Human Juggernaut Gold Solo APEX One Life to Live mission on Firebase Vertigo against Remnant

I loaded up the Gold APEX mission today, which had the One Life to Live mission modifier on Firebase Vertigo against the Remnant. I think the objectives were locked because I got Upload and Hack three consecutive times. On the first two attempts, I got downed during the Wave 6 Hack. Even with the Human Juggernaut and the P.A.W. Siphon, this mission was tough.

Objectives: Upload / Hack



Build: goo.gl/MqK7ms

* Snap Freeze: 1 point
* Fortify: 4A 5A 6A
* Shockwave: 4B 5B 6B
* APEX Training: 4A 5A 6A
* Remnant Armor: 4A 5B 6A
* P.A.W. Siphon I
* P.A.W. Concussive III
* Vulnerability VI
* Assault Rifle Amp III
* Disruptor Ammo II

With no margin for error, I decided to use the Human Juggernaut for his great survivability. I switched out my Snap Freeze for Lifting Shockwave to help with crowd control during the Upload and Hack objectives. Even after I got rid of the Destroyers with my Cobras and the P.A.W., it was really hairy as Breachers, Observers, and Assemblers kept rushing in.

Heyall! Thanks for posting your runs. I'm looking into the options for making either a separate site for this, or hosting the MEA stuff together with the ME3 stuff on the Themed Challenges site. Either way, I thought I'd let you know that it might be a while before I manage to set something up. I don't have as much free time as I did when I started this thread, and I'm having trouble keeping the ME3 halls of fame up to date as it is. It'll happen eventually, though, so keep up the good work!

Objectives: Boss / Retrieval



Was looking to complete the Scorpion Pistol challenge, I started a Gold solo on Firebase Magma with my Human Male Soldier. I also brought the Venom Shotgun for more AOE action.

The rock area to the far left of the starting point is a very good place for solos against Kett and Outlaws. Against Remnant, Observers can target you above the rock cropping that otherwise provides cover against all other enemies besides the Ascendant’s Orb attack.

If you like to camp and not run around — and as long as you can handle the objectives — you don’t have to leave this area except for ammo/grenades. This is why I equipped the Ammo Capacity Mod III; the Scorpion doesn’t have a lot of spare ammo.

• Wave 1: 01:16
• Wave 2: 04:38
• Wave 3 Boss: 08:15
• Wave 4: 12:56
• Wave 5: 17:52
• Wave 6 Retrieval: 23:08
• Wave 7: 27:59

Build: goo.gl/MWuNQK

• Turbocharge: 4B 5A 6B
• Frag Grenade: 1 point
• Concussive Shot: 4B 5B 6B
• Munitions Training: 4A 5B 6A
• Combat Fitness: 4A 5B 6A
• Scorpion Siphon X
• Venom Siphon X
• Expert Package
• Pistol Rail Amp III
• Ammo Capacity Mod III

The Scorpion damages enemies within 2m radius. It would be nice if the damage area was larger, but in confined areas, it works reasonably well. You can see how this was used to eliminate the Adhis throughout the match. And it weakened both Berserkers when the pair rushed me. For enemies that move quickly (Raiders and Sharpshooters), I often aimed at the ground and let the AOE damage do the rest.

When I did run out of Scorpion ammo, I switched to the Venom, whose projectiles can bounce back to the enemies (when hitting an obstacle behind them) and have a large AOE damage radius. Both weapons take some getting used to, and they pale compared to their ME3MP counterparts.

What these weapons are not so good for is for holding a solo Hack or Upload. An earlier failed attempt wiped on a Wave 3 Hack. After getting rid of the Berserkers and Hydra, I could not clear the circle of the Adhis and Raiders quick enough before more came rushing in.

The Targets objective was a little tougher than it should be. That Saboteur did not want to go down. But I got it done and fortunately got Retrieval on Wave 6.

Human Juggernaut
Madawot | 29 April 2018 | 33:37 | Sandstorm | Kett | Platinum | P.A.W. Siphon and Rozerad Siphon

A Platinum solo on Firebase Sandstorm, featuring two new camping spots. Aside from the objectives, you might be able to stay in these locations the entire match. Enemies have a more difficult time targeting you. Bosses sometimes get confused as to your location and get stuck wherever they are. Having the Human Juggernaut is handy due to his immense DR and invulnerability frames. Pair him with a good Siphon weapon and you will barely have to leave your position during the match!



Objectives: Retrieval / Retrieval / Boss

• Wave 1: 01:15
• Wave 2 Retrieval: 03:36
• Wave 3: 07:56
• Wave 4 Retrieval: 14:14
• Wave 5: 19:20
• Wave 6 Boss: 28:25
• Wave 7: 32:16

Build: goo.gl/mF7urx

• Snap Freeze: 4B 5B 6A
• Fortify: 4A 5A 6A
• Shockwave: 1 point
• APEX Training: 4A 5A 6A
• Remnant Armor: 4A 5A 6A
• P.A.W. Siphon I
• Rozerad Siphon VIII
• Vulnerability VI
• Disruptor Ammo II
• Targeting VI III

For this solo, I eschewed my normal camping spots behind Building 37 and the roof except for just a handful of times. The main spot where I camped on Waves 3, 5 and 7 was in this little cubby right underneath Building 37. I had discovered this spot on my own, along with the rock ledge where I hung out on Wave 1.

