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


Correct.  If you are level 20, there is literally no reward for extraction.

Yes, extraction is a waste of credits/minute.  Better for the whole team to just die after wave ten objective and just get on with the next match.

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

Screwing with semantics to save some hats, aren't you? Not that I particularily wish Hendriks to eat his hat (I DID warn him, but noooo, he wouldn't listen!), but farming does not denote that your everyday guy can do it. It just means that people can use it to reliably succeed and cash in. That does not extend to the meaning that everyone should be able to do this.


I on the other hand want to see a full cinematic video of Jos eating his hat. I wish to see a full lenght movie about it I even have popcorn ready! I'm so putting it to my sig when and if he does it!

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.


But, camping spawns is highly effective and a key to speed runs.  Granted, you wouldn't camp the same spawn unless you had a good strategy to do so, such as having at least 2 demolishers.  You would move the camp to the next spawn if you're the only demolisher.  This is my suspicion.  I rarely use grenades but see others use them, methodically spawn bombing.

If I were Jos, I'd make a party out of it, hats for all, and booze.

Me and my buddies are nowhere near as good as godless but we can do white platinum in 27-38 min using an assortment of classes and weapons. Think we got 5 extractions last night. We haven't tried on other maps yet but we still did the "farming run".

FBW/G/P isn't hard.

I said camping, not spawn camping, as in sitting in a spot with your team - which doesn't happen much in randoms aside from FBW.

Actually, everything you said doesn't really relate to my comment - were you thinking something totally different? ;)

Note that the Demolisher does not need to camp at her pylon. She can essentially plant an extra ammo box at an opportune point on her spawn bombing route, and that's useful.

That said, I'm a little miffed that a lot of the additions seem geared to add to the camping game.  For example, the Slayer and Shadow firing sword beams through walls at long range, or the Paladin needing to stand still and wait.

No way your average PUG's are going to stay in that room after a banshee comes in. You and your team did well together. I think the crowd control was more important than killing the bosses.

The PuGs I tested it with did so when I explained to them what needed to be done.

If you have sufficient damage, Banshee grabs are a non-threat to campers.

I find that a gentle joining of both two Pheonix troops, one infiltrator (using a sniper rifle designed for high damage output) and one of either asari adepts works wonderfully. Have the smashers hold a position at CQB, with the sniper firing over their heads at range, preventing enemy backspawn.

I think the N7 Engineer is key, because it allows grenade spamming (even more than 1 player), and ammo for reegar's users (because you want at least one or even two using this weapon against Banshee), so you don't have to move from the spot.

Pretty much. The only danger you'd face is if 4 Banshees all happened to teleport in and grab you all at once, but I don't think that's really gonna happen.

Man, I need to find a team to do this with. >_>

It literally cannot happen, AFAIK.

Looking for PC players doing this, I managed to pull it off in a Pub without too much trouble.

It works.

 I do love it how you guys and gals rally together on something like this. ^_^
Clearly I will have to be a lot more careful with setting goals for you to be able to make me eat my words, and in this case a hat. I'm working on a delicious hat plan, that will happen.

Thanks for the video, GodlessPaladin. It's helpful feedback for myself and our gameplay team, too.
