Heart of Hydra
...excellent post...
From my own attempts at this, I can only agree with everything you said. The only thing I might do differently is using Adrenaline Mod 3 instead of Cyclonic IV. For me, the greatest danger was getting staggered by troll drones and rocket poopers while crossing the larger open areas.

Objectives:
Hack - Escort - Devices
The first time I did this I raged quit after finishing objective at w10 when I realized I had lost an ammo pack somewhere along the line, probably by hitting the ammo key accidentally while heavy meleeing to get rid of that ridiculous looking missile launcher.
And this time I got devices on w10, the third one was on a bad spot but I managed to finish them off in time.

Full on scrubfest with much rubberband and a load of other lag issues all in the name of science.

You'll see in the video that I figured out that ADS is so much better. My scrubbery never ceases to amaze me. I'll take my first sub 25 ever though! Also, I need to l2nuke

Hack, Devices, Hack
I thought I'd have more trouble with phantoms than I did, and admittedly I got super lucky a few times within grasp of a sync. But I guess Blade Armor & Ballistic Blades saved my ass.
Tier 7

Escort, Hack, Pizza
Had I been able to cheese the hack on 6 I probably would've made sub 30. Had I not been a scrub I also would've gotten 20 headshots. 
Life goes on. I had a lot of fun with this series, the cheese was glorious.

Good morning!
- Techno and Tupari battle it out locally for Guardian of Peak 15, with runs only 1 second apart!
- Okami goes flawless with "I Am Pure Krogan, You should be in Awe!" and provides some captivating back story! He also faces the Widow's Poison (platinum) and survives and follows that up with the perpetually needed defense of Cyone!
- Rank up to N2 Frank_is_crank! And welcome to the duos Amirie, great times!
- The Tiers of Neufchatel heat up with many great completions by Clyde, MsFlyingKebab, Frank_is_crank, Amirie_UK, emexia (welcome!), q5tyhj, smehur and ex-clusum (including the first tier 4 platinum duo by smehur and ex-clusum!) with some great new cheese-filled awards earned in the HoF!
- x3lander proves his worth as Jondum Bau, Spectre. That is a tough one!
- capn233 sets the new record for Heart of Hydra and submits the first vid for that incredibly difficult challenge, with an excellent summary of his strategy. Incredible stuff! That is only the 4th submission for that challenge in close to 2 years!
- ex-clusum and TechnoTurian defy the laws of space-time and go sub-14 on Marksman raid in one incredible duo! Get the popcorn! 1:51 quicker than the previous record! That challenge also pushes Techno into first for Blackwatch Professional and Covert Tactical Expert!
Really incredible submissions everyone! The records continue to get crushed and new titles are earned every week! I will update the duo thread today as well. Stay tuned... t-3 days til the thread's 2 year anniversary!
Looks like I need to find 8 minutes somewhere....

In other news
- We got a glimpse of the splendor that is Mordus, with Salarian Jesus' 20 min Venom AI run! Very impressive stuff.
- TechnoTurian reks phantoms and flat out shatters the Venom AI challenge. And goes very sub-20. Much Turian.
- Techno also goes sub-20 on Guardians of Peak 15 , but on the wrong map again. (just kidding!) Techno now has the most sub-20 runs in this thread! Edit: we only need 5 more sub-20s from the community to hit a total of 50!
- lyq3r takes care of Peak 15 insanity with the solid 10WS and continues on the original weekly solo journey!
- Marksmad and Sallfmr with two solid duos for the Tiers. (I lol'd at the "PC (s)" at the end of the entry)
- q5tyhj is the first on ps3 to hit san joaquin gold by completing all Tiers of Neufchatel and joins up with upper-reality for some quality duos as well (welcome!)
- Edit: Some corrections were made to the Tiers HoF and updates added. Unfortunately, due to a miscalculation on my end, Clyde had to be stripped of his Roquefort Strong title (Sorry buddy!)

I heartily endorse this product and/or service.
As we lead up to the new series, starting tomorrow, I thought I'd mention the new update to the Original Weekly Themed Solo series (that started it all!)
Smehur took it upon herself to update the formatting and the images from the original series, which was on the old Bioware Social network (now legacy) site. It was the only challenge series that I hadn't transferred over to this new Forum when we made the switch, due to the amount of formatting required and to pictures not transferring over properly (which would have required completely redoing much of the thread and the 21 challenges). Not to mention, the new forum wouldn't allow all my emoticons 
.
However, this didn't deter smehur! Thank you so much Smehur for your participation in the thread and now for your incredible technical support as well! We now have a new and improved Original Weekly Challenge Series. No more re-logging in to the legacy account every time you try to access those.
Thanks again, and cheers! Stay tuned for tomorrow

No worries. Can you let me know my official total time so I can decide whether or not it's worth trying to make it?
