 I cannot solo gold even with the kroguard vs geth on glacier I have a reegar 5 but this gives me a ridiculous 4.5 second coolodown on charge which allows the geth to stunlock and kill me. I have even worse success with the TGI and AIU I regularly pug gold with good results I don't know where I go wrong I theoretically know about kitting and right hand advantage too. Most of all i want some advice to solo gold since I can mostly play platinum with the OP kits pretty easily.

TL;DR why dies biotic charge have such a **** cooldown on kroguard?

[Slayer299]

I'm not sure what to tell you about solo'ing gold tips, I did it once with the Valkyrie on Reactor/Reapers
But I've found the Kroguards BC is a means to an end, Kroguards have BC to get to enemies out of range or a shield refill, but otherwise Wraith/melee everything in range. But unlike other vanguards, the Kroguard doesn't use BC offensively the way other Vanguards do.

At least that's my take on using the Kroguard...

You shouldn't be dying in 4.5 seconds unless you're charging into the ****tiest of situations. Make sure you're using Cyclonics for extra EZness.

Don't do glacier. Big maps are always easier.. you can just run away if needed. On glacier you will likely have no outs and you are forced to kill things which isn't best when you first start soloing.

My first plat solo map was Vancouver. Giant or Ghost would work just as well for Gold.

Take GI and run from one soft cover to another. Oh and Glacier is one of the toughest maps to solo. I suggest Reactor, White, Giant or Ghost.

[Jaun Shepard]

Hmm so I will try the bigger maps as most people here have mentioned I thought glacier was the easiest solo map because most people have soloed it in like 18 mins.

HM-less Geth Trooper with an Acolyte X, Cryo Ammo. Strip, debuff, flamer everything.

That's because they can run from the spawn they just decimated to the next fresh one in 2 seconds. Solo speedrunning isn't what you should be attempting for your first runs (insanitywolf.jpeg). The tactics and builds are different. So pick a large map with lots of room to fall back and always have an escape route planned.

Which map do you guys think is the best? I'm leaning towards White or Giant.

[kouzrah]

Do it on Giant, use your favorite infiltrator, equip the geth scanner. If you can't clear enemies fast enough, kite a lot and run around. The easiest way to solo is to take your time and only engage when you are safe to do so.
For objectives, don't hesitate to run away if you need to. You have plenty of time to complete them. It's safer to draw the enemies to the other side of the map than to kill them.

Also watch guides on youtube. It really helps.

I have never soloed gold but when I solo silver its usually on white or ghost I agree with everyone else use big open maps with a lot of space to get away when needed.

Damnit I hate this game had 5 medgels and 4 rockets on wave 7 and I got dced. I resign.

[SpaceV3gan]

My first Gold solo attempt I got disconnected at wave 9 with almost all consumables left (I think I only used a gel). I've done a few Gold solos since then, but none at that level - so I now how it feels. And back then disconnections were less common than they are today.
Currently I get disconnected every 2-3 hours, some of my friends get disconnected twice a game, lol. If you are new to soloing, this it is a very bad time. But still fairly doable.

I recommend White for the Map. Decent kitting, well located ammo boxes and enough closed spaces for you to engage in some CQC - out in the open you will caught in crossfire, better avoid it. Focus on single targets or small groups. If it helps (and it probably will) leave the Primes for last.

Also, I would suggest giving the Krolord at try. Similar play style, Reegar, hit-and-run, always being cautious. The Kroguard is probably more efficient, but having consecutive attempts with him will bore the hell out of you. Besides the Krolord is endlessly more fun, and having fun is what matters.

Take your time, be patient. I used Justicar w/CSMG & Acolyte, Reapers/Giant. I watched several videos to figure the strategy out. Took several attempts

[Wizard of Ox]

Restart you internet before soloing, at least it works with the poor excuse of a connection that I have. How good are you with avoiding being sync-killed? Cause Geth are scumbags and reapers or ceberus are way easier, especially on open maps.

Sync-killed (by Phantom)?  Try Geth (annoying though they are) to avoid this possibilty.  And I choose Giant.  Hold the LZ for a while, keep your head on a swivel, exit out the back side and down the ladder when it starts getting hot.

Sounds like you know the classic Kroguard build.  Mine is pretty standard.  I add the Acolyte for the occasional long-range shield strip:
Kroguard Build
Oh, that's if I use AP rounds.  Other is use the shredder mod + incendiary rds.  You have to have some form of armor DR bypass.

Next I'll try a TGI solo.

Firebase White is good for kiting enemies.

What is your exact build? I've used this build when I did Solo Mastery a long time ago.

I run almost the exact same build with the Kroguard but I take power damage over headshots on rank 5 of Krogan Berserker.  I also like to use martial artist on rank 5 of Rage but I like to melee. 

To the OP, like others have said, you need a bigger map to move around and escape if necessary.  Make use of your biotic charge to replenish your shields and definitely go for Geth so you don't get insta-killed.  Target Pyros first, then rocket launchers/hunters.  Try to avoid the Primes until the end because if you kill one early, another will just spawn. 

If you get a mission like scanning 4 objectives, at some point, you'll definitely have to run to the other side of the map, aggro the enemies in that direction, and then run towards the hack.  If you're soloing, unless you're an infiltrator, it's very tough to keep enemies off you while scanning on Gold if you don't lure them away first.

Look for my post last week using Salarian Infil. spamming Prox mines and Energy drain.

Lots of cloaking/kiting.

Took a long time but it was the only way I finally got it done. The best advice from above is to take your time, only take on a few enemy at one time and kite again.

This definitely is the most solid strategy I've seen
here, and when I finally do attempt to solo Gold, it'll
be with this set-up.

EDIT: I'd be using this build most likely.

Use kroguard reegar.use extra ammo+hvb.skip carnage
Pure shields and dr.
Use cyclonic 4.
The gear that gives extra medigels.
Use incendiary 4.
