This thread used to be a place for challenge submissions. Now it's a hellhole of bureaucracy. Working as intended.
Fixed.

Actually, I think this means we're really getting into the spirit of the Alliance! Let's take out that bureaucratic frustration on the field soldiers!
Bonus 10th Week Anniversary Special – The Heart of Hydra (Platinum)
66:57 - ex-Clusum (334 580 pts) [v]
I have seen Guardian do a combat roll, have played staring game with 2 geth primes, tried dodging 4 geth rocket trooper rockets and ate 2 atlas missiles to the face. Was this worth enduring geth/hydra? I cannot say.
But here's the guardian dodge anyway:
And here's Mordus (Hardcore)
21:27 - ex-Clusum (241 446 pts)
HoF up to date.
Very impressive Plat solo ex-Clusum 
. I never thought that would get done on platinum. Do you think it was harder than First Blink After Coma on platinum?

I think alot of challenges were harder than week 2. Pulse of Thessia, Zero Kelvins, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 10, Week 12, Mordus Calibrations - to name all i can remember of the top of my head that gave me more trouble. Mind you, I was pretty new to platinum when I did week 3 - 5 so not sure there.
White is a simple map with lots of RHAable line of sight breakers where you can just kite and kite indefinitely. Hydra is an open map with bosses constantly getting stuck at LZ, cerberus turrets sniping you from a few really horrible positions making geth wave 3 pizza\escort much harder than on other maps. And those spawns on objective waves, eww.
And in truth, I think week 2 is not anywhere close to the stuff that geth/hydra can throw at you.
I guess I will post up some vids for Alliance Troopers.
Mission 1 - Backwater Station
Packages, Hack, Escort. This is with Tech Burst ActionTM. I was thinking about redoing it with AP and more bullets to see if that would work better for me. I got dreaded middle map devices a couple times before this and threw in the towel. I actually did this one Wednesday and was originally not going to post it since I planned to redo it.
Mission 2 - Hearts and Minds
Hack, Hack, Packages. Yeah hitscan is in full force here. I used Disruptor Ammo. The game kept giving me devices on 6 over and over again and I was taking too long. Then I got it with Targets, Devices, Targets, except that I was one Planck length outside the extract circle. Well, it might have been slightly further than that. 
Mission 3 - Force Multiplier
Devices, Hack, Devices. This was slow. I took AM3 for this mission, along with Stronghold. The speed was helpful since the game was giving me devices so much.

I only have 2 left to do actually, but then I might do redos. Or I might not do any solos today and just run Revenant with ROF bonuses to shoot things.
^ Nice! I'll get some vids going to join you soon capn! I will also add those to the HoF right now

Yeah, I asked, because I think that Heart of Hydra Platinum may very well be the most difficult Plat solo in the thread. Right up there with Zero Kelvins. Most definitely a Legendary solo!
For those interested, (If I may), here's a link to ex-Clusum's playlist with this really quite impressive list of Legendary solos

Make sure to play Anvil of Crom when you do Boom Stick, haha.
Question - is Thermal Scope on the Lancer allowed for Backwater Station?
Since geth Scanner is not in the ROE, I'm not sure about the thermal imager.

I'll have to defer to capn for this. In the Outlier series, I did allowed it, despite banning Geth Scanner, but I guess it comes down to preference of the series founder!
Triune Trials
N2 I Resolve of the Shadowbroker with ex-Clusum and Zachoida
I suggest to remove the medal requs for Plat. We did N2 II but we missed one medal. I don´t think that WS are possible for later challenges

N2 is kinda ok (except BF3 Soldier who needs to work his ass off to get 2nd medal), it's just that in the latter ones you need like 9 total and those aren't all that easy to get and well trios grind meh, there's no guarantee that you'll get even 75 kills. I dont have much problem with 3-5 ws reqs, those are definitely possible albeit can be very frustrating depending on the host.
also, do I need to equip Omni-Blade for platinum batarian bonus challenge?

Yeah, we had a fun time trying to get that second gold for the BF3 soldier as well. I was thinking of revising the medals for the Triune Trials. I'll update it later today. I'd like to still keep some medal requirements but I'll make it a little more feasible.
And no, you don't need to equip the omni-blade for the Platinum version of the bonus.

Since geth Scanner is not in the ROE, I'm not sure about the thermal imager.
Is it human designed?
We'll assume it is made by Kassa or Ariake, and allow it. I didn't think about that mod, but that might be a smart one to use there.

Also, here is a taste of A Bug's Life with Warp Ammo, which I will upload later today.
Force Multiplier (Gold)
Escort -> Devices -> Targets
Terrible time, but I got difficult objectives. Also, I got synced on my previous run 20 seconds before extraction. Would definetly not bang again^^
I've modified the reqs for the Triune Trials.
A bug´s life (Gold)
Targets -> Pizza -> Devices (Pffffff!)
Mission 1 - Backwater Station
40:37 - ctc91 (278 768 pts)
Targets > Devices > Targets
Mission 5 - Boom Stick
41:36 - ctc91 (307 906 pts)
Hack > Pizza > Hack
Phantom DR is a real joy on Angel of Death.

Use drill rounds, targeting VI, cranial trauma mod. Use CB to force bubble and 4-5 quick headshots will kill her. Phantom dead in 5 secs.
