I was actually thinking of trying that exact strategy, just to see how well it worked.

I wouldn't call Platinum easy just because you found a map exploit that let's you counter the gameplay.

ROFL at calling taking advantage of a chokepoint an "exploit."

Anyways, I call Platinum easy because I could solo it on day 1 easily, beat it in 15 minutes on a standard run while just running around, farm it very lazily on any map, and be able to carry randoms through it the first time I tried it.

Meant to say Smash, obviously.

You have inspired me to try and use this strategy. I have not completed this mode, so I am just hoping for some chance.
Additionally, I do not think that the dev will eat his hat until:
1.) Someone who hasn't beaten Platinum solo farms it
2.) Everyone starts doing this.

But again, I will try to do so. Thanks

GP, in the video I noticed you re-deploy Pylon every once in a while. Why? I thought pylon will stay and never disappear? (I dont' have demolisher yet...)

Hmm... video quality makes it hard to tell how you're dealing with Banshees. How do you get them to stop teleporting through the walls?

Because it restocks a grenade (or 2 if you have it specced for that) instantly when you deploy it.

Pylon will give out ammo every ~10s and grenade every ~14s, but if you re-deploy, it resets that cycle, i.e. gives a set right away. So it is a way to get ammo NOW.

Also, when you re-deploy, the old one explodes dealing some (minimal) area damage if there are enemies around it, although I do not think it was used for this purpose on the video.

you can redeploy every 10 seconds and get 2 nades or wait 15 to 20 seconds for them to generate the redeploy is better economics more nades = more dead enemys

My buddies and I would love to farm with ya sometime.

I would love to see Jos eat a hat as much as the next guy however, you are aware that farming denotes the idea that the average player can engage in the farming...Just food for thought (size 7 1/2).

Cheers

Yes, that's why I posted a lazy man's strategy that I felt any random could do.  If I was going for pure efficiency, I would be running around the map and finishing much faster

Never before have I seen a community so eager to ruin the gifts that the devs give us. Good going, guys

But do you think the randoms (the average ones that struggle in gold with full teams) will still be able to get through the objective waves easily?

EDIT: Fix typo at the start, I meant "do" not "don't". Still, I think GP got my point.

Well, that was an issue for FBWGG farming too.  It's no different really.  And really, you have 20 missiles, 20 thermal clip packs, 20 ops survival packs, and 20 medigels for those 3 waves. 

I don't know about "average," but I suspect that many players are capable of farming this way, and not just highly skilled players.

Well according to some, Paladin is an hypocritical Noob, so they should be able to do the same very easily D:

Yeah that's true, I just have seen some really bad cases of 20 missiles being used and still objective not done... >.<

[MarchWaltz]

Wait...so you do not need to be extracted? You can fail on wave 10 and still get 100% cash?

Having played with both randoms and weak-moderately skilled friends primarily (I haven't had any "elite" gamer friends since I got out of college ), I can guarantee this method would not work consistently. You have more skill in that room than you are accounting for i think - it's a very fine line. Both the difficulty of some of the missions, and the panic of having a couple banshees on top of you makes it easy to screw up, and if the team wipes while there's a banshee or phantoms in the room, there's a good chance you're done. I wouldn't call it reliable farming so much as a solid camping tactic. The saving grace is that the money is good enough that you're still making out better than wiping on late waves of gold all the time.

I guess this means who got demolisher should enjoy the char while it lasts...

That was my assumption when I first heard about it, but honestly I think the character kind of sucks outside of camping situations. It's weak and only has the grenades to rely on. When you're moving you're more reliant on your gun, but have no bonuses and are squishy. The arc grenades being weaker than the quarian version doesn't help. Basically you get great burst damage while sacrificing versatility (especially compared to any other engineer).

Like several other characters, it's overpowered on low difficulty, solid
when planned around, and sucks when you're in a higher leveled random
game. I don't see it getting nerfed just because it's the best character for camping - that's the whole point of it.
