So, I have a question. Because I'm a dork and apparently not quite literate yet I did Week 3 on regular Reactor by accident, not the Hazard version. Does it still count? At the very least, with Reactor Hazard the "Hazard" is more of a player advantage, I wouldn't ask this if it were any of the other Hazard maps.

Basically, the thought of redoing it has me in a cold sweat.

edit: oh hai Tupari fancy seeing you here.


I think I can accept it as it was accidental and as you mentioned, that hazard is not really more difficult. You didn't miss any requirements for the completion or anything :). Although, if you had regular reactor for both hardcore and insanity I'd be skeptical :P

LOL. 1 guy soloed as a Shadow for 90 minutes. No one else wants to do it, cos they know how much it sucks.

Thanks... I'll post it shortly. I actually only did hardcore and realized it was Hazard after I'd already started compressing and uploading the video, if I try insanity I will do it the correct way.

Here's the Drell Adept on Non-Hazard Reactor, Hardcore version. Herp-a-Derp. I'll be sure to read the rest of these more closely.

Here's the video, it might still be processing:

I put off doing this one for the longest time because I am awful at the drell. I also wanted to get a few more valiant levels, since I figured anything would help. I'm too much of a scrub to even want to try this with the Viper/Shuriken.

First picture is me messing around but finding that the armor pericing ammo icon was sideways I was wondering if this is just for me or for everyone? :P Second is the omega 1
Escort Escort Hack ( no gliicth in hack) Suprisingly good objectives compared to other solos.
Might try week again 1 because my time already on that is longer that barla lof von :P

Morning HoF update!

Nice job Kaxas with the sub 25 :), dude (I've never noticed that with armor piercing ammo myself -strange!) and ReaperRed (always appreciate a vid! :) )

Today Hopefully I can get a few done and make my way back to the completionist board!

Two hardcore completions to add. First was Week 12 with the Shadow, I tried to go for insanity but ended up one killstreak short. I'm going to try this again for a better time, probably after I do a few of the others. So, I guess it's hardcore, just with the Eagle.

Posted Image

Objectives were Area Hack/Targets/Devices.

Video will be here, probably still processing atm.

Here's Week 7 - Peak 15, Hardcore, did it with the Spitfire:

Posted Image

Objectives were Escort/Targets/More Targets. I'm getting spammed with targets and devices lately.

Jugg Video.

Also tried Week 2 today, but then phantoms happened on wave 10 post-objective so that ended in failure.

^ Nice job Tupari, with 2 more completions! So close with insanity, that's tough man. I just randomly gave that one a go with my level 17 earlier. It's actually a lot of fun. Hopefully I get it done in the next couple days. I'll update the HoF now :)

Here's my week 10 Rise of the Pheonix Insanity addition. Trying to catch up! Objectives were Devices/Devices/Targets. I'll render the video and it should be up tomorrow at some time. Hopefully with some more completions. Maybe I'll attempt another now..

^Devices/Devices/Targets? I think that objective combo would make me cry. Or ragequit. Or ragequit while crying on the inside.

I'm looking forward to the video for that, I feel it will be educational.

@Tupari ... pretty MLG

I cried a little inside... but since I was just going for the insanity completion and not my quickest time, I went with it. :) I think it actually was one of my better solos, despite the slower time. I only used my first medigel in wave 7.

I also found devices not so bad on this map, since it's so huge! As for the wave 10 targets, luckily had one missile left to target switch to ravagers :)

@tupari: I might need to clarify the OP, but for the 5 personal medals for the villa challenge, the 3 killstreaks are accepted as one of them, but not required :)

blah, i'm still trying to get a few challenges done, but i fail every single time

shadow on rio is a pain, i get pizza every ****ing time over the whole map

merely the weapon i always die on wave 9 or 10, it's awesome how bad i'm with a drell

first bink after coma i survived the first 6 waves. i started wave 7 with 5 ops and 6 gels and died wave 9. every bad spot kills me, never get outta there

^ Pizza on Rio is definitely the dreaded op to get. Both merely the weapon and first blink are really difficult challenges. I don't know how many times I attempted week 2. What are your set ups like?

^ For the drell, try rank 5b on cluster grenades. It increases the power of BEs by 100% even though it doesnt explicitly state that. You can make really quick work of mobs and bosses that way. Also, I prefer rank 6b in reave. With that, you have a nice 40% DR which can help counter some squishiness. I use reave+cluster grenade combo against all bosses and find the additional armor/barrier damage to be kind of pointless.

For the human soldier with valkyrie, try going for headshot bonus in passive. Since valkyrie has an innate 3x multiplier against headshots, I found it very useful. You can make very quick work of their mooks with just a few headshots.

Hope these help. Cheers!

On your drell, I would say swap rank 5 to the damage combo. For the most part you'll be reaving then throwing right? You'll get a lot more mileage out of the clusters if you swap it to that.

My hate for cerberus in solos is drastically increasing. Was doing human sentinel on ghost hazard, no gels used till wave 6 and on wave 7, i end up between three turrets. I use my first gel and a phantom instantly sync kills me (she meleed right as the turret killed me). I tried to dodge as soon as I gelled but phantom says nope. :(
And there goes my final cyclonic IV. Damn you cerberus and your turrets, and ofc the annoying bug.

 @noeschi: I agree with the bgsam's and krauser's advice for builds. I went with all the damage reduction possible to build for the tankiest drell possible :) And it's all about headshots with the valkyrie. I even took it to the extreme and used the heavy-duty scope to ensure this, but I think that's a more radical build.

@bgsam: Yeah that's rough man, that bug gave a lot of people a lot of trouble on the challenge :s Don't despair, I'm out of cyclonic IV and III. I just attempt with other equipment and branch out and then going back to cyclonics is like easy mode..ish lol.

Finally, here's my vid for Rise of The Phoenix (Insanity) :D 

(I was out of warp IV and opted for incendiary IV- so I tried to use my pistol as much as possible to make sure and get the 75 kills, since incendiary made a lot of them not count.) Also, I made a mistake, this one I had escort first, not devices, although it was a dirty route and I refused to leave the trajectory. I almost would have preferred devices!

Did week 9, "Does this Unit have a Soul" with the Javelin GI for a hardcore completion. Objectives were object retrieval/targets/devices.

Unfortunately, my computer switched to desktop towards the end of wave 8, stopping recording without my knowledge. I might render and upload what I have later, but for now no video.

Week 6: Mordus, Insanity with the Salarian Engineer, Venom Only. I'm still having problems with recording right now, so screen cap only.

Objectives were object retrieval/escort/devices from hell. Some of the device placements on Jade are a nightmare, even with a full team, it took pretty much all my self-restraint not to just rage quit immediately.

^Jade devices are possibly the worst op to get in the game. Did you have the brutal device, on the right hand-side of the LZ, on the middle level, right in the open? Nice time regardless, with the 5 waves survived.

HoF updated :)

Yes...  getting that one device took two medigel, one ops pack, and three missiles, and even with all that it was basically luck that I managed to get it in time.
