Had a couple of smooth gold PUGs with ToastTheKnowing, then I figured I'd convince her to move to platinum which I did.
I chose to keep the same kit and weapon : FHE+Carnifex, a kit I love but that I mostly use on gold and certainly not for U/U/P with PUGs. We readied ourselves, felt pretty confident after our previous matches and then we landed on............... Condor.................... Geths.......................
Things went surpinsigly well for the first 6 waves, even with the fourth player leaving the game early with no replacement later. Barely any deaths or consumables needed except for a quick rough moment that cost us a bit but that we managed to get out of. Then wave 7, 8 and 9 proceeded to slowly crush our hope of ever making it to extraction. We still made our way to wave 10 and after wave 3 targets, wave 6 devices, the RNG God gave us the coup de grâce by throwing another round of devices to our faces. We got 3 out of 4 before we all bled out...... Really wish I had taken Arc Pistol instead of Carnifex but it probably wouldn't have made any difference to be honest.
After screwing us over, the RNG God gave us something easier : Ghost Reapers, which we manged to extract with some difficulties and again as a team of 3 (with some glorious Banshee beating down at the end of wave 10)
All in all, those were really fun games, even the one a Condor was a blast, good times !
