectives credits is desirable if attainable that is. Takes a lot to remember not to RQ here
W11 - Don't fucking die. Of some additional consideration is to refrain from dying with 0:00 on the countdown

well... don't quote me on the AP kill steals. Truth be told I can never remember with confidence which ones that have been confirmed. And being a lazy bastard that i am i keep telling myself i'll dig through the library later. Mostly based on my empiric evidence and the medals shortfalls, like i doscvoered here. I rarely use IA to be honest so haven't paid much attention but for some reason thought they were one of the safer ones. Well, dot kills aside obviously but they're predictable and you can see them ususally. Cryos are safe. Disruptor rounds are safe. Well, unless there's a 500+ ms latency and then they DA gets really bad. Fortunately, doesn't apply here. Drill rounds are safe. Drill are of limited use on this one though i agree but mostly cause it's hurrdurr. They shine on them hard hitters

edit: forgot to mention, there's another good thing about the cryos for this match. it's is the cryo explosions and incinerate synergy which gets even better if your spec into the freeze evo. It really makes tech kills an easy gold medal to achieve early on without much effort, simply comes naturally while you work those hurrrdurrr headshots/kills 

Liked and quoted for consistent proper use of F word.

This fucking game, I tell ya :rage:

it was my first gold solos at the time and i never played the Hsol. I still dislike the thing, i mean, rio with revay or katana. BOth are sub average gun with no range. It was very very long (like 80 or 90 min) and so very stressfull. Now it s not difficult, but sill painfull for whatever reason.

I want to call BS on 50 tech kills by 4, but I haven't used cryo ammo. Cryo Explosion is Techsplosion. Again, you have me thinking about Glorious Cryo Ammo.

Using AP, I have been concerned about Tech kills in my decent runs where I actually had to get think about finishing the mission goals. The others were with Disruptor so my concern there was SMG kills.

I imagine my most-likely win scenario on 7.1 is headshots, grabs, tech kills, smg kills, total kills. Possible 6th GM with KS, because I need those for late round survival if I'm being real with you (which I am).

Man, I'm really shitposting now.... I should go.

yeah... ima inclined now to call BS on 50 tech kills popping during wave 4 too  cryo ammo or not. just watched surviving recordings of one of more recent attempts, a silver one does pop at the earlier 4 proceedings but that's only a halfway. will have a quick go at it to validate doesn't have to go far so should not take too long

EDIT: or not... well at least not htat far off. here's one fresh off the failed 7.1. press... no medals death early into w5

the w4 tally left me with about 12-13 hs kills short by my rough estimates off the HS gold. so about half way into w5 for both with no dramas

This guy right here. He knows what's up. Katana alllllll day.


When I was getting Tech kills out of the way early, I had the gold medal by early wave 3 most of the time and this was with APIV as well and no Steve. I think it's better to mix and match, I try for headshots on Guardians and Nemesis now. It may be even better to get SMG done early because I find I kill a lot of Phantoms and Goons with TBs and FEs during w4 and the later waves when they get bogged down by an Atlas or during their rushes. If you go look at my previous pics (because I'm a lazy fuck and don't want to repost them) you'll find my medals are Grabs, Tech, 75 Kills, etc., probably for every one.

Yes, I ran the 06666 build before switching to 66653 and using Steve for Tech kills/Distraction.

Which is what I did. If you focus just on the Assault Troopers you can get 30 of them in w1. If you only kill Trooper and w/ Incinerate/Overload it's really not hard to have 50 tech kills by the end of wave 2. Remember you're not really speed running here, especially early, so you don't need to focus on Nemesis/Guardians. With that said, I'm not using this strategy any more and now that I'm writing this all out I'm thinking maybe go for SMG/Headshots early and get Tech kills later.

I know you need 5 and I'm not sure what the question is about

welp. you got me beat. i think i'd give up there and then if i'd had to spend even more time on those first waves. drive me nuts as it is even just farming those grabs.
ah dis just me and and my reading comprehension fails. chose to read that last sentence as if you were implying that not all of those medals were required... all good.

I know The element of doubt, yours and Alfonse's was quite appropriate though. It's that me own self-doubty self did the rest. ...And of all recordings i kept, the underperforming one i picked to check. So needed a sanity check.  
 Nice one. Would not recommend it for Ash though btw. Cryo Mattock vs Atlas... Not good. Disruptor (or Explosive_lol) betterer
i know. i'm almost tempted to do it just to find how long such wave 1 gonna take. there's also a problem with Steve being quite undiscriminating, so that means he's out too to avoid any collateral centruions/nemeses 
lol. that's the spirit! knew there'd be a tipping point and you would not be able to resist
