20,000 sounds like very little, but keep in mind it doesn't count unless the biotic explosion kills the victim. I'm not sure if, say, you blow up a Banshee for a while and then the last explosion kills her off, whether ALL the explosions count. Or of I throw dark channel and someone else throws warp, if we both share the points... or what.

(Yeah solo with fury for me too)

you just have to do denonation damage it does not in anyway mean they have to die from the explosion just that you hear the biotic explosion go off on them before they die. Its quite simple really and thats why i think this is quite easy i almost have Biotic god done again because thats how easy Biotic stuff is to do. I will probably end up completing the challenge again trying to do this for the pack.

From the blog post:

You will need to kill the enemy with the explosion for the points to count.

For those of us doing this in parties, please remember Dark Channel doesn't detonate, but like Stasis it overwrites a biotic effect that someone else set, say with Warp or Reave.

If you're going to run an N7 Fury, if you see a biotic effect already on a target, use Throw instead of Dark Channel! The primers get their explosion progress, but the detonators sadly don't =(
So let's help out others by detonating their biotics.

Many will not do it that way.
Operation Detonator is going to proof that topping the scoreboard by using a fury spamming DC without detonating other players powers with throw first, does not mean that a player contributed to the team.

Hopefully it is a foreshadowing that they will replace the last-in-first-out-mechanic with a first-in-first-out-mechanic, that LIFO-mechanic is ok for SP and was barely tolerable in MP, but with the introduction of challenges (only your own points count) and the buff of fire and cryo on top of that it became a nightmare.

Incorrect - it specifically says you have to kill the enemy with the explosion for it to count. Which, unless playing on bronze and unless you have the right evolutions will require some pretty smart timing on many enemies. It could turn out to take longer than a 50k challenge given the 'must die' criterion.

[Kinom001]

Screw it. I'm going old school and using my Human Sentinel. Warp, then Throw...BOOM!

[codename2o2]

20,000 points for biotic explosions?

My Fury is ready.

[Derek Hollan]

Tip: Be aware that the points are only awarded if you kill with the explosion.  A biotic explosion that only wounds will not count for the 20k points required.

Have fun!

[canerican]

*reads the mission requirements* damnit all my BE tend to show up as throw kills (or whatever i used to trigger it... typically throw)

[Schw4ng1n]

All Drell run?

I see. Well, thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to spread the word.

[ClockworkSpectre]

20,000 points is far to few. Should have been more like 60,000~80,000 points.

Thanks for the clarification Derek!

Soften your targets with a burst first then let fly!  I've been doing nicely with a Justicar of late.  "Throw" then "Reave" Boom!

Oh a my new favorite sound is the Possessed Collector Captain burning down when you kill him.  That sounds really cool.

[poonts]

20k points? laughable. but hey I love biotics so at least there will be more in my lobbies.

This could be harder than you think. If you have to make the Kill with a BE, you might want to play on silver or gold. since the challenge system was installed, if the enemy will die due to power of the Skill used, the kill gets counted as a kill for that skill and not as a BE

SO, if you reave a mook, then throw a cluster nade at it, chances are the kill is credited to the nade and not the BE.

something to think about. 

nobody has any thoughts on this??? I'm shocked

i don't think they could walk if they tried ;-)  Count me in tho.

Oh, this is going to suck and end very badly.

You said it.

Enemies dodging Biotic attacks like crazy? Enemies that become immune to Biotic attacks? Tech powers that mess up Biotic Explosions? Biotic characters that go down faster than you can blink due their utterly crappy health & shields? Biotic skills being bugged and not doing what they are supposed to do? Also it only counts if the BE gets the kill? This weekend challenge is going to be frustrating.

The only character I can see pulling this off is the N7 Fury.

am i bad i seem to have missed the fine print lol

That changes things very much

[Gornok]

Oh Yeah!!!

Its time for the detontator!

[ThomasakaDes_]

Hmm, so solo playing and fury is the easiest way to get this one then?
Since it'll be hard to be alone at doing this with 4 players.

That's how I'm going to do it.

However, I think the fact that there have been so many people voicing different opinions (Drells adepts, Asari justicars, Furies, and more) proves what a good challenge this is. People always complain, but don't notice this.

[Smallpox_Jenkins]

This might be a bit difficult.
If the explosion doesn't outright kill them, the DoT from something like Warp or DC might.

[stysiaq]

Drell Adept round, would do it anyway.

[AzureSky899]

Turian Adept pretty much confirmed........I think they can squeeze a new class in after last class in Reta......maybe Turian vanguard? Just replace fuel of jet thrusters with biotic field thrusters or something
