I hope clyde makes it so that he can make fun of Kocka sitting at only needing ariake to finish the series.
I have a feeling that Ash will make him break all of his available controllers

I'm personally not looking forward to going up against Cerberus with the Krodept. But N3 is on the other side...

Ashley always did frustrate the living crap out of me.

you will probably do a play through of the original ME just to kill her on Virmire after completing the challenge.

Congrats Smehur, official Covert Tactical Expert ![]()
Nice time AW_FC on that run. That near-20 min time shave puts you ahead of HeroicMass on the N7 board!

I wondered about that too and thought I'd rather go for the naive BE approach with a 45566 build. Tried it out, and it just doesn't work with the claymore. If you make compromises with shotgun mods and passives for faster recharge, you fall just a bit short of OSKing centurions and dragoons*. And at the same time, only atlases last long enough to be viable BE targets. So I changed to 66066 too. But now that you mention melee... hmmm.
*It might also be my aim.

I take my cue from the lot of you since most of you have more solo experience under your belt. I guessed the BE approach would work coupled with melee because Rage, DR, shockwave for emergency stagger, and a lot of humanoid characters that are dead after one heavy melee, and some dead after a light one. Or, if you could use the Atlas as a lightning rod and set off multiple BEs on it with all the other enemies around it in a tight space....
I imagine this will take several attempts so I'll get to see which approach works. Reset cards withstanding, that is. ![]()

For N3 III, i also wanted to keep my multitask melee power builded shaman, but ... i did'nt work it out, same as a BE focused build, claymore is too heavy.
So i settled for a claymore build with warp debuf and maybe Adrenaline module III to escape goon/phantom rush.

I don´t have a YouTube account. So no videos by me.
But I suggest you watch the master himself at work (ex-Clusum). (It may be platinum with the scorpion, but the theory remains the same
)

IMO BE doesn´t work, due to the weight of the Claymore. Quick shot is the alternativ
. I´ve learned to use the quick reload button. Melee won´t help against Phantoms, while their barrier is still active. At least with my build. I got mostly synced.
I play with the arrow keys. Enter is usually my power 1 (Barrier). Detonating the barrier to prevent Phantoms syncs might be quite useful and your last rescue.
I use the mousewheel button for power 2 (Warp). I´ve set ctrl right for power 7 (medigel) to quick reload.
I killed some Phantoms in 1vs1 by two quick shots, using warp to weaken her and then heavy melee, when the barrier is down. A light melee should finish the job. Keeping some distance is still to consider.

In the last waves maybe ? Because I gave a quick look at the vid, and he got the 20 HS medal at wave 2, rigth after the 25 kills medal. I know that's PC, but still, it sounds pretty good to me...

You know, if you said something like "my rig can't handle it" or "my game crashes when I record" or even "I can't play without my music on" - I'd have nothing to say in reply. "I don't want to post my videos" would work just as well. But "I don't have a YoutTube account"? How's that a problem? Just go and make one, it takes the whole of 30 seconds.
Or is it some sort of policy/principle thing?

I'd say the scorpion makes a world of difference. On gold, dealing with phantoms is like 90% of the challenge. And switching weapons every minute breaks the rhythm something awful.
I thought he was aiming poorly
Yeah, no. It takes him a bit to line up his shots, but almost every one is a headshot, except with phantoms.

Yeah, he goes for the head each time, but it feels slow in a vid and particularly in this one. Maybe cause i m used to "pro" aimer vid but mostly cause everything feels faster in live game than in vid. I realised that truly cause of this vid ![]()
Then i registred few wave of one of my gold solo during which i thought i was on fire, and the vid felt SO very slow ![]()

I gave this a run last night with my melee-BE strategy. I got away from the melee a bit in the later waves around 6-7, then got synched on wave 8 by a phantom. It's totally doable if you keep your rage going and play smart around phantoms, which I did not on that wave. But the BEs came in handy in crowds, and Shockwave helped with those pesky Dragoons as well as on turrets, which were plentiful as we all know. I certainly won't say it's better than any other method; my time was at 28 min when I got killed, and I imagine it could've been faster had I spec'd for more weapon damage. However, it's viable IMO and kinda fun to melee all the things true Krogan style. ![]()

Only N3 III is left for you to hit N3. Maybe you should lend your PC account to Clusum for this challenge. Inb4fastest time by N7 Spectre MD

Hax! We'll see, maybe there'll be a fastest console time
... (add 10 mins for rust)
Edit: Maybe not, I'd have to beat ctc's 35 mins ![]()
