Now, just because of Jos Hendriks's little comment about eating his hat if Platinum turned out to be easily farmable, I decided to do a little thought experiment.  How would I go about farming Platinum as easily and lazily as possible, with no particular need for consumables, skill, movement, or whatever, and still get rather quick (say, 20 minutes or so) completion times?

Well, it turns out the answer was pretty easy.  The very first thing that came to mind worked like a charm, even without a full team (my first test had only 3 people).  Here's a video of me testing out the first of the strategies I came up with.  Enjoy your 400,000 credits per hour, everyone.  ^_^

Note that the goal here wasn't to go as fast as I could (I can beat 20 minutes fairly easily).  It was to create strategies that would be easy and profitable for mediocre players in order to demonstrate how easy Platinum mode is.

Here's the video
Here's the version without music.

I'm using an N7 Demolisher with 6/6/6/6/0 (no Fitness).  She is the keystone of this strategy, allowing endless grenade spam, tech burst and fire explosion setups, armor debuffs, and unlimited ammo for a party that's staying put.  The other players are a Vorcha Soldier with Flamer, an Ex-Cerberus Vanguard with Smash, and an N7 Fury with Annihilation Field and Throw.  The Asari Justicar with an offensive bubble and area reave is also a great choice for this strategy (as I'll demonstrate in the next vid), as are Infiltrators in general (but especially the Geth).  Basically anything that will deal a huge amount of damage in an enclosed space (particularly to Banshees).

If this is what Platinum is going to become, I don't want to ever play it again. I'm already not too crazy about it as is. . .

Don't know what the strategy is in the OP, but you can camp practically any map.

Noveria farming can work exactly the same way as it does on Gold, more or less.

edit... yeah the little room on Glacier.

What you are witnessing is the demise of Platinum as we know it. Oh hello N7 1 Soldier! Welcome to my Platinum lobby!

Get a Demolisher for pylon, and exCerbi for Smash and camp small room in Glacier.  Spam Smash, grenades.

Well, I believe you, even if I can't watch it. It's not a terribly difficult concept to grasp, though I'm sure that won't stop plenty of players from executing it.

The closet upstairs in the middle of Glacier?  Well ya, that's pretty easy I guess.  Bosses can't make it through the choke point to quickly and bog each other down.  Even if they slip through, they'll get taken down in no time.  Smaller enemies die in tech bursts.  Things get hairy, missile and they're all gone.

YT blocks it due to copyright stuff. Remove the music, it's unnecessary anyway.

Do people just not read the OP before they make comments like this?  I said a version without music was uploading too.

What build/gear loadout did you use on the Demolisher?

EDIT: Sorry, by Build, I mean which evolutions did you take?
