I unlocked the lone wolf banner by doing 2 regular gold solos (thx to Invaderones great tutorial guide). So I am only an average player yet when it comes to soloing. The real deal is to solo platinum which I tried 2 times so far and both times failed. One time at wave 8 and the other at wave 9.

A few Questions:

• Did you also got trolled with your platinum solo attempts by this game? (I had banshees constantly teleporting down the ladder on giant, an atlas shooting missiles at me while showing me his back - just like the praetorian buttlasers, had a ravager respawning 3 times in the same game right behind or before me, got 2x 4 devices on vulnerable and deadly spots at the map in the same game...)

• How many platinum solo attempts if you can remember did it take you to finally manage to extract for the 1st time?

• How many of you are able to solo platinum with an uncommon class? (Just saw the video of Achire's novaguard platinum solo run, that was excellent gameplay by him! Found a volus platinum solo vs Geth on Jade by Ffandrade on Youtube, amazing job too!)

• Did you also manage to pull off a flawless platinum solo yet like Invaderone? That solo with the cabal vanguard was amazing, this guy is a beast!

If you have recorded your best platinum solos feel free to put down the Youtube links here, because I like to watch them as it is very entertaining and inspiring.

1. Everyone gets trolled.

2. I failed my first attempt (Died on wave 11) and succeeded in all following attempts (One with a Volus Adept, one with a Turian Cabal).

3. Never tried, but I'm confident I could.

4. Nope. I'm not even gonna try that. I might, MIGHT be able to, but I doubt it, and even if I could, I don't have the patience.

I am not sure solo'ing Gold rates you only as average for solo'ing.

[ANDYHUGFAN]

Do you have a video for that solo with the volus adept? I like seeing them in platinum solos, they maybe tiny but they are some tough fellows :happy:

Unfortunately, no. However, there are plenty of Volus Platinum solos floating around. Uh Cold has one linked in his signature if you can track down one of his posts.

I think I had 2 attempts before completing my first plat solo, 4 devices played a part in my failures too.
I've only solo'd plat with half a dozen characters or so and probably the most uncommon setup was a flamer-less Geth Trooper with a Spitfire. I suppose I could solo with quite a few more kits but the times would likely be horrendous.
Oh, and there's no way I could pull off a flawless solo. I got ten waves survived once but used a load of rockets and oops packs.

Anyway, if you managed to get to wave 8 & 9 on your first attempts then you'll definitely complete one soon. Good luck.

[ANDYHUGFAN]

Okay, thanks buddy.

[soulstriker09]

I have a gut feel you're INVADERONE's alt, but w/e

1. lol yes. many times esp with banshees teleporting unpredictably on the later waves, see number 3
2. probably 10 if including switching different classes around
3. number 3
4. payshenz fur dat i dont has eet

[Creator Limbs]

I've attempted two platinum solos to date.

First attempt failed on wave 9 due to dc from the server.

Second attempt failed when I was sync killed.

[d_nought]

1. Yes, a lot

2. First attempt took two tries using ultra cheese on the "Thunderdome" (Reapers on Giant)

3. Tried one vs Geth using the N7 Paladin then got trolled by Wave 10 Targets and lost the motivation to continue. Judging by the rest of the game I could do it if I could be bothered, but meh. Right now I am trying to solo Collectors on Hazard Glacier with a variety of uncommon solo classes (Phoenix Adept, Volus Eng, Turian Sentinel), but it's kind of annoying since I've never solo'd Platinum outside of Giant so I have to learn everything while using non-cheese. But I just remember that I died a whole lot for my Gold solo speedruns as well, so I know I'll get there eventually.

4. No. I'd much rather have a video that doesn't go forever. 45min is probably the maximum length of a solo vid I'd watch, so that's my goal.

@soulstriker09: just finished watching your phoenix adept platinum solo in your signature... very impressive gameplay, I enjoyed it very much. the nail-biting finale was the icing on the cake, thanks for sharing.

1. I've been trolled so many times, for example here's a pyro spawning directly behind me as I kill one.

2. I was very patient and did it first try with the shadow on Giant just after the earth dlc.

3. I use uncommon classes a lot but a lot my attempts are unsuccessful.

4. I've gotten ten waves survived 3 times and I was the first to do it with no consumables used. The thread's here, I did it completely by accident which is why I had responder loadout on. It was a massive pain having to clear out wave 10 collectors without using rockets.

Where the heck are you these days? Get online sometime!

Also, I got Leech to start playing Dark Souls now

Human infiltrator plat solo should be doable with a javelin or claymore. I think the class has decent headshot multiplies. Only problem would be on host phantoms.

[Shadow Storm]

Definately got trolled in platinum solo the most annoying of which is random shots in the back of the head by primes that are miles off behind a massive wall. It took me 3 tries but in the end it payed off. In Platinum the reegar carbine + incendiary ammo 4 was my best friend by far. It rips through shields like butter and leaves the flame effect for lasting damage and shield regen control.

