This has to be about the most sadistic "event" I've had to endure. I'm tired of losing consumables wiping on this absurd objective, so Bioware can keep their commendation pack!

Um do you get the pack right after extraction? or after the operation is over? I haven't played in a while so I forgot

well, i am doing this -> social.bioware.com/forums/forum/1/topic/343/index/13120044 and i have full extractions each time. And what is more, i think i use about 1 medi-gel for 2-3 games. I use more missiles, but not too much, like 2-3 for a game, depends what i get for waves 3/6/10.

Event. Is. Great.

Squad Goal: Extract at least one squad member against Reapers on Gold difficulty


Is this extract one of your own squad members, or can most of the team survive? I was in a PUG with an outstanding team on Giant, but got vacuumed by a banshee with 4 seconds left on extraction. Everyone else survived/extracted.

I don't even want to tell you all how many consumables I burned through in PUGs where I was the only one who was using cobra missiles before that match.
:blink:

There are a number of community members and groups willing to help Gold challenged players get the squad goal. Players must be willing to use their best (level III) consumables and play as a team.

Unfortunately most newer players without at least fully leveled (20) characters and uncommon weapons will have a very hard time contributing and staying alive during a Gold match. It's hard for me and I've been playing since the demo!

Getting full extractions on Bronze contributes to the Allied goal. If we make it there are Victory Packs for all.

For the longest time I didn't bother to even try reapers on gold, but gave it a go earlier with some randoms. I was lucky and got into a lobby with some nice people who gave each other tips and talked strategy. The first game, we got full extraction in about 25 minutes. Second game just for kicks, 23 minutes and full extraction again. Everything clicked, biotic explosions everywhere, communicating like a boss, everybody looked out for one another, smart missile work, it was great. This mode isn't so scary anymore!

Yes! I was the most terrible player (only got about 32,000 pts.). Full extraction on reapers-gold-firebase white! First time playing gold from start to finish! Woo hoo! Now back to playing silver and bronze until I can get some better weapons and equipment.

Oh, forgot to add (having trouble editing my post), that was freakin awesome! I was on my toes and a little scared. I yelled out when we all made it. I'm pumped! That was fun.

Not sure I could do it again tonight, though.

Well, once again, I have to thank Bioware for an event that forced me out of my comfort zone... and helped me discover that I like it!

First one was when you had to have a Rebellion squadmate to get a commendation pack. Only one I had was the Ex-Cerbeus Adept, and I never play adepts (so squishy). In order to help as many people as humanly possible get commendation packs, I rolled with that one Rebellion character all weekend in silver. By the end of the weekend, I had found a new character I liked and was good with.

Now, I have done some Gold with Cerberus and Geth, but never Gold Reapers. I play 99% of my time in Silver, and occasional Bronze. This event forced me out of my comfort zone and into Reapers Gold.

I PUGed the first game. Found a good group of very nice Germans. About lost my mind at the number of banshees. But we did great until after the Wave 10 objective, which was completed but we all ended up wiped. I actually had topped that game, which amazed me since my teammates were pretty equally competent. We tried a second match and got two of the four of us extracted. I came in second. Again, amazed. I really do not feel like an awesome player or anything, but that made me smile.

Joined a friend's invite. Played three more Reapers Gold with him and some mates, and we fully extracted all of them (and helped his buddies get commendation packs). I consistently did second place, and this was with people I know play lots more Gold than me.

So, feelin' pretty good. And loving the weekend event. And now that I have several Gold Reapers under my belt, I'm feeling a lot more confident to carry my weight in Gold. Anyone who's good at Silver but afraid to try Gold really ought to try. If you want some help, I offer my services, which aren't quite as awful as I thought they'd be for the challenge! LOL

I am ticked off now.
Just finished a full extraction on gold, only to not be let into the lobby after the match was over. Gold is a big deal for me. I normally play silver and bronze.

I have no idea if it counted... and I have no idea if I'll be able to pull it off again.


Did you get the dreaded "Waiting for other players" screen? Usually, when that happens to me, you can hear the points adding up and the money chiming in the background, then it goes silent again. Have talked to people before saying they could see me in the lobby afterwards just fine, but all I could see was a black screen "waiting for other players".

If that's what happened to you, it should still count towards your squad goal. I'm pretty sure of that, but not 100%.

If you try Gold Reapers again and need a squadmate, message me. I seem to be getting the hang of it better than I thought I would for a regular Silversmith. LOL

For the Squad goal, does it count when you join a game in progress, and go on to finish it?

I joined a Glacier/Reaper/Gold game on Wave 2 and extracted, but didn't know if it counted.

I just completed two Reaper Gold extractions, but in both cases I joined public game with randoms at Wave 3. Does it still count toward Squad goal, or I must go from the lobby?

I'd like to know this as well, and if any Bioware official would be willing to chime in on the matter, that'd be great. I had some awesome Reaper Gold games, first a partial, then a full extraction, but I joined both midway and I'd like to know if I can move on to working for the community goal or I need to stay in Gold. Makes a big difference, time-wise.

Thanks in advance, if anyone answers.


We are also wondering.

So just to clarify, for the allied goal it doesn't need to be a full extraction right?

community goal == just complete that many games against reapers
squad goal == get at least one of your members through extraction on reaper gold.

I was lucky on my 3rd try at this(wiped on wave 8 for my first 2 tries), I PUGed it up on White Reaper Gold, and we pulled it off with a full extraction, no real mic communication, and all the explosions, all the explosions everywhere.

Oh my god, this has been an utter nightmare for me on Gold. Survived one extraction thanks to some amazing teammates. I had the worst score... by far...

Seems like there's WAY MORE Banshees and Brutes than there normally is on Gold. A prelude to Platinum?

It might be. I've been having a REALLY rough ride tonight. Barely survived my Gold extraction.

As I said in my previous post, there seems to be way more enemies on the map than normal.

Did a few extractions on gold (don't think I had any full extractions though), and then did a few more on silver with mostly full extracts.

What is most amazing to me is how many people are bringing infiltrators, engineers and soldiers into the gold challenge. I just thought biotics were the clear choice here. I had my cerb vanguard primed and ready to go and wound up switching to a different class to better complement my misguided randoms. I know, sure, any class is gold viable, but stringing biotic explosions makes things much easier here. Easiest gold match I had was vanguard, AA, Justicar, and a lone engineer.

I'll be bringing my human engineer and geth infy to the party around 2am est... I can't carry a team on gold, but i am good for ~70k and a full extraction...

If the party prefers biotics, I have all flavors ready at level 20. I am not into the phoenix classes though.

First match was a win, with people that had no mics, just common sense, then it took 4 tries to get a full extraction.
Very simple.

Well I in my game I was a a krogan soldier taking all the hits so the bios wouldn't die, drell and human, so squishy.
Was shooting up pretty much everything too, nothing can resist the power of a claymore X or Revenant X, with armor piercing ammo, assault pack and assault rifle damage.
