Force Multiplier.
Hack/Objects/Targets
Boom Stick (Gold) with 10WS


Targets -> Escort -> Hack
<----Too chicken for Novaguard. Never learnt that technic
.
Angel of Death (Gold)



Hack -> Hack -> Devices
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.
Yeah I shouldn't have tried to go AP.
I might redo it. Also thinking of dropping CT for HVB since most of the time it doesn't save me a shot, and is mildly better for turrets and Atlases.
Mission 4 - A Bug's Life, aka Aliens, aka Get In Close!
Hack, Escort, Hack. Used Warp Ammo and Tech Armor. I probably should have made the faction Reapers so the Tech Armor option would be more popular, oh well. When I was done, I was happy with myself. Then about 5 minutes later I thought, "hey wait a second, how many missions did I say for Sharpshooter?"
So I banged one out with IA. Which actually took me a bit to figure out how much health to leave each unit with to get an FE kill. Packages, Hack, Hack, and I got stuck without the glitch on the last one (main lab, by two L-desks and opening to hallway). Ran around in circles like a nut, But got the 20 headshots.

Mission 5 - Boom Stick
Devices, Targets, Devices. I did this one with my original Novaguard build (I had Radius on Nova, don't remember why) and wasn't pleased with it, so I redid it after respec'ing to Weapon Synergy and going to a more typical Nova spec. Also switch to Stronghold for gear. I don't play Novaguard very often, so Nova-canceling isn't something I am great at.
Mission 6 - Angel of Death
Hack, Hack, Escort. Managed to not glitch either hack (LZ one on 3 wasn't too bad though). I also had spare missiles for 10 which was sort of nice. Should have taken Drill I guess.
HoF updated!
Nicely done AW_FC and capn on earning the Alliance Cross badge! (and all others for that matter!)
Mission 6: Angel
29:21 - TheNightSlasher (331 817 pts)
Did this a few days back but didn't get sub-30 and so, I redid it. Despite my atrocious aim at times, thanks to good objectives, grenade spam and some very nice (spawn) nukes, I managed to get sub-30.

Pizza > pizza > hack
^right. Need to get sub 30, too^^.
Mission 1: Backwater Station
28:28 - TheNightSlasher (270 212 pts)
Went with disrputor + CS spam. That occasional stun due to disruptor ammo and TB really helped me out a lot on the later waves with the hordes of stunlocking enemies (hunters, bombers etc), and it helped with dealing with combat drones due to the AoE damage of TBs

Hack > hack > pizza
Couldn't cheese either of the hacks, which made them a bit challenging. But escorts and devices suck on this map, and I am glad I got away without getting them.
Mission 2: Hearts and Minds
30:34 - TheNightSlasher (294 478 pts)
I wanted the sharpshooter medal (5 gold HS medals) and had to get 20 HS with hornet in the first 2 waves because I missed out on 20 HS medal in the bug life mission. That definitely slowed the pace a little and the run ended up being a touch over 30 mins. Oh well. Wave 10 hack at the LZ was a nightmare.

Escort > pizza > hack
Should have just cheesed the hack. Not sure what was going through my head when I decided to do it without glitching.
Also, I used AP ammo to exploit max damage double hits on atlases and to not ruin my 6+6 combos with disruptor/incendiary. (Falon w/ warp ammo is my standard set-up for HFE anyway!)
I tried Boom stick on Platinum, when this happened ![]()
It's too bad you didn't record Angel of Death. Apparently I need to see how to do it correctly.

For the most part, I just camped in the back room of white. Spammed a lot of sticky grenades on mobs, used CB or grenades to force phantom bubble and killed them with drill rounds. The only times I relocated are when atlases came close to me (if two are together, I nuked them, else I let them wander around till the end of the wave).
That's pretty much what I did, if it helps. Oh, and I didn't bother using avenger at all. I just spammed sticky grenades on atlases or nuked them.
Angel of Death (Platinum ,10 waves survived)
Hack/Escort/Escort
This went as well as I could have hoped, easy objectives and good missiles. The Suppressor would be absolute top tier if it had more ammo, the Avenger was "ok" in a pinch but frankly it was faster to run for more ammo and grenades.

Which room is the back room?
Do you try to nuke any of the first spawns?
Blackwater Scrub.

This is the position I was talking about:

Just used RHA there for majority of the game. Typically, enemies come from the front - a lone centurion or dragoon might sneak up depending on your luck, but mostly it's all from the front. If I got over-whelmed, I move back up the stairs and use RHA again and keep back pedaling. . That's the loop I usually take on white.
As for nuking, I used one nuke on 5 (saved it towards the end, so that only one atlas respawned). For waves 8 and 9, I used one spawn nuke and one towards the end of the wave.
Yeah I get a bunch coming from the back half the time. Phantoms also don't want to bubble half the time. Oh well.
After wave 11 derp with 12 seconds left on gold.. I raged through a veteran solo to at least get on the board... At least I can make some use of all that level ll equipment. I'll post vids for the gold ones.
Edit: HoF up to date!

While I'm on a SIlver kick...
Hearts and Minds
Devices > Devices> Long escort. But it's silver so.. it's all good ![]()

Ok I got 33:01 with triple hacks. Hmmm. I had some ok missiles. I tried to stay in that room more. Kept getting Atlases as the nearby units for a lot of the waves, while the other crap camped outside. I guess I should be glad I cut my previous time though.
The Nemesis snipes and their all around tomfoolery angers me though.
Mission 5 - Boomstick
26:15 - TheTechnoTurian (300 389 pts)
devices/targets/area hack. Not able to upload, YT keeps on spending 3 hours attempting to process before telling me to upload in a format it recognizes, despite the fact that I'm using the same recording and processing I used for the last 100+ uploads I've done
Also, this was the best RNG I got in four attempts.
Boomstick (Insanity)
This went alright, I guess. Played quite recklessly courtesy of nova-cancel. Decent objectives too - pizza, escort and devices.
46:44 - TheNightSlasher (422 430 pts)
I think Slasher should be first on the sharpshooter badge, because he finished Mission 5 first ![]()
Also ctc is missiing who is second on this ladder ![]()
Week 14 - League of One (Insanity)
22:34 - TheTechnoTurian (277 220 pts) [v]
This is the first video in a while that has made it past processing on youtube, YT keeps on rejecting everything else I've tried to upload.

In 5 missions, not Mission 5.
But since we are talking about HOF, I think TheNightSlasher's Mission 5 Insanity / Platinum run is listed under Mission 6.
