A quick run of the Collector Platforms with my Claymore Soldier. No heavy weapons and as aggressive as possible. I used squadmate powers for staggers rather than damage so I could close in and spend less time in cover.

Collector Platforms - No heavy weapons

well done, just like the collector's should be after all that fire ; )
Something in my brain always tells me "Now the charge!" when I see a shotgun wielding character, but after watching some videos in this thread I see, that using a shotgun can be pretty awesome as a soldier.

[CoffeeHolic93]

 I was actually playing more defensively than I usually do. (Fraps KILLS my framerate due to a poor graphics card) I could've easily stayed on Harbinger both times and used staggers to kill him instead of retreating. Oh well.

@ Mi-Chan that's a nice run. The hardest part for me is the very opening, and the Avalanche takes care of that. But you were very agressive, and I say well done. I added it to the OP.

@Mi-Chan. Well-played. Liked how you used Mordin's incinerate to control multiple Collectors at once while you dealt with Harbinger.

[CoffeeHolic93]

Thanks! I've recorded the rest of the Collector Ship which I'll upload later today.
@Ry The hardest part for me is the Scions, but I didn't want to be cheap and Stasis them. The collectors aren't hard as long as you have Area staggers. (Pull-field works nicely if there's a stripped enemy he's dead aswell)

@Red Mordin's Incinerate is crazy powerful, and does a decent job of stripping their barrier which was my original intention. The fire-dance was an added bonus.

 New video:

Jacob's loyalty mission

Note: I did not complete this in one smooth take. It took about 1 hour to record and about 45 minutes of that was dying repeatedly at the last fight with Ronald Taylor's guards and YMIR mech.

Also: I used to think LOKI mechs were nothing to worry about. That was before I started running around with the Claymore. LOKI mechs are extremely dangerous to a Claymore Soldier.

Collector ship part 2
The rest of the Collector ships, and me showing how much I love staggers.

Edit 2: Added annotations to the video.

May I ask you why you didn't use Disruptor ammo against the Loki's instead? Better CC against mechs and it doesn't work in wonky ways with biotics. Great run though!

[ryoldschool]

@ RedCaesar97 I always have trouble with those Loki also, and on that mission I really miss having charge to close the distance ( and get out of trouble ).

@ Mi-Chan Great run on the rest of the collector ship. Nothing like a frontal assult!

I added both videos to OP.

I'm thinking of doing some of the missions you guys did to see if it's possible to do a "claymore-only run." Thoughts?

I only had it at rank 2, and I think it only starts to disrupt Mechs at rank 3. I did not want to re-spec my skill points. If I used Slam instead of Neural Shock, I might have tried it, but I want to stick with Neural Shock on that Soldier.

I am sure it is possible, but I recommend switching weapons if the situation calls for it. I see you use Slam, so you would probably have better luck than I had against the LOKI mechs on Jacob's loyalty mission. Synthetics do not panic when set on fire like organics.

Fair enough. :happy:

Panic? No. Stagger? Yes. A very long stagger? You betcha.

Sure, that might be fun.  Actually I tried to use the claymore whenever possible.  In the suicide mission Human Reaper fight I only used the claymore to take it out ( took about 29 shots ), and that part where you are in the bubble its mostly impossible to use the shotgun, but in a lot of the other parts of the game you might be able to use it everywhere ( I did not record it, but Tali's LM you can go all claymore ).  Other parts it would make for an interesting view.

Edit: Just noticed that I have not posted that human reaper fight in the OP.  I'll do that.

Just did Jacobs loyalty using the claymore, and ONLY the claymore.  Will upload after I get some sleep though.

Disruptor Ammo starts crowd controlling synthetics at rank 2 (rank 3 is when is start overheat the guns of any enemy type), which is why my Shotgun Infiltrator is happy to leave it there.

Yeah, just noticed that now. Thank you.

I will likely respec for Tali's loyalty mission so I can have Squad Disruptor Ammo. Nothing like catching Geth in a crossfire with Squad Disruptor Ammo.

Jacob's Loyalty mission - Claymore only, no heavy weapons :happy:

My game crashed during the last fight (I blame fraps), so I had to redo it. Sorry about the framerate.

[ryoldschool]

@Mi-Chan nice taking care of those mechs, and the Ymir in that Jacob video, added to OP.

The only good thing about those Mechs would be their stagger animation. Stagger them and you've won.

I still have the majority of missions left (barring Samara's recruitment and Jacobs/Mirandas loyalty), any noteworthy missions I could do?
