It's time to dust off my old Geth Pulse Rifle. This way I can kill three birds with one stone:

1. Operation BALLISTIC
2. Machine Mastery
3. Assault Rifle Mastery

Haven't used the GPR in ages, but I remember it being painfully under-powered. Should I use it on a Turian then?

Use it on a Geth character.  The GPR has great stability, so one of the big advantages of the Turian characters is wasted.  As you say, it's under powered.  A Geth character can help with that in their skills passives.

GPR+EB+AP+AR Bonus gear+AR rail amp.  Ammo as appropriate.  Zoom aim. Head shot.  Won't make it a great weapon, but will make it effective.

Thanks, Grinch57.  I didn't even think about the stability power on the Turian being wasted.  Good advice!

on a side note: after people complained the operations were too easy, we get this, another easy one, yet people are acting like its hard/challenging...the bsn, a funny place

It doesn't happen for most outside of solos. ****, with my friends, it's actually pretty rare for anyone to have a 75 kill medal at all using both powers and weapons. It also doesn't count as a kill with that weapon if you have ammo powers, at least some of the time, because ammo powers sort of make it not register as a weapon kill sometimes.

Is that true, ammo equipment will not count as weapon kills?

This is going to be a hard one for a powers based player like myself.    Anyone got a best weapon/character combo to make this happen?

No definitely not in the case of Warp ammo. I'm not so sure about tech, fire bursts or even the dot from incendiary, but it is very easy to get a 75 kill medal using warp ammo. So it cant be.

Other than soloing, playing on gold or higher will make this easier because the spawn budgets are much higher. As a tip just always concentrate on smaller enemies which will respawn and don't deplete the spawn budget anywhere near as much as the bigger things.

lol @ all the people saying this is easy...that was not my first thought.
I don't think I've ever gotten a silver weapon kills medal, much less a gold one - I am way too power-happy for that. This will be fun/actually a challenge for me!

I'm in the same boat, except for the "this will be fun part".  Bloody soloing objectives is a PAIN!

I've never soloed before, so I'm thinking now is maybe not the time to start trying...will probably just play two duo matches with someone, focusing on each person's challenge completion separately.

Forgive my ignorance, I just kill them, I don't know what meakes em' work... Do husks and smaller enemies respawn?  At what level of enemy (ie. maurauder, etc.) do enemies no longer respawn?

Good info to know even outside of the challenge.

Thanks

This is gonna be easy with a Javelin X.

Check out social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/12857013

basically whatever type of enemy you kill respawns straight away until the spawn budget for the wave has expired. So say you simply kill husks and nothing else, husks will keep respawning until nothing else will respawn, then you will have to deal with everything else. And killing a husk only counts for one tenth of the amount that killing a banshee does in terms of the spawn budget. So as I said, if you want to rack up high numbers of kills, focus on smaller enemies.

Put it on a Quarian Marksman with full fire rate Marksman and full weapon debuff TS, slap some AR amps on there along with some AP rounds and enjoy the rebirth of the Collector Particle Beam.

I don't like the fact that soloing this and playing gimped (not using powers) is needed. It is almost never that I will rack up 75 kills, with one weapon type, in a match with a team. Hell, a lot of the time - especially on Silver and Bronze - you won't see anyone pull a 75 kill medal.

on bronze/silver, outside of soloing, it's hard,  but on gold/plat 75 kills is easy....the only thing that might make this even remotely a step above easy is if people forget to get all the kills with the same weapon...other than that, people will be getting this done with ease....and not only soloing....teams on gold/plat should have a couple people get it done in the same game....it's possible with a team on silver, but it'd probably only be 1 person get it done, unless it's a duo, then both could do it...

as for ammo powers: that would make it tougher cause some of the kills would be explosions instead of weapon kills...if people wanna use an ammo powers though, all they'd have to go with are  AP or drill rounds...warp rounds too...dont think they cause explosions as easily as other types....

this is not as hard as you think....the only thing you have to remember is to use the same weapon to get your kills....cause i understand about the use of powers, they are so much fun lol......anyway, after the operation starts, watch you come back talking about 'this wasnt as hard as i thought it was gonna be...it was actually easy '....

[ThomasakaDes_]

Back to using the Canifex or the Paladin then.
Paladin does more damage I think, but Canifex has more in one round I think.

yall dont have to solo....you can do this as a duo on silver+ or as a team on gold/plat....and multiple people will get it done in the same game (the duo on silver+; 2 on gold [maybe 3]; 3 on plat)

for the people that think this is gonna be hard, here is a bit of advice to make it easy for you:

if you have any weapon challenges you need to get done, use this to help with that

Ok time to get the Revenant out and learn to use it taking on board the suggestions of Ms Phoenix

[khannoir]

Everyone is talking about the goal and strategies....I'm more interested in the "and we must destroy husk-creation mechanisms like Dragon’s Teeth." bit...

Could this be a precursor of things to come...perhaps in a DLC?

Getting 75 kills isn't "hard" the hard part is doing it with a single gun since powers, ammo and allies can all mess that up. 

I might go respec a class into all the passives to remove the habit of using a power.

You sure that you and your people aren't on substantially different skill levels, or that you don't drag out objective waves much longer than necessary? Because seriously, it very rarely happens in games with friends, and we pretty much always play Gold together (some Platinum).

I only first asked about it when I got a "75 kills" medal with my Human Infiltrator that isn't spec'd for grenades without getting the 75 Sniper Kills medal. I had armor piercing ammo on.

[Rolenka]

Gotta stop making these ones that basically have to be soloed.
