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

people wanting to watch me play with turians makes me blush

...uh I mean

My internet is extremely slow and I have a metered connection (15gb per month, and after I reach that I get throttled down to basically dial up speeds) so uploading is prohibitively time-consuming and prone to failure. For that reason, I'm not uploading many videos anymore.

With that said, I still do try to upload a fat turian about once a week, because Turians

this was actually done as a joke with the no marksman build and I didn't expect to get triple escorts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. was pretty tired tho when I did this so there's a lot of fat turian fail, including a moment where I rounded a corner to go down some stairs and Fat Turian was so fat I didn't even notice he was right next to a phantom until it attacked me. He blocked her from view entirely with his bulky shape.

Ok fellas, I may return from my slumber. What ammo do I use on Crusader GI White Cerbs?

glorious solo
U were pissed off a bit early on W10 escort, it almost costed you the sub 20 or were you falling asleep ?

First try went quite well, 20:54 despite me missing way too many shots, not knowing when to bodyshot and when to headshot, and getting unlucky with wave 3 cleanup. One of the few times I didn't have to kite wave 7 at all. 

Next thing, tweaking my sensitivity a bit cause it feels off, and getting used to 60 FPS only, that also feels too choppy.

Yeah, I'm going for a "proper" sub-20. I got one already that I submitted long ago with reegar flamertrooper, but not only played badly, it was also too cheesy. I want one where I have to play really well to achieve it.

It's a gun I don't enjoy that much using and I'm not good with it either. I may try it at some point, but for the time being I find the Crusader much more fun.

As cheesy as it is, it's not Reegar levels of cheese 

sub 20 galore ...
Pfff, I still have no idea how I could sub20, it s another league , I struggled already to sub 20 on gold ... I ll give reegar trooper a try a some point though

Me: well this isn't so bad, I'm a sexy Turian and the Katana's damage output isn't terrible so this shouldn't take too lo --

RNG: --how 'bout some triple targets

As usual, I spent most of the time running and depleting the budget of husks. Fortunately, the Fury is well suited at doing both. Had a lot of failed attempts on this one mainly due to Banshee hugs but finally got it done, even with some crappy objectives. 4 Banshees with 3 nukes left made w10 quite painful.

Now to see if I can do a solo with an engineer. Haven't got any personal preferences for this one, so suggestions would be appreciated. It looks like the GE and QME have the most entries in the PHOF...

yes, QME hydra geth is your pick, wont take long !

Modded solos - on the new maps mgamerz released via redemption DLC
Besides a couple of maps, most of these solos are my first games on the maps. It was kinda nice to encounter previously unknown ammo locations, new routes through the maps, etc. as the solo went on.
Kind of a long post with my thoughts on each map, etc.

Relatively straight-forward as long as you can hold one end of the map without being overwhelmed. Crossing the middle can be pretty bad (kinda like Rio but without the generous ammo boxes). Wanted to do with no/minimal rockets, but then w6 targets kinda forced my hand. And w10 escort went through all the enemies, leaving me with little choice.

Drell Assassin - Firebase Invasion
TheNightSlasher | Jan 28, 2018 | 34:05 | FB Invasion | Geth | Black Widow | 10 WS
Probably the easiest of the lot. Camped on the top tier and was easy. Primes tend to get stuck underneath you on the lower level, making them harmless. I should've spawn nuked more on waves 8 and 9.

Asari Valkyrie - Firebase Sanctuary
TheNightSlasher | Jan 28, 2018 | 35:26 | FB Sanctuary | Collectors | Venom
Didn't like this map. But, the alcove by the stairs near the entrance to the sanctuary is relatively easy to camp.
Played way too aggressively (read: stupidly) in the first 4-5 waves. Made the solo quicker than expected, but went into wave 10 with no gels and 1 ops. Thankfully, wave 10 gave me a nice cheesable hack.

Batarian Brawler - Firebase Keelah
TheNightSlasher | Jan 28, 2018 | 39:17 | FB Keelah | Collectors | Reegar Carbine
Basically, a big giant circle. Wish I could get on the mounted turret and speed run this. This could've been 10 WS if not for the dropped package midway through the delivery. 35-odd FPS reegar is good but I really missed the 60 FPS one.

Salarian Engineer - Firebase Shipwreck
TheNightSlasher | Jan 28, 2018 | 48:47 | FB Shipwreck | Reapers | Venom | 10 WS
Super fun! The camera sway effect is interesting. Then again, I used venom where aiming isn't all that critical. The camera sway could be irritating with precision guns like saber.
I am surprised the game says I didn't extract. I was in the circle!!

Asari Huntress - Firebase Atrium
TheNightSlasher | Jan 28, 2018 | 49:34 | FB Atrium | Collectors | Venom
Another very fun map unless an atlas or prime gets stuck next to a shield generator and becomes nearly invincible. Very Vancouver-like with the two-tier design. But wave 10 targets tho. Was forced to use my last 2 missiles on 1st and 3rd target. Came down to the wire with the last target (20 s left).
A random Q: Why do we notice a sky similar to ours from the Grisson academy? It's in space. And why is it blue? Or is it an illusion to make the biotic students feel at home?

Human Vanguard - Firebase Fatal Error
TheNightSlasher | Jan 28, 2018 | 38:01 | FB Fatal Error | Reapers | M-11 Wraith
Tough map. No camp-able spot and constantly need to move. Kinda cheesed it with nova-cancel.
IIRC, this map was the very first time I played collectors (in citadel DLC, SP)

Asari Huntress - Firebase Prime Evil
TheNightSlasher | Jan 28, 2018 | 44:07 | FB Prime Evil | Collectors | Venom
The toughest of the lot, without a doubt. And not an artificially difficult one like Condor or dagger hazard. Again, no good spot to camp and constantly needed to move. Graphics aren't as good as the Citadel DLC variant, which makes it a bit dull to play (lots of black spots). And charge doesn't work well in a lot of spots. Took 6-7 tries with a bunch of diff. characters and enemy factions.
Atlases can damage you in hard-cover with their splash damage (load of nonsense and of course cerberus is involved). And the objectives were terrible. Wave 6 targets used up a nuke, and I failed to cheese w10 central hack. Finished it with 35 secs remaining on the clock. And 0000 consumables going into w11 - yay!.
