Nice runs! Good times too! Well done. ![]()

well, almost the worst times ![]()
U took Disruptor on the aiu venom one ? i see u got the tek kills medals, meaning u got some TB. (I couldnt kill anything with those TB*2 according to the kill feed)
The tech kills are not from ammo type they are from snap freeze.You couldn't make TB with that chracter,but you could use disruptor,incendiary or warp ammo.Disruptor is better option because that challenge is vs cerberus.For example i beat it with warp ammo.well, almost the worst times

I don't remember what I used, but I'm pretty sure you can indeed make TBs if you equip disruptor ammo and detonate with snap freeze. Why not? But yeah, one can probably get the tech kills with snap freeze alone.
well, almost the worst times
I consider anything below 45 a good time for us mortals. Most submissions in the HoF are from divines people with a 100 plat solos under their belts. So let's talk about this again when we're both in our 50s at least. ![]()
yeah, SF is a direct damage dealing power, and is supposed to work well (6b *2 TB for aiu), meaning u should get some 1500 damage point TB from disruptor ammo priming (and 3000 against shield). i ll test it at some point, but watched the kill feed and never got one despite extensive use on atlases to kill mooks around them. Maybe i wasnt priming well.
Clusum seemed to agree u never get anything from SF + disruptor ammo.
Sanp freeze is not detonate power like throw,warp,energy drain....So i think that you couldn't make TB with EDII don't remember what I used, but I'm pretty sure you can indeed make TBs if you equip disruptor ammo and detonate with snap freeze. Why not?

I did a quick test with the AIU equiped with the Katana and DA3 : I got a tech burst on a Marauder that killed him and a close cannibal. I have SF specced with 6a, but I'm not sure it has an impact, I can't remember anything about 6b preventing tech bursts.
Proof :
Loufi is correct. Snap freeze does detonate tech combos and doesn't need 6b to do so.
Tech bursts are visually difficult to notice. Fire explosions detonated by snap freeze are much easier to spot.

Clusum prefers AP to everything, and will only acknowledge the usefulness of ammo-based combos in very special situations (if ever).
Well he had me took DA on the krosent yesterday vs gethClusum prefers AP to everything, and will only acknowledge the usefulness of ammo-based combos in very special situations (if ever).

Decided to give the Neufchatel solos a go...
7 Tiers of Neufchatel Hardcore
Tier 1
30:12 - HamleticTortoise (284 257pts)
Devices x Escort x Devices
sloppy gameplay, crappy objectives, and slow even for me, but 2 killstreaks on wave 9 felt really satisfying.
Tier 2
36:20 - HamleticTortoise (236 404pts) 10WS
Devices x Targets x Targets
I did forego AC in favour of geth scanner for this one, so of course I got targets twice. I can't get too mad though, since I got 10 waves survived
first time for me in a gold solo! Played very very carefully after wave 6
Shout out to frank_is_crank, I watched your video for this one, and it really helped me!
SF 6b is supposed to work properly on the AIU (not on the paladin). I ll test that tonight maybe
Just to be clear, 6b works properly on the Paladin but there's no point taking it, because it is active anyway, as long as you took 4b. So taking 6a on the Paladin is the way to go, to get the benefit of both 6a and 6b simultaneously. The AIU is not bugged the same way, so you want 6b on her.

well u not clear here, so ... 6b does nothing on the paladin, so it doesn t work. Reach 4b does not replace 6b, as it double only CE primed by SF.
The N7 Series, N1.3 - Cyone Must Not Fall! (Platinum)
72:09 - Smehur (318870 pts) [v]
Well, that was harder than it looked on paper. My slowest solo to date! Not that I really see what I could have done [much] differently, other than being a better player, soloist and person in general.

yeah, u should be ashamed u r not a better person in general ;p, me too, i m ashamed.
Look who has been emboldened by the recent success and decided to go for more...
7 Tiers of Neufchatel Hardcore
Tier 3
41:43 HamleticTortoise (248 879pts)
Escort x Hack x Devices
Featuring riveting gameplay such as constantly toggling fortification off when meaning to use flamer for four waves, triple bouncing acolyte shots around walls and somehow managing to miss the banshee, and needing 8 waves before realizing I didn't need to release a shot before starting the flamer (and thus that it is possible to hide the reload)
I just can't aim straight with charge weapons
which brings us to...
Tier 4
44:57 HamleticTortoise (240 742pts)
Escort x Pizza x Hack
Managed at the first try, and a very good thing, because no way I was going to try this again any time soon. Hate Glacier (too small for me), hate Cerberus, can't hit anything smaller than an atlas with the Venom to save my life - quite literally this time. It seemed I would bounce shots in between Dragoons' legs
I know it's not the weapon's fault, when it connects it does an amazing job! I am just no good at it. Had no gels and no op packs left for wave 10 clean up and extraction, those two minutes felt like twenty. At least no devices this time ![]()
Weekly Themed Solos 2.0
Week 15- Survive Gold
19:56-Miranda_LawsoN7(264443pts) [v]
After 12-14 tries (no kidding lol) or so I FINALLY went sub 20.Many of the runs were with much better gameplay but the objectives were awful and now i played like a big derp especially during 9 wave but the objectives were perfect.
And so it ends
7 Tiers of Neufchatel Hardcore
Tier 5
36:58 HamleticTortoise (251 552pts)
Pizza x Devices x Escort
Lesson learned: the fact that you can take a Prime down in a reasonable amount of shots doesn't mean that you should. Splitting wave 7 Primes cost me dearly, herding them together again was murder ![]()
Tier 6
48:00 HamleticTortoise (230 552pts)
Pizza x Escort x Targets
Someday I might enjoy speedrunning Cerberus. Today is not that day; today, I enjoyed watching them burn slowly
I could probably get a faster time now that I have a better idea of how many grenades are needed for each unit, but I am pleased that I got it done in one try.
Tier 7
50:11 HamleticTortoise (268 150pts)
Escort (through the whole outside of the map, a view to kill) x Targets x Devices ![]()
Got picked up by a banshee on wave 7 my first try, I played very carefully after that. Wave 9 was really sloppy, I lost concentration and kept running around just trying to stay alive.
Finished my first series, only fitting it's the cheesy one
thank you for keeping this thread alive long enough for me to find it, and thank you for all your videos and discussions and valuable input! Not sure I would have ever made it past tier 1 without the wealth of experience in the challenge threads (and the rest of the forum)! ![]()
HoF updated!
- Congrats to Hamletic Tortoise for completing the Tiers of Neufchatel and earning San Joaquin gold! Awesome stuff!
- Ex-clusum sets the very impressive new record for N7 ll. End scene (Platinum) amidst the foray of duos!
- Smehur reaches N1 Overloaded with the deceiving Cyone Must Not Fall! Great job!
- Great additional runs from Nightslasher and muah muah!
I'll try to have the final week of X3lander's Fight For the Lost up later today!
Presta,seems that you have forgotten my Survive Gold run.
