While most gold players are capable of handling Geth & Cerberus well in gold, everyone just seems to be disorientated in a Reaper game. From my experience no matter what class they are playing(Adept is theoratically the best) it is provento be hard to even reach wave 10 let alone have an extraction.
I'm not sure if Reapers are truly more challenging in every way or a lot of players are doing way too many FBWGG, but it appears that only 1 out of 10 random team are capable of succeeding.
Discuss.
Reaper gold is the most challenging

I've never done Reaper Gold. So far all of my matches have been geth.
Reapers scare me on Silver... can't imagine Gold

It is challenging with random players, but it is easy to beat with friends. I would recommend people try and develop online relationships rather than go with randoms because it just doesn't make sense to lone-wolf every game. It is a co-op game after all.

You'll never get any better if you don't venture outside of your comfort zone.

I'm on PC and I try hard to add good players. But seldom they accept the invites, probably because of the stupid Origin.

Agreed. I've been part of a successful random group against reapers on gold (it was the map that corresponds to the cannon you have to take over from Cerberus on Tuchanka in SP), and definitely felt a sense of accomplishment. In fairness, my character was a geth engineer which definitely seems to be one of the easiest classes to play (not that I've unlocked or played all classes).

Reapers are my favourite, I guess I play them the most so I'm used to them more, but I don't find them any more challenging than anyone else.
I think it depends more on your favourite load outs and builds as some do better against certain factions than others.

It would be easier if Banshees didnt sponge so much damage. Even biotic combos take a while to take her down. The main problem that comes with this is that everyone is distracted on the Banshee/Brute nearby and the Ravagers and Marauders take everyone down when they're weak.
In my experience, it is best to take out anything with a gun or distance attack (Ravagers, Marauders, Cannibals) first and then focus on the Brutes and Banshees.

Reapers aren't as bad as people think they are. Yes they are the hardest and are fun to play vs but some people believe they are a lot worse than they really are, so are unwilling to try them. Which is disappointing seeing as I like to search random Reaper games but never get any.

I'm playing quite a lot of PC Reaper gold lately, interested?

Reapers gold with full Asari's aren't that bad really. Especially with offensive justicar bubbles and tunneling the reapers down long hallways like on dagger, hehe.

I think reapers are easier than cerberus. Those phantoms and nemisis' are hard to hit and do real damage. Phantoms are little c words.

So I guess you haven't used AA on Cerberus much.

Ravagers, most of the time i die because of it. While most of the time it tooks me too long to kill one, i really hope in any PUG party inflitrator can pick them up fast, the focus on banshee.
Banshee rarely kill me, but i died when im running from Banshee and suddenly i notice a laser line, and bam...so sadd...

Reaper gold on Glacier is hilariously easy once you learn how to predict the spawns.
I actually feel bad for them.

Agreed, I find Reapers to be the most difficult. The Banshees force you out of cover, and the little guys take you down.

Are you using Stasis bubble or just stasis? They make a huge difference.John123453242 wrote...

A bubble can trap up to 3 phantoms if you're lucky.

Agreed. Never full extracted on Reaper gold. Got to the extraction round many, many times. Always had trouble with those Anakin Skywalker banshees.

I strongly disagree.
I can easily handle 2 banshees on my own, matador style with bioexplosions, no problem at all!
The problem with Reapers is that both Brutes and Banshees require a lot of room to maneuver around and Maraduers and Ravagers makes that very dangerous.
So Brutes and Banshees close in on your position in no time so you almost always need to deal with them in close combat, and if you try to get some space, Marauders and Ravagers are there to blast you to pieces from a far.

Ditto...It may be marauder shields that kills you but its often a banshee that drove you out of cover...I hate em.
Dont know that they are OP but they are a pain in the rearend.