Do check out this YouTube Video. It features the cubby along with several other spots where one can hide and be somewhat protected by enemies.

I don’t know if the rock ledge would work on Wave 3, where there are Berserkers and Nullifiers that can knock you out of cover and off the map. The cubby is good because there’s a little space between you and the cliff.

The cubby is also very useful for confusing the boss enemies like Ascendants and Destroyers/Progenitors. I found they often got stuck where they were when I was in the cubby. This allowed me to pick off the lower-tier enemies until the end of the wave.

In an earlier failed attempt, I successfully completed a Wave 2 Hack, thanks to two Nullifiers who had blocked the Destroyer from entering the room. I also froze, but not dispatched, any Adhis before they entered my circle. It turned out to be one of the easiest Platinum Hacks I’ve ever done. Unfortunately, I got the Boss objective on Waves 4 and 6. I used up too many Cobras for the first one, so I didn’t have enough anti-shield DPS to take out the second Progenitor.

In this successful solo, I got Retrieval for Waves 2 and 4. By the time the Boss objective came on Wave 6, I had all my Cobras to take out the Progenitor. On Extraction, I hid in the cubby until about 30 seconds. I never even where the Ascendant was hanging out on Wave 7.

If you’re interested in doing a Platinum solo, here’s another option that’s safer than rotating between the back of Building 37 and the roof.

Yeah, I should have called this the “Unmoving Platinum Solo.” Damage Resistance got up to I think 210 with all the bonuses and passives in play.

Human Juggernaut
Madawot | 6 May 2018 | 30:10 | Derelict | Kett | P.A.W. Siphon and Valkyrie Siphon

Finishing up Platinum solos on the last two maps that I’ve yet to solo with with non-stealth characters. First up is (for me) the difficult Firebase Derelict. Tried many attempts with a variety of characters over the past several months, but this successful one features the tanky Human Juggernaut with the dependable P.A.W. Siphon and Valkyrie combination.



Objectives: Boss / Retrieval / Devices

• Wave 1: 01:10
• Wave 2 Boss: 03:12
• Wave 3: 07:43
• Wave 4 Retrieval: 11:53
• Wave 5: 17:48
• Wave 6 Devices: 23:41
• Wave 7: 28:42

Build: goo.gl/pgqZ6f

• Snap Freeze: 4B 5B 6A
• Fortify: 4A 5A 6A
• Shockwave: 1 point
• APEX Training: 4A 5A 6A
• Remnant Armor: 4A 5B 6A
• P.A.W. Siphon I
• Valkyrie Siphon VI
• Vulnerability VI
• Assault Rifle Amp III
• Disruptor Ammo III

I think Derelict is one of the harder maps to solo for a non-stealth character. There are few spots where you can strategically position yourself where (1) enemies come at you from one direction and (2) you have a clear and unimpeded exit route. The traditional starting spot opposite of the landing pad works well for Wave 1 and with groups. In the later waves, the cover busters of Ascendants, Berserkers, Behemoths and Blaze Hydras force you to be constantly on the move and under aim of those pesky Observers, Saboteurs and Anointed.

Did several attempts against Remnant before switching back to Kett. Devices can be a pain on this map given the fact that it’s relatively small. Enemies, especially the ones that can bite and stagger, can converge on your position quickly. The third Wave 6 device on my this run was very dicey. I got staggered twice and went down once. Like the first Wave 6 device on my Aqua run, I capped it just before the timer went off.

As you might be able to tell, the P.A.W. Siphon and N7 Valkyrie Siphon have become my favorite pair of weapons to bring on a Platinum Solo. It’s great that there’s now top tier choices for Assault Rifles to go along with Shotguns and Pistols. Buff the Soned now and give it innate piercing and an even larger clip size.

For me, my goal of finishing all the maps with non-stealth characters is almost complete. Only Nimbus remains, and I consider that another difficult map. I’ll probably skip the frustration of repeated failures and get it done with the Juggernaut or Guardian.

I use it for cover piercing. With the clip buff, the Valkyrie is really good and can take out multiple enemies with one clip. Blind fire is also decent with the Valkyrie. That said, on this run, I didn't use the Valkyrie as much as I did on previous failed attempts.

I did try dual PAWs, but I prefer having two Siphon weapons with me. I think two PAWs bring me right at the weight limit. I also tried using the Venom Siphon, which works really well when you have all those enemies clumped together (Wave 1 and parts of Wave 3 and 5).

Yes, any time under two minutes is really good for me. Usually I am closer to three minutes.

I think a failure in extraction on a Platinum solo would have driven me over the brink of insanity!

That’s good! Wave 6 is super intense on Gold, I can only imagine surviving it on Platinum but then going down in Wave 7! Of course, that isn’t to say Wave 7 is easy - if you’re out of consumables, or just too low on them, it only takes one piece of bad luck to go down...

I think I’ve only failed in Wave 7 in a solo once - and it was on Bronze! I just lost track of time and didn’t get to the LZ in time...

Anointed are so savage. You go from full health and full shields to zero in 2 seconds if one gets behind you somehow...