[kouzrah]

1. I'm trolled about every time I try a solo.
2. Maybe 5 or 6, I don't remember.
3. I haven't tried. I don't think I have the patience.
4. I haven't tried. I don't think I have the patience.

I only soloed plat once just for the sake of it. It was excrutiatingly long. I don't think I'll try again until I know how to solo gold with a decent time consistently. The vid is on my youtube but I'm not sure it's really interesting to watch.

[Catastrophy]

Not taking much interest in plat solos. The only attempts were with melee Shadow against Collectors (they have the fewest Primes I think).

I broke off the attempts because the shields replenish so fast - I was barely doing damage against the crabs between their butt lazors. Maybe I should equip phasics? I'll try again eventually - it's the last of my unfinished challenges.

[Chromatix]

1. Shockingly, i never get trolled in all my attempts.
2. For the first solo - Batarian Soldier - i needed 2 attempts and 1 winning one to prevail, 8 months later, with Turian Lady i went down on wave 10 because i ran out of medi-gel (i had only 2) and forgot to restock before going to solo, and next attempt was win.
3. I only do Plat solos with my most-favorite-class-ever characters, if you consider Batarian Soldier (before discovery of Inferno + Incendiary glitch) and Turian Lady Vanguard (with Raider) uncommon, then maybe.
4. Nah, screw that.

[Max Dmian]

1. Practically impossible to not get trolled. I also count devices as trolling.
2. Like 10, 11 tries. I really wanted my first Plat solo to be something different, which is why I chose the QME with the Venom, no sidearm.
3. Don't know what counts as uncommon around here, but since SI and GT definitely don't count, I'll name HSol, QME and Geth Engineer as my successful, kinda uncommon solo characters.
4. No, don't even wanna try. I prefer dying six times to a 90 minute solo.

[DHKany]

1 Trolled many times. Got to wave 9-10 thunderdome 2-3 times and got devices or got stagger synced.
2 None yet.
3 I'm pretty sure I could do it using the Salarian Infiltrator with CSR, but I have yet to try.
4 and nope. Don't even wanna try.

[Cohen le Barbare]

1. It's platinum, you get trolled
2. I pulled it off on my second try. Got gutted by a phantom on wave 1 on my first attempt, which got me in the right "I'm gonna get y'all" zone. It worked
3. I don't think I can pull it off. Maybe a salarian infiltrator with a crusader/geth plasma shotgun. I won't try though
4. ??? no, never, not good enough.

[didacuscarr]

I managed my first successful one in my 2nd try with GT on Reapers Giant and a thunderdome in my first attempt with GT and I must say, I'm not proud of it now.
Have a failed N7 Slayer attempt on wave 11 Cerberus White Hazard and one on wave 10 devices same set up with Drell Adept Venom. Have also tried a thunderdome with Turian Soldier and Graal, but got trolled by turrets on wave 6 devices and one with Geth Infiltrator and Venom on Cerberus Glacier, where I got stabbed on wave 8. I have no patience to try a plat solo again...

@#4  Heck yeah you are.

Hey bud I hope you didnt miss the shoutout. I gave you a shoutout on the Cabal Vid. I just finished doing my second flawless solo (10 Waves Survived and also no consumables Used) and working on 3 more (London is kicking my arse...get to wave 9 flawless but then die.....rrrrgggg). I'd like to link one of these to your flawless solo as well if you dont mind. I'll hit you up on PM. 

[INVADERONE]

 Andy here is the link to my second flawless platinum solo with the Turian Havoc Soldier on Firebase White. Before anyone goes stimpakslol I did check YouTube and even with stimpaks most solos with this character ended up with one to two medigels at the end. Again, all about the tactics.
Hope you enjoy it bro

So many great gamers on this forum, thanks for all the entertaining and fun stuff you provide for all us new players to enjoy and get inspired :happy:

@Hardcoresalmon: nomen est omen, awesome job - 10 waves survived in a platinum solo, 3x, that's not easy to achieve. You are definitely a hardcore platinum soloer. Also I didn't know you were the 1st to solo jade/geth/platinum, saw the video in your signature, great work with that too. So you and Ffandrade seem to be the only two persons that soloed this map vs geth faction on platinum difficulty so far, impressive!

@INVADERONE: beast mode engaged for the second time right? Watched it from the beginning to the end, as great and entertaining as always - thank you very much for that second video as you promised. And I'm also looking forward to the 3rd one, a character without the ability to dodge (hmm, maybe the Krolord?), that will definitely add another level of difficulty to the already pro-play flawless experience. It's nice to see that you still enjoy playing Mass Effect 3 MP and know how to have fun with it! Keep beeing awesome buddy and have a nice day.
