Squad Goal: Successful extraction from a Reaper-held zone at a Silver threat level or higher.

Squad Unlock: Your squad will be granted a Commendation Pack.

Your allies are counting on you. Now is not the time to let them down.

[*]What is in the Commendation and Victory Packs? Can I choose my unlocks?
The Commendation Pack and Victory Packs contain a number of upgrades and consumables for use in ME3 multiplayer. The Commendation Packs will contain one of the following guns at random: N7 Crusader Shotgun, N7 Eagle Pistol, N7 Hurricane SMG, and N7 Valiant Sniper Rifle.  This unlock cannot be swapped or changed.

:devil:

I am com-ple-te-ly confused about the Commendation packs. I have beaten quite a few Silver challenges against Reapers and I didn't get any single one of those. Are they the new ones listed on the shop worth 20,000 credits or are they supposed to be free —which I guess is the point of a reward?

[EDIT: nevermind, just figured that Commendation packs were also unlocked once the event is over]

I got through my Silver run against Reapers, Or as i decided to call it, My own personal 30 minutes of hell. I'm not accustomed to Silver reapers yet, but atleast i adapted to survive through to the last round. My last two games with the same group saw us reach wave 10 and just then die. All it took was a map change for the Reapers to become manageable(That Attican Traverse Comm Relay place rather than the Prefab City).

I was very happy when we got to the end, Given that i was practically on the edge of my seat.

SILVER IS INSANE!!!!:blink:

The squad I was in managed to make it, thanks to an excellent Infiltrator named Pelletgun (IIRC. Thanks man!) who got a gold medal in revives. There was one level where I died probably 15 times. Christ almighty...

But even though I wasn't in the extraction zone when the shuttle landed, two of our team made it, so phew. :)

Murdered a good number of brutes on our way as well.

How DO people manage to play gold? :unsure: Just thinking about it makes me... :crying:

Ugh, why only 5 AM monday? 48 hours to kill 1 million brutes? That is a pretty tall order.


Totally do-able :)  We checked....not going to give you a task that is unreachable.

EDIT wow you guys think of every angle!

It's a total number of combined kills: Worldwide, PC + Xbox combined, any difficulty.


What if you've killed brutes, but you get a mission failed at the end. Obviously, we don't earn the Commendation Pack, but would at least those brutes that we've killed during the mission count towards the 1 million?

Definitely enjoying the event so far, hope there's a lot more stuff like this to come.


I'm glad someone is, I'm about to tear my hair out personally. At least half my XBL matches have been silver reapers, and nearly every one of those matches was clogged with players who had approximately zero business being in silver, let alone against reapers.


I think Bio setting this challenge to Silver is to coax the Perma-Bronze players (like me) out of our safe little shells.

I wish Banshees counted too for the challenge, though. I think I got more frigging Banshees than Brutes in the last game I played. We wasted 7 of them with rockets in my team, and were STILL ganked by two of them in the extraction zone. Stinking Banshees.

Yes, they will. They are two completely separate objectives.

Kill brutes : Any difficulty level, PC or Xbox, every single 1 counts. No matter what mission you do, how far you get. You kill a brute, and everyone is 1/1000.000th closer to getting a goodie box.

Finish Silver Reaper match : Silver or higher, ONE member must extract at least (so you get a mission succesful screen) and every player will get the Victory box.

MAKE SURE YOUR ONLINE TRACKING IS ON! I practically had a heart attack when I remembered that AFTER I finished Silver, fortunately I had it turned on. :wizard:

Uhm, would there be any way to let players know if they unlocked their commendation packs? Before the event is over, I mean.

It's just that I usually never host (because when I do I sit in an empty lobby because you all hate me) and I cannot with any certainty say that the Hosts of my games had their Data Tracking on so our successful Silver Reaper Runs were registered.

Wouldn't that be possible, something small for the Alliance Feed or like that (very nice) little Challenge Announcement that appeared when I entered Multiplayer? Just so people know they have it and don't have to keep asking about Data Tracking, or just plain worrying if they got it or not?

You know, your Silver Run gets registered and the next time you enter MP a Window appears like:

"Congratulations Soldier. Your Squad's valiant Deeds on the Intergalactic Battlefield have earned you a Commendation and access to exclusive Equipment and Weaponry. Visit the In-Game Store on March 20 @ 5pm PST to collect your due reward for Holding The Line."

That'd be awesome. And great for my ulcer, too.

Just finished a Silver run against the Reapers. What a thriller! Luckily I saved my Cobra missiles until I needed them, and managed to take out 4 Banshees (2 each shot).

My build is pure sniper damage, I carry only the M98 Widow so I can use Tactical Cloak before EVERY SINGLE SHOT. With the Tactical Cloak you can kill a fully shielded Marauder with 1 headshot.

Just did our run, beat about 4-5 times. The key is at least 3 Characters that can create Biotic Explosions (Adepts and Sentinels). Max your Warp, Throw, Stasis out and keep your recharge at +200. We beat it 4-5 times and got to at least wave 9 4 other times.

Ha, just did another where I was the sole survivor who made it to the dropship. No need to thank me team mates. :)

I've just been playing Bronze matches before this, and damn, there's many a hairy moment where the team just scrapes through in the Silver games versus the Reapers.

Lucky with the team mates so far, where they all support one another (it's been the key to winning the Silver matches I've found); no lone guns (lost a few due to people running off and dying, and the rest of the team getting overwhelmed in the later stages).

I won't be playing this weekend, because I want to make it clear to Bioware that I remain unhappy with the single-player ending fiasco. I will not be distracted by what is clearly an attempt to direct players energy and attention away from Bioware's attempts to wriggle out of the pit they've dug for themselves without having to deliver an acceptable ending to the game.

I urge everyone else to do the same.

And to think I was going to get on for the first time before the Batarian dlc arrives. Glad you guys keep me from even having the option though, THANKS!

Best thing you can do is stay the hell away from the Banshees. If she hits you with the insta-kill melee attack, it's a huge loss for your squad.

Is Silver harder than it was before because of this promotion? Cuz it's really damn hard now. I didn't have this much trouble beating Silver before, even with a squad filled with newbs.

Yes because not playing multiplayer gets your point accross on single player very well >_>. You do realize you can enjoy the game (including multiplayer) while still giving the constructive criticism on the ending at the same time without exerting too much extra effort? Of course I underestimate how difficult it can be for some to multi-task. Ohh and before you say I am one of those happy-go-luckies on the ending just look at my sig.

I enjoyed the ending so much that I cried.  It was amazing.

I think they're spawning more Brutes in addition to the normal Silver difficulty. Levels become quite claustrophobic with 2 banshees and 2 or 3 Brutes running around. :blink:

There did seem to be one rolling out of practically every doorway in some maps. Glacier gets kind of silly on the higher levels.

Some guy quit out of our team at wave 4.  And we still beat it.  Well, mostly due to my one-man army Human Sentinel at Wave 10.

And not being cursed with a Wave 10 hack.

Honestly, they seem to be spawning twice the density of all the mobs in Silver now. It's starting to get on my nerves.

Edit: Wait, PS3 doesn't get to take part in this?

Edit 2: Just re-read the op. No joy for PS3.  Gave myself an ucler for nothing. Bah.
