Their Drones have Hunter Mode and start shooting at you before you even pop out of cover. You don't even have to dodge Dragoon whips, you can simply sidestep them. You can't dodge Combat Drones however, and they usually come in pairs. Kill one and the next one is spawned right afterwards.
Dragoons die quickly and are extremely helpful to deplete the spawn budget quickly. They also have a maximum per wave limit on Gold (6), so if you deal with them at the start of the wave, the rest is free of Dragoons. Primes however keep respawning until the wave budget is empty, and they take a lot of time to kill.
Also, you can't use Ops Packs while staggered. In fact, you can't do anything while staggered.

I should be happy about this but I sort of feel like I need to go sit in a corner and stare at a wall because while my gameplay was decent considering I am the most derp drell, MSI Afterburner is out to sabotage me and I only got the last seven minutes of the game recorded. I'll still upload that, however.

Objectives were area hack(cheese)/objects/objects, an extremely lucky draw. The video will contain last part of wave 8 (I think) plus 9, 10, and extraction. I got a recon mine killstreak in wave 4, then missile spammed in wave 8 to get the next two.

Thats still an amazing time! I love watching all the vids for these challenges (there are so many great players taking part), but I must confess that I tend to skip to wave 6 on since thats where i tend to run into poblems. You just saved me the trouble of fast forwarding!
I'm thinking those later challenges will be a step too far for me, but I'll still try... If I succeed be ready for another 100 min masterpiece (cough). I'll just pretend I'm Tolstoy

Thanks! And having completed more than a few lengthy masterpieces myself, it should be said that some solos require a more refined, elegant approach and must be crafted with great care.
Actually as far as solo videos go, tbh I typically don't watch the entire thing either, just enough to get a feel for it... usually wave 1, the objectives, and bits of certain waves with interesting spawns to see how it's handled, and anything that's bookmarked by the uploader.

And here's the video for Morning War (in super low quality), since I had to make room on my HD:
25:01 - Hendrix137 (270 000 pts) [v]
I'm sure I could do this 3-4 mintues faster with Grenade Capacity and good objectives, but that would require me to play against Geth again...maybe when somebody beats my time.

Very nice times all around. I agree bgsam, I may never get to N2 cause I'm going to keep re-doing N1 to get quicker times. :/ lol well done.

lol hendrix, 25 minutes without grenade capacity, you're killing the game and you should be nerfed big time
Lol.
I know one way he could be nerfed....
Seriously though, those are some ridiculously quick times!!

This was the best I could manage today. I will do it as soon as I can get a run without devices or targets.

This is pretty much me procrastinating on doing the Vorcha Engineer challenge... I don't like the look of that one. I have a video that I may or may not upload, I think my original video is more entertaining.
Edit: I actually made progress, here's a new one:
N5 pt. III - The Intangible is Unstoppable

I have literally no clue at all how to use missiles to get killstreaks or do grabs on Goddess.

Nicely done ctc. so close to sub20
I definitely lol'd with the Hendrix must be nerfed post. lol
@ ReaperRed: I like that, I'm not sure how to get grabs and killstreaks.. may as well just get the 10WS, no biggie. lol Nicely done

More attempts by me to stop sucking at sniping. About 8 mins faster than my run with suppressor.

Golden screen lol
Objectives: Pizza x 3 (even though I am not a big fan of the pizza objective, I'll take it over the stupid escorts this map has to offer)
Will upload video later.
Once again, Hendrix's spawn control strategy helped me a bit. Everytime I redo a solo after watching his, I tend to shave off 5+ mins. Thanks!

Improved my time by 10 mins with 10 WS. I wasted a missile on wave 6 targets on the first prime as the target didn't change. Derp!

Objectives: Hack > Targets > Pizza
Video on the way!

Pizza/Escort/Escort
Quite a smooth run with 10WS, although I had two longass pizza deliveries on wave 3 and a longass escort on wave 6, but what else can you expect on FB Rio? LZ hack is worse by far, since you cannot cheese it.

Almost done now!
@Haxn: Impressive! Need to watch your video when I get time, maybe I can learn something to improve my own run.
@bgsam: Another 10 WS with the Drell, very nice. I'm glad I could help.

I also got a 10 WS run that is one minute slower. Not sure yet which one I'm gonna upload. Maybe I'll even try to beat DHKanys time before the video comes, but he set the bar pretty high.
So, that should make me N7. If I calculated correctly, my total time is somewhere barely below 10 hours. Still, I'm not done yet, there are a couple of solos I'd like to redo before I upload the video.
