Mission 7 - Call Down the Thunder
Escort, Hack, Packages. Cryo Blast causes shenanigans with Aboms. I also don't like Collector bum rush on some waves.

The desperate search for respec cards and SG amps begins. Entering a solo knowing you must get 10 waves survived will be interesting.
Yes, but you have a good setup for that one, IMO. HSol w/ Typhoon can put out a little more damage than something like a VA w/ Scimitar. ![]()
Mission 7: Call down the Thunder
26:58 - TheNightSlasher (245 930 pts)

Escort > hack > devices
I had to sacrifice myself to get the 5th grab on w11.

Mission 8: Malicious scripts
30:06 - TheNightSlasher (291 260 pts)
Lame objectives - targets > devices > targets - 2 wasted missiles on targets and devices took a lot of time. With better objectives, I can push this to 27:xx, or even better depending on spawns and stuff. My second try gave me 30:13 with devices, devices and targets
.
Not happy with objectives or the time, so a redo is definitely on the cards. But later.
Is mission successful sufficient? Or do you need full extraction?
I finished Fists of fury, but a dragoon smashed me and then hornet'd me to death at 0:00.
Call down the thunder
Escort/Escort/Devices
Wave 6 escort was hellish, I refused to kite and used 2 gels, 2 rockets and 3 ops packs. Devices weren't too bad it's easy to kite the enemies on this map. The Crusader's issues are well documented so I won't dwell on them further. I have a long que of characters waiting for a SG amp II/III so a redo is unlikely.
If anybody has a strong opinion about a mission, the parameters, or the medal requirements, let me know.
Condor/Collectors/Novaguard.
25 tech kills is a bit too much. It's particularly annoying when you count 25 tech bursts in the video but you still don't have the medal. And it requires quite a bit of grinding. I gave it three tries and only got 10 tech medals on all 3 occasions.
Call down the thunder (Gold)


Hack -> Escort -> Hack
Malicious scipts (Gold)


Targets -> Escort -> Targets
Targets wasted too much time :/
Four Marksman Badges and 2 Tech Specialist Badges are awarded at this morning's Alliance Ceremony of Bravery after day 1 of the extended mission contract. Congrats capn, NightSlasher, AW_FC and Imports-Exports!
Continue the good work soldiers!

We have the ships.

We have the weapons.

We need soldiers. Soldiers like Lieutenant Jeffrey Moreau.

"We're over the target area now, Commander."
...and Commander Ashley Williams.

"This is Williams. All personnel prepare to drop."
Soldiers like Lieutenant James Vega, and Commander Shepard.

"Come on you pyjaks, you wanna to live forever!"
We need you all. Service guarantees citizenship.

Yes this is shamelessly appropriated.
Mission 8 - Malicious Scripts
Hack, Escort, Escort. I started doing this mission with AP Ammo, but decided to switch to Disruptor. I didn't think this was all that clean of a run, but I had extra Ops from Survivor. I might redo this one.
Mission 9 - No Kassa for Alarm
Package, Package, Package. The game is obviously saving devices for me on Jade. This one was real rough, I did it right after I finished the previous mission. Again, Ops Packs. Wave 10 had some rage moments. I didn't feel like I really beat this mission when I finished for some reason. I might redo it with Disruptor Ammo. I don't know.
All in all, I didn't pay enough attention to those sneaky toasters last night, but lucked out on objectives. The game is saving devices for Jade, I can feel it.
** I think those are still processing right now, even though you can view them (HD isn't up for the second one though).
finished my N5 runs ! N5 II (kill them) took quite a long time (i mean numerous tries) until i figured up i should spec full fitness instead of full subnet
. Then it was almost too easy.
N5 I : 38:57 - Alfonsedode - 270126 (was thinking about going for melees, but finally took the easyway)
N5 II : 42:15 - Alfonsedode - 290969 (i was going way faster when failing
)
N5 III: 41:20 - Alfonsedode - 239449 : had some really good and really bad moments. Grabs opportunities .... (46664 setup)
Let see what N6 is about ![]()
Mission 11: Hybrid Synergy
32:36 - TheNightSlasher (218 666 pts)
Disregard my previous post abt tech kills. It is possible, without too much grinding. After plethora of devices and targets in the other challenges yest., this run had better objectives (EHH)

I can upload the video if anyone wants to watch.
Also, is full extraction reqd? I did fists of fury but a goon smashed me and hornet'd me to death as the clock struck 0:00. If full extraction is needed, I'll have to redo.
I did testing when I created the objectives, and that was one I tested specifically.
As for extraction, it isn't required (so as to be consistent with previous weekly challenges).

Heh, I would have made them required, but I didn't specifically list that originally.

Yeah, i d like to watch that ![]()

Actually, in the weekly solos, extraction is still required. I put Mission successful cause for some of the more recent mini-series, I got flack for it being too harsh. I put this as mission successful, but it's up to you. The weekly solos are still "Full extraction required".

Ah, I thought they usually were just Mission Successful, I guess that was the Platinum Hall of Fame I was thinking of.
It is already posted, so I don't think we should change the rules at this hour.
Mission 12: Reap the whirlwind
36:29 - TheNightSlasher (264 362 pts) 10 WS

This was my second try. First one failed on w10 devices when the fourth device spawned right in the middle next to the mako, making it a perfect sniping spot for ravagers. This run had slightly better objectives - escort, hack, pizza. Escorts and pizzas are typically bad on this map, and my inability to cheese the hack made the run a tad longer than I wanted. It's possible to push this to a time around 30 mins.
Did you use the space flounder barrel w/ WA?

lol, ya
magazine + HVB + warp ammo, AR amp, cyclonic, survivor loadout
And a quick question: Can you remove the 25 tech kill requirement for the novaguard challenge on silver? There aren't a lot of enemies to kill on silver to grind tech kills. I am planning on doing them on silver just for the lolz.

Yeah that setup on a Destroyer can one-clip a Banshee on Platinum (I think a couple double hits needed). But I haven't really run that one on HSol on Gold much just because of AP ammo being my default. But I was thinking I would run that or just AR Piercing for a little better cooldown. I still have 10 and 11 to do though, so I won't get to this until the end of the week probably.
Mission 8: Malicious Scripts
26:01 - TheNightSlasher (281 200 pts)

You can replace my yesterday's entry with targets and devices. This run was much better.
Anyway, with this done, I should qualify for the Tech Expert medal.
