So I sat down this morning, thinking about the mission and what I said the other day, then I just said, meh, I'll give soloing Bronze a shot. So I got on my KroSen, loaded him up with as many Melee Damage boosters as I could, and popped on Firebase White (mostly so I can see the new layout, haven't been here yet. Loved it,) and against Cerberus.
I got my Gold Melee Kill medal at about wave 5, but at that point, I decided I might as well see where this takes me. Made it all the way to wave 10 when I got sync-killed by a Phantom. Didn't even have time to move out of the way after her melee attack. They obviously wanted me dead at this point.
My reward for all this? A Hurricane III. I'll take it.
