Squad goal sounds like a crapshoot, one thing to keep my twitchy fingers from using something but another to hope the other three don't quietly use an ammo pack on Wave 10 or whatever.

A lot of escort missions too!

Just going to have to keep shooting and keep hoping this weekend.

250,000 Escort missions? For crying out loud, you can play five complete 11 wave games and never see a single Escort mission. That is...wow...I know the odds sometimes balance and you see more than one Escort in a single game, but the utter randomness of this seems really hard to pull off.


They've probably upped the chances of getting escort missions over the other types, or perhaps put a minimum chance of at least one per game.

 I Agree with Steve0064, if they can put banshees in geth missions and double up tank-types they can easily modify the missions to favor escorts. Unrelated: if you are worried about the squad goal, go solo (any difficulty). If that seems daunting, well, it is a "challenge" weekend. The last three weekends have been hand-outs essentially, just look at the numbers, we killed it! I'm pretty stoked for a more difficult weekend, and to meet some team players (hopefully) getting this allied goal done. Anything that isn't "Operation Silencer" is fine by me, sweet jesus was that a nightmare.

That is a lot of escorts It could be done if every single player gets at least one escort in a game i believe mass effect has 250 000 player but the squad goal sucks

It reads like on the extraction you can use what you want 'up to wave ten'

I can honestly say that I have never had a single escort mission so far. I know I haven't been playing for too long but the odds seem heavily stacked against me on this challenge!

So basically, Play a lot of games, then cross your fingers and hope that in one of them people kept their fingers away from the med-packs, etc.....ooh goodie *sigh*

Either that or solo'ing,...aaah well done Bioware, well done turning MP into SP.

Squad Goal: Complete up to and including wave 10 on any difficulty without using a consumable (medi-gel, ammo, Ops pack or Cobra missile launcher)

Even on Bronze, I don't see that happening. Oh well.


Anyone who use rockets on bronze, when enemy is close to die is a retards. <_<

 I don't even notice, Banshee, Atlas, Brutes or even Geth Prime, is so hard in bronze to kill. Please people, i soled on bronze with full squad, so what the hell ? <_<



I've had ppl do that to me countless times. I'd be a shot or two from killing a banshee or prime or whatever and up they'd come and use the missile launcher to nick the kill.......... very immature really.
Anyways, I'll be playing bronze this weekend and not using any consumables. I'm on PS3 so if anyone wants to add me my GT is DarkFaerie316. Hope we can get this done!!!

This is going to be impossible with random people.

As others have stated I'll solo a bronze and team up with some people just for good measure. I only hope we get more escort missions during these matches. They've been sporadic at best for me, although glacier seems to be having an overflow of them.

When so many people want to do solo, the entire op objective is a fail. A massive fail. And that's before it even starts. Especially when most of those people play Gold regularly. It pretty much excludes newer players who are still learning and improving on bronze. IMO, the whole thing is a bad idea and should never have been created. I always thought the idea of the game was teamwork. This runs counter to that in every imaginable way since not that many play with regular teams and mic use is pretty low. Even I have lost patience with mic use and don't bother.

How about doing more ops that aren't going against the grain of the concept (teamwork) of the MP and how about not setting it up so only the best players (Gold and maybe some silvers) can achieve by going solo, and most of all, how about picking an objective you can know you've accomplished. My God, how hard would that be? Does BW go out of it's way to be a tool or what?

No one in the party can use consumables.


People don't even know about the damn Operations on PS3, so this is really going to suck for me. I mean, I could play with some friends, but still. It's going to be impossible for a lot of people on my system to get this one.

And how the hell is it an "Individual Goal"?

So true i play on ps3 and i think for me to do my goal it will be close to impossible bc of my damn squad mates


This is why Im saying that all of us on PS3 should hook up and play together.  At least that way we know nobody will blow it last minute.



Great idea. I'm just gonna post my PS3 handle here if anyone is interested: theWulffmann 
I am going to be playing as much as I can this weekend - and heads up: I'm European so beware of timezone differences!

I've played 7-8 bronze yesterday and I had about 5-6 escort missions. Will do my part all the weekend.

So for the squad goal, if any one in the squad uses those forbidden items, all of us are doomed?

Looks like I'm going to do a Bronze solo for this one.

Huh... I can already see the trolls popping a ops pack or ammo pack in the last 5 seconds of the extraction round...

I don't think that would matter. The challenge is to complete wave 10 without using the supply consumables.

I am only a casual player and spend most of the time playing bronze and silver. It is not hard to solo bronze, without using supply consumables, with Kroguard, shields gear, cyclonic mod and a big shot gun. Did a few successful dry runs yesterday. Only one problem on a wave ten escort drone. The damn drone passed my chars head just at the same time a nasty phantom sneaked up to me. Saw it too late, and it stuck me with the sword in the belly. Nooooo. Still four out of five says it is easily doable.

First I'll do my solo run, just to be on the safe side. Then I'll color my Battlemaster all white with red lights, and I'll be flying Doctor Krogan to help around during the weekend.

I understand the doubt, but the op could build team working. The John Rambo's might decide that running off to the other side of the map away from the squad is too risky.
The newer players would not be confident to try solo.

Better make sure you have Earth DLC downloaded or you will not see an escort mission.

Eern nobody asked Chris if u cnt use consumables does that mmean in order to achieve first pack of chAllenge u must not die at all til wave 10?


I think what the goal is to not use a consumable until wave 11. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I have a feeling they will tell us the full story half way throught the event.

How is this confusing so many?

Do NOT use the following:

Cobra Missiles

Medi-gels

Op Survival Packs

Thermal Clip Packs


It's not confusing people. It's confusing how will they know the other people didn't use them. We get no identication if another uses medigel.
