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!

As a weapon with very high RoF and low damage per shot, it is very vulnerable to armor reduction. Combining an ammo that reduces armor effectiveness with an AP mod will let you reduce armor to 0 and completely negate that weakness. If you don't want to spend/depend on a consumable, Warp and Cryo blast are two powers that work just as well as the ammo.
Additionally the GPR is extremely light (for an AR) so it makes a very good weapon for caster classes with one of these two powers. Not that it is of much use if you're trying to get a 75 AR kills medal, but it's a big reason why the GPR isn't useless.

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

This really doesn't have to be soloed. It's going to be much easier for many to do it in solo, true, but there are other ways.

First, if you can play Platinum, using a good weapon focused class should get you the medal after a few completely normal matches.
In Gold, that's going to be harder, but doable if you drag out the objectives (especially if another player has the same idea, just don't get a game over by completely ignoring the mission). It's a challenge.
If you have friends, you can have some play support focused classes (debuffs, heal, and crowd control) while a couple of players focus on weapon DPS, then you rotate.
If you only have one friend, it's really not hard to get this on a Silver duo, or even Bronze.

Now if you don't have a single friend to play with and can't coordinate your actions with PUGs and can't play the high difficulties ... then you might be forced to solo it. But it's not like the challenge itself can only be accomplished in solo.

Yay, stickied!

[Tymathee]

oh no more reapers, so i must kill anything with my gun? makes no sense...

would've been better if the operation was an overall test of marksmanship, or a marksmanship contest, something about GUNS.

[bigfutus]

Yeah, 10x gold headshot medals would be good.

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).

do i play with good players? yes

do i/we drag out objective waves? no....i/we get objectives done as quick as possible....cause i/we dont care about score and score would be the only reason to drag out objective waves....

you're doubting me, but i have no reason to lie to you or anyone else on here...it's really not hard to get 75 kills in matches....in private gold matches that i play with people on my friendslist, it's not uncommon for the top 2 people to both have the 75 kills medals, and the 3rd person have the 50 kill/50 assist medals...in plat games, the top 3 might have the 75 kill medals....

Can anyone give some hints for a new player with limited equipment who has only managed to solo 5 waves on bronze?
(I prefer to host & sometimes start solo when noone pops into my lobby, if noone joins I've so far run out of medigel during objectives on wave 6.)

what kinda hints you looking for? general gameplay,solo, or just this operation hints?

if you want hints for this operation, here goes a couple;

- use a gun you like using
- use powers to weaken enemies, and just shoot them to finish them off for the kill
- dont be ashamed to run away...sometimes you have to, to regroup/get shields back...doing that saves ops/gels usage
- speaking of ops/gels, try to use ops first....they refill health and shields fully, while gels bring you back with part health and no shields

...if you on ps3, hit me up and we can play some games.....psn name is the same as here

I am going to do it with the shuriken

Dear America, when will you be done borrowing our language? Surely it's about time u invented your own by now, being the great nation u r.

Dear England,

Borrowing implies we're going to give it back. We took it from you guys, then gave it our accent. Just one more thing we stole from the British.

Hugs and kisses,
United States.

P.S.: We also spell it "you" and "are", so maybe it's for the best.

Actually, I believe the American accent is closer to what english sounded like around the 1600s. The southern accent even closer. Certain words and pronunciations survived here and not there. The language has diverged quite a bit, not to mention regional differences here and in the UK.

On topic.... Turian soldier, pick a weapon, bronze solo go.

[Computron2000]

Too bad there is no allied goal or maybe we would get a husk mode extra wave for failing LOL

[Kira Sierra Cyrus]

Already finished it. Got disconnected the first time (losing my precious power-ups, tfunk you for that, bioware), was successful on the second try. Used Revenant with N7 Destroyer

Got another upgrade for Crusader (third time in a row). Thanks for "variety", Bioware MP Team!

Uh.. I just got done with solo but didn't get the pack? Said i had 75 kills unless.. I am doing it wrong >

[snow0815]

Just launched ME3 on pc, tells me I need an online pass. Great, just in time for the event.

[hawkera_prime]

Gotta have 75 kills with one specific weapon (of your choice). Some of those kills you got, the enemy may have gotten the killing blow from a power.

So, for example, you need to get the killing blow on 75 enemies using ONLY your Claymore... or ONLY your Harrier... or ONLY your Carnifex, etc.

Oh.. crap lol thank you! I was using powers + nades to back them off

I'm curious as to what people have got for completing this, as my reward of 5 cobra's, some drill rounds+3 and the N7 Valiant was rather underwhelming

[Flusher]

Ok just played a gold PUG with my Geth Engineer and a Harrier, got the gold Medal for 75 kills with an assault rifle, extracted aaaaaaand...NO COMMENDATION PACK! wtf?

[Flusher]

Oh yeah cool....in my challenges the weekend challenge is on 0 %. Perfect, bioware. Thumbs Up! Very motivating!

Was it definitely the 75 assault rifle kill medal, or just the 75 kills medal?

If definitely the former, just send Bryan Johnson a private message. He's very good and quick about looking into missing Comm Pack issues.

This OP was made for trolling. At least I finally get to use my Armored Compartments Gear.

You should use TGI (stim packs ftw) with Krysae or any Assault Rifle you have and solo Geth Bronze on Giant or White.
Kill mooks first, leave the bosses last.
On objective waves if there are to much enemies around objective, lure all enemies on the other side of map, cloak and run to objective, rinse and repeat..
You have long cloak duration so  disabling 1234 objective without losing cloak should be no problem for you, but don't rely on that.
On wave 11 stay far away from LZ until there are only 30-20 seconds remaining (depends fom map) and only then run for it.

Good advice.
I've only ever soloed Bronzewith a FHE with full shields/power and overload and a combat drone with missiles.

.......which will not work this weekend

also Do not rush! take your time when not on a clock.
Running backwards on pizza runs is quicker...

 Could we please have squad goals?  Most of Hess individual goals take no more than 15 minutes to achieve.  Please challenge the seasoned players.  Too many are losing interest because you can't keep it interesting. You can provide different challenge levels for the more experienced players.
