I might try insanity. Does it still count if you only take one of the guns with you?

I don't really expect my completions to get added to HoF btw. I'm just here because I'm bored and want to see how well others do.

 I am really enjoying the spirit of this thread and figured I'd promote it to my channel....so I then go and do the insanity challenge with Mr Thane Krios....get to wave 8 Flawless...no deaths and then I get this....... I will try again later.....

Collector solo.. dat wave 8..
I suppose most people will go shuriken with power ampifer mod

Waves like that are what missiles were created for... 

That wave sucks because it doesn't have abominations, abominations are good since they have a high budget value.

Actually using the viper may be better, dunno, I just hate that thing so much, so yeah, Shuriken power mod.

@landylan: I'll still add you to the HoF with the asterisk, you've done all of them so far. It's all for fun. I'd say you have to have both weapons for insanity to keep it standard.

@INVADERONE: Thanks man! Good luck on the challenge there have been a ton of brutal connection issues today across the board.

@Zjarcal: I 'm not sure which gun is better, I'm trying to get used to hip firing the viper (since there is minimal damage loss) but we'll see, I do like that 30% power boost with the Shuriken. Knockinbr4in used the viper III amp on his build, so I'm assuming that was his focus. We'll see when we start seeing some vids.

Wait, I can actually take only the Tempest for the other run? I'm starting to get fed up with auto-aim and all the fkn bullsh!t associated with it.

Tell me about it. I had two collector troopers and one captain in front of me at one point and I wanted to shoot the one on the right who was weakest...I zoom in....and it focuses on the one on the left.....enemies shooting at me wildly while I was stunned trying to figure it all out. Auto assist! Stop assisting me!

For either run, both weapons have to be equipped. You don't necessarily have to use it, but they should be equipped.

I wish an on/off option would have been included but obviously it's impossible for people on consoles to be able to aim without snap-aim right? I remember a thread more than half a year ago advocating this idea of an on/off option, never got any attention from BioWare at all. So much fun.

That's what I thought. 160% CD is still plenty I suppose.

Interesting challenge this week. I will have a crack (or ten) after work this evening.

Probably use this build:

This is how I feel about the Insanity challenge.

On the other hand the collectors have a nice fridge!

Oh shields. How I miss thee... and the BEEEEES suck.

I'm giving it a go tonight, should be interesting. I'm pretty sure every other challenge will seem too easy after this week

@the eight: good luck!

Considering how quickly the insanity challenge has been done already, I think the difficulty is just fine 

[Max Dmian]

Gave the Insanity challenge a go and took a different approach - I'm gonna call it the Leland Gaunt strategy: Full grenade spam, only 3 points in passives.

This is the build + Warp Rounds IV.

Shuriken equipped for power damage, Viper to actually kill things when necessary since I feel quite comfortable with Sniper Rifles.
+115% power recharge on paper, so actually +165% with the weight bug - which is more than enough.
Radius on grenades because the shrapnels spread out everywhere on host, Power Amp IV because I basically only relied on grenades and stacking Reave. Stole Knocking's idea and used Barriers & Armor evolution on Reave.

General idea was to annhilate the first spawn and then run from ammo box to ammo box to keep the grenade count high and the enemies from spreading out. Focused on Abominations (that's why I wanted Radius and Lift Damage for Pull - also: higher BE damage for Troopers and Captains), stack Reave for Scions and Praetorians.



Objectives: Pizza, Pizza, Hack

Didn't record because it was actually just a trial run to see if the strategy worked for me because I died a lot with the classic build/strategy. But I'll do the run with the Valiant and record it to see if I can go faster, which I'm not really sure of, since I rely on grenades and because I hate grinding objectives. You could say they were perfect for this run.

Congrats. That's a quickest time so far. Thanks for explaining the build and strategy. I'm sure a lot of people will be trying this out, myself included. I agree, I actually don't mind the viper. I'll be sure to film my trial run since a lot of people seem to be getting it actually pretty easily!

HoF updated, new quickest time!

[Zjarcal]

Ok, time to go for a better time now. =P

Considering going for armor and barrier damage on Reave now. Will also prolly put 3 points in pull instead of maxing the passives, as well actually using the Viper.

I need a break from soloing. At least for a couple of days.

To hell with that lol. I've tried it again and got a new best time, but it's only the hardcore challenge so I don't expect the record to last very long. I'm gonna upload a video once I got sub 30.

Oh and congrats to everyone who completed the insanity challenge. I'm not sure if I'm even gonna try it.



Short breakdown:
No Pull, Adrenaline Mod 3, Grenade Capacity, never used the Tempest once. Objectives: Hack, Pizza, Escort. I also had plenty of consumables left at the start of extraction (1 Cobra, all 6 Thermal Clip Packs and a couple of Ops Packs and Medi-Gel).

At one point I cursed aloud because of an awful mistake I made. It could have been faster even

Success!





Wave 3: Targets
Wave 6: Escort
Wave 10: Pizza

I've never really played the Drell Adept that much, so my first two attempts were warm ups.

I changed my power set up for the 3rd attempt (I stole Max's, I liked his logic behind it) and then really got into a groove with this character! Nailed it with a five waves survived in there. Funnily enough, I found the most difficult waves to be the 1st and 2nd... mad collector trooper/captain DPS owning me.

I think I can definitely shave some time off of this if I survive through those waves with no wasted consumables and then be able to be more aggressive in the latter waves. Totally trying it again tomorrow.

@The Eight: Congrats! That's a solid time too! 3rd attempt, insanity challenge complete. I like it. Yeah, I'm thinking of going with Max's build and see how it goes.

@kouzrah: Thanks for the post!

Yeah, wasn't too bad. I found this challenge to be significantly easier than last week. Scions and Praetorians were jokes, just a healthy dose of...

Reave ===> Cluster ===> Shuriken Burst(s) ===> Repeat

...and they were dead.

It was those mooks that flanked that caused problems. That's why I didn't even use the Viper; I found it useless off the hip and taking the time to scope in just got me shot up. Gameplay was sort of like this:

Mooks
(Groups) Reave ===> Cluster
(Unshielded) Pull ===> Reave
(Unshielded) Pull ===> CLUSTER IN THE ASS!
(Shielded) Reave ===> Shuriken Burst(s)===> Pull ===> Reave
(Shielded) Reave ===> CLUSTER IN THE FACE!

Bosses
(Single & Groups) Reave ===> Cluster ===> Shuriken Burst(s) ===> Repeat

Shuriken performed well for the application of Warp Rounds IV. The extra biotic damage & armour weakening was effective.


Also, build was slightly different from Max's:

kalence.drupalgardens.com/me3-builder#14!4106575!5401575!34O543!DB03G

Took Force & Damage for Rank 4 Cluster Grenades and used an SMG Rail Amp 3. Furthermore, lightened up the Viper with ultra-light materials.

 I probably would have made it in my first attempt, but a wave 6 hack (the one in the Reactor) depleted all of my ops and thermal clip packs and missiles.  I limped on to wave 9 with my medi-gel before getting taken down mid-wave. All subsequent attempts have been a fiasco.  My drell has bad karma.
