***** PLATINUM SOLOS HALL OF FAME *****

A flamer less GT is not really speed-running material, you'll have great mobility and survivability with good dmg bonuses from hunter mode but you won't have any powers or abilities, sure you could pull off a sub 25 on a 60 frame rate PC with the Reegar but that's about it.

If you want to go fast Collectors are the worst faction since they have a ton more hit points than the others.

You know, Acolyte/GT is pretty far from the most OP set-up you can use, there are plenty of set-ups that are far cheesier.

You can't make speedrun with that setup.GTS is one of the fasest characters in the game,but you must use falmer or as Bateman said at least cheesgar.Also,the collectors?! U mad? Choice derperus or at least reapers for a faster time,but if you play just for fun,everything is ok.

Heh, maybe ill give it a go, but i still need a second weapon for close range combat. Or you mean to use flamer for that purpose?

Hmm. Kishock with a vanguard? Sounds fun

Javelin works at close range too (some here treat it as a shotgun ), and the flamer yeah . But Claymore is great with this build too, u just have to run a bit more to close waves with that last nemesis/captn .
Kishock has no hipfire penalty, so if u dont like to quick scope at close range, it might be the better solution.

Optimal DPS solution is either reegar or acolyte as pat says, but we tallkin" classy weapon here

here s a carefull solo example with the javelin (nice shot):


Now i am tempted to do that cause after viewing through it, i dont like the gameplay too much
I prefert this claymore one (well it s gold and team game so ...)

Eliminated Targets and Devices cause I got tired of grinding through them, and my goal was sub-25 anyway . Hack, Escort, Delivery

I was extremely lucky because I played better than I usually do, got better objectives than I usually get (short deliveries, for example), and had better spawns than I ever had. I don't think I can replicate this right now or any time soon. Still, I'm really, really happy. I can barely believe it.

Switched to Black Widow cause I don't think I could get even close to 25min with the Javelin, too many goons. But I had to fight the urge to reload after every shot I get after playing single shot guns for a continuous period of time. This was also the game I controlled that the best.

Video will be uploaded later and this time, hopefully, I will remember to upload it public   . As I like to do, video link will be on the "(v)". Btw, if you think I should do it in any other way Smehur , let me know. Same with the modded part

Edit: video is live

, me too, i went for giant unknown plat solo, and got cerb. It worked pretty well, i feared goon/phantom rush, but giant kinda made it easy. Ended up grabbed on w8 at 28 min with 6 or 8 missiles, but it was really cool otherwise . i have the vid, but nothing really worse looking at.  I thought javelin was doing all the lifting but got 50 flamer kills and 50 SR kills on the end screen.

Are you sure about the date? Also,you don't like the best vanaguard,tc,tc,tc...

Just noted, I'm getting old I guess.

(Or just throw some Disruptors or Phasics on your VENOM)

As posted elsewhere, I managed today my 15th platinum solo:

I know that the time, the map and the use of the Acolyte are not quite PSHoF material, still, following patrickbateman 's advice (thank you!), I decided to also post it here.
