Bwah, well at least up to wave 9.  Surviving wave 10/extraction not so much.
None the less makes those who seem capable of solo-ing Gold all the more insane, and full PUGs who fail >wave 9 (cept vs Collectors, them be crazy mofos) even more frustrating.

Used KroSolider W Reegar and Partical Rifle. Got Hack/Tagets/Pizza Delivery.
Max DR/Shields on Fortification;
No Carnage;
Radius/Grenades/Raduis for Infernos;
Max Weapon Damage Passive;
Shields/Martial Artist/Shields for Rage.

KroSoliders lack of CD caring, spawn smashing Infernos and insane shields made it not too bad.  What classes are really good at solo and tend not to die though?  Even with my Kroganess (MWARR), and 5 OPS packs, it was hard to survive on later waves.

Also Dragoons suck.  Oh whats that, killed 4 of us?  We're back!  Oh wait 4 Infernoes to the ground, kthx we respawn in and come back 10 seconds anyway.  Also stagger resistance.  Though Krogan Charges is a nice dodge vs them when it works.

Not almost. When you see you topscore with acolyte + volus medic, there's a problem. Never play silver with pugs anymore. Always solo or friends.

I couldn't, but then I tried again. Try again.  Get some space, pick them off one at a time, get some cover and look after your shields. You can do it. If I can do it, you can do it.

^__ This. It gets easier with practice. My first solo bronze attempts were disasters but eventually it becomes easy.

I don't really play silver but I did solo it today, debating on trying for Lone Wolf banner, and it was very easy but not easier than a Gold PUG >_>

Nice time dude. Lone Wolf is probably easier than what you just did. kroguard,reegar,geth gold=win.

Dragoons have ruined cerberus. You dont even get to fight cerb because the suicidal on crack idiot dragoons get there way before anything else--depleting the wave budget. Then you clean up what used to be called cerberus.

The faction should be renamed Dragoon And Friends.

edit: dragoons are very staggerable, but you must hit them when they're not in the middle of an animation(attack/roll/climbing a ladder etc). They'll flinch and stagger. But if you see one begin to get that whip out-- nothing will stop him short of killing him. They're a really poorly animated unit. Like not even beta testing worthy.

Reegar + KroGuard Geth almost sounds like cheating, if Geth didn't already hack.

It's Dragoons and their GF the Phantom. With Bob the Atlas making a Guest appearance later on.

Dragoons un-staggerable during the animation would explain a lot, not much you can do without a dodge at that point though.

Nice work Zandoufer :)

I've only just recently been able to confidently tackle Bronze solo and expect to get through, heck, getting to pizza delivery Wave 10 on Rio vs Reapers with my Lvl 8 Fury really did it for me, and Cerberus are really only an issue if you get a Hack or Disable on Wave 10 and just get mobbed by Dragoons, they at the least keep you occupied while a certain female enemy quietly polishes the sword she's about to introduce to your insides if not killing you outright.

My other bad wave 10 (after that Rio attempt, lvl 12 Fury this time) - Goddess/Collectors got disable devices Wave 10 - first one was under the stairs in the left had end hallway...right next to the spawn point for ALL THE THINGS...just got mobbed. Nearly had it done twice before getting mounted by possessed abominations :(

That being said, Lone Wolf will be a ways off for me, even if I can do the Silver solo's, I still don't wanna think about Gold *shudder* - let alone the insane (ly gifted??) people who do the solo platinum runs.

That is what I am starting to notice too. When I solo Silver I have an easier time then a 4 man PUG. Of course what kills me the most is reviving teammates.

my first platinum solo ever was a success. thank goodness. you just need to keep moving and kill 1-2 smaller enemies every time you find a new spot. then move again. the phantoms are very clever at getting the flank on you when you least expect it.

and soloes in some events can be easier because hacks and escorts will be done more quickly

Its not hard at all, really - and WAY more fun than a gold pug.  Solo your stuffs, prove you can do it to yourself, and then smile.

If you can solo brinze you can solo silver.  If you can solo silver......  you can solo gold.

To all you people out there saying they can't do it....  well, I'm 40 years old and can pull it off no sweat.  Its not about reaction  time, its about crowd control, knowing your enemies - and having a lot of fun.

I watched a video of a guy soloing gold, Giant, Reapers with a Fury. He used a scoped Carnifex and it was obvious he didn't spec AF at all. As a result, probably maxed Fitness. The strategy was simply to DC/Throw from a distance and use the scoped Carnifex for headshots, all the while doing a circular run of the map, dispatching the mooks before dealing with the harder stuff. He went down maybe two or three times, IIRC. If you're used to using AF and getting right in the enemy's face, this is a totally different way of doing it. For extraction, he, of course, didn't camp the LZ (it's amazing how many people take the "Get to the extraction zone" command literally, get swarmed and fail extraction), and just kited with the same circular strategy, ending up against the wall on the right side of the extraction zone, and, with a few seconds left on the clock, simply teleported through the wall - safe extraction. I don't remember all of the objectives, but I believe they were pizza deliveries, with assassination on Wave 10, where he just pulled out his RL and killed the targets as quickly as possible. Obviously, a hack objective would be near impossible for a lone Fury.
I've done silver solos using this strategy, without spec'ing out of AF, though. When I do gold, I'll spec out of AF and go full Fitness because a lone Fury on gold will have trouble staying alive using a CQC strategy. I'm sure there are players who can do it, but I don't think I could.

Couple days ago I was playing as a kroguard with a cyclonic modulator IV, melee enhancement III, and a reegar X ( it was a gold game vs the geth) and the host sent me a message stating that my class was for silver at best. I tried explaining to him that the kroguard was one of the best vs the geth because of the lack of sync kills. He then started to say "I don't care, that class is garbage and you're wasting my time" and he tries to kick me. I then kick him too and the other two randoms in the lobby voted to kick him XD He was sooo pissed off lol.

You know, I'm really glad that most PC players don't talk at all when I hear stuff like this.
