I was dead tired and was goin to bedd but I thought it will bug me till morrow untill I see how it fares ;]
Loaded solo Bronze challenge, lvl 14, Viper V as primary weapon, predator X as secondary. managed till wave 9 when I 'accidentally' bumped on a sharp end of a phantom toothpick just around the corner.
Who would have thought?
Is it doable with other races and classess? To solo bronze? Or silver for that matter? Maybe anything beside bronze is a suicide, what do you think?

I use Carnage alot and have Full Fortification.
I have the berserker high
I am not level 20 yet.

Its all about knowing the enemy.

I hope in the full game melee krogan can actually do something on difficulties higher than silver.

IF YOU ARENT MELEE KROGAN, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG
Well thats your opinion...
I do not like rage, not when I play gold, I do not kill that many melee, taking a phantom on for size in melee it not that smart.
I am using carnage with great effect and kill fine with the soldier approch.
So thats your opinion, I do not agree cuz I found it easyer playing it Soldier style with carnage.

It seems like there were trying to go for a beast of a melee fighter, but due to the terrible melee issues (at least on console), it just doesn't work. And, as has already been mentioned, melee krogans just do not stand up well in higher difficulties.
Carnage is OK, but nothing special. Inferno grenades are garbage. Fortification helps you be a tank, but the only reason to do that is if you want to be fighting out in the open a lot, which is just a bad idea in this game, period, especially on higher difficulties. There's also no real way to enhance your damage bonus, so you're basically a tank, with carnage, with default weapons that don't do a whole lot on anything higher than Bronze.
I think that the Turian Sentinel makes a better Soldier than the Krogan.

Hardly useless, just have to play it smart.

Human soldier has to rely on adrenaline rush which can make for some good survivability but the damage bonus for it could stand to be better I think.Sentr0 wrote...

This is entirelly not true. Krogan Soldier IS very good at gold. It has very high HP/Shield. Carnage is very good, play like a soldier, stick to the team and use melee if enemy comes close, don't rush to them. It just a different playstyle on gold than bronze.

The boost to HP/Shields is hardly noticeable, and you havent any other useful abilities (granades suck big time, and carnage is kinda meh). Also meleeing on gold is a fraking suicide, with all the spam from atlas and assault-troops-throwing-granades.
Turian sentinel is way way better for the purpose..

Also because you are still an at range character this way.... you never die. Even taking an atlas missile to the face won't drop your shields much.

Unlocked Krogan Soldier yesterday, love it so far. I haven't taken him on gold yet, but playing bronze/silver I can usually finish everything off Carnage ---> Claymore. Also Inferno Grenades on groups to weaken them, I don't see all the hate it gets, love that power. I rarely use Fortification however, as I'm too power based for the slower recharge, with the Claymore not helping.
If you go for a lighter weapon like an assault rifle, the power recharge delay is hardly noticeable even with fortification up.

Ah cool, I might try out sometime then, try and put points into Fort/Rage for a more tank Krogan.

I have both, I played gold with both. Both are good. I don't use grenade (no point at all, maxed Fortify, maxed Carnage). 1300 HP/ 1600 shield contra ~800-900/~800-900 on other classes counts, not big time, but counts especcially in rough situations. Carnage is not meh, it is frakking good. I wrote about meleeing, it works fine on closing Phantoms and troops coming to finish a downed teammate, otherwise I don't rely on it.
Usefull abilities? I have a weapon that kills, you know ...
So, still, anyone thinks Krogan Soldier is bad on Gold is wrong and just does not play it right.
However I agree with you about the Turian Sentinel, he is slightly better for Gold, but that does not mean Krogan Soldier is bad.

For me personally, the melee Krogan isn't very good. My Krogan uses a Mattock assault rifle as their only weapon. Fully maxed carnage, fitness, fortification, and the Krogan becomes a nearly indestructible mobile missile launcher. Carnage does massive damage, has enough force to stagger the atlas, and I can lob one every other second. Half the time I end up still using carnage even at point blank melee range because I know its more than enough to do the job and it takes far less animation time.
Also because you are still an at range character this way.... you never die. Even taking an atlas missile to the face won't drop your shields much.
Exactly! Ppl should understand that it is NOT mandatory to melee constantly with a Krogan, even that Rage gives good boosts. It is a tool that it can be used if the situation allows. Bronze allows it more, Gold allows it few times.
