Sooo... We see a lot of threads around here about solos. But all of them are about completed solos, nice runs and nice times.

This time, I wanna break this rule.

I mean, anyone who has attempted solos at a high level knows that for every "right" run, where everything go as planned, and you get to do what you wanted to... There are tons, and tons of runs in which you get screwed up by something. It can be any number of things: from the rng giving you devices on wave 6 /10 glacier (personally, this is my #1 reason), to the game itself giving you bull**** in some form (synckills come to mind), to... Just you derping around and doing something very stupid.

So this time, I wanna go against the current and show you guys just one of these runs. One in which I derped hard.

Why? Cause it was a very nice run, in my opinion. I did everything right, got the right objectives, positioned myself in the right places... I missed some shots here and there, but I was very satisfied with the overall gameplay. It just didn't seem right to dump this run into the closet and forget about it, so I'm sharing it with you. It also showcases pretty well the potential of this loadout on the Trooper, for those who have never tried it.

The setting was Collectors/Glacier, and I used a Geth Trooper with a Javelin. I was trying to go sub 20, and managed to get to wave 9 in 13:30 with 3 missiles left, and without using any gel or ops pack. Then... Wave 9 just didn't go the right way.

[Spoiler alert]

This is how it ended:



[/Spoiler alert]

I might blame the stupid "one button to rule them all" which made me lock into hard cover instead of dodging (I actually do, at least a bit), but even then... The truth is that I derped out quite a bit. I shouldn't have let myself got sneaked up by the Praetorian that way, and even if I did, dodging left instead of forward would have saved me, probably.

So, without further ado... Let me present you: This Hurts You

I hope you guys enjoy watching it and that maybe some of the newest members around learn a trick or two. As always, constructive criticism is welcomed, as are questions and suggestions.

Couldn't you have made this thread earlier?

I recorded a failed Gold solo today but then deleted it because of reasons.

It looked like good play to me - just that one big derp moment. We all have those. Very good play though, overall.

This morning I got collectors on giant and got the pizza delivery on 3 and 6. Managed to survive but used almost all gels and ops packs. Needless to say, game didn't go smoothly aftrr that. Taken down by 2 sniper scions in 8 I think. I think if I'd have gotten something different in one of those waves, I'd have been cool

Too bad .. looks like it was a really good run until you became a Pratorians twinkie ..

[ArcaptSSX]

I strongly advise you to get into coalesced editing to get rid of the one button to rule them all. I was wary of it until the Talon merc came, but then i never looked back. Separating the 3 functions takes maybe 3 or 4 hours to get entirely used to it, but it so much comfortable and not complicated at all, you wouldn't regret it.

Flamer and Javelin? Why? 

Because they synergize awesomely together. Besides, it's a Javelin. You shouldn't be asking why to a Javelin: the Javelin goes well on everything

Yeah, I know. There was a time, long ago, in which I played with the idea of doing it. But I dumped the idea after a while because: 1) I'm very used to the configuration as it is right now. It would take ages to get used to the new one, I'm afraid. But mostly 2) I'm lazy. Terribly lazy, when it gets to these things. I couldn't be arsed, even though I know it causes some problems from time to time, like... Well, like this

Typhoon trooper or GTFO.

Trooper with javelin is a good combo no need for flamer, imho

How often do you get killstreaks without missiles with your nice, shiny weapon platforms?

Can you kill a Scion in 2.3 secs with those setups?

Well I don't actually need to, because I don't have to get close to it

Less risk of getting staggered and swarmed by enemies

Flamerless trooper is for people who wish they were playing cowadoodie.  <_<

Give the GI his javelin back, the GT only needs the flamer.

"Look at the flames!"

I should make more fail montages.
Those are actually really fun to edit together when you got the time for it.

[dragaaan]

They should remove sync kill mechanic. There must be a better way to implement this.

You used to play that build too you know.

Sad to see this, it was a nice, good and firm gameplay, deserved to success.

I had the exact same fate recently on FB:Dagger in a Collector/Gold solo, strange coincidence I played flamer trooper too  (though I used Talon, not the Jav). A praetorian sneeked upon me while I fought with a Scion and at the moment I noticed he grabbed me. I hate sync-kills.

[jakenou]

I just miraculously finished a totally derpy Glacier/Cerb/Gold solo. It was derpy bc I totally bungholio'ed a pizza delivery (wave 6 I think) which resulted in a gel and a missile - this is on PC, so we're usually happy with pizza. The irony is I had 4 devices on wave 10, and was ready to kiss the game goodbye... but I made it somehow. It was messy, but I made it. Also used last gel and ops pack mid-way on extraction wave. Eeep!

(gonna go watch naow)

[StoxRegalia]

Hazard glacier/collectors/platinum wave 10. 5 medigel left but only three rockets. I get targets. No way those banshees were going to let me finish off the last preatorian.
