In general it will just result in a slower time, because it is more time-consuming to kill the Reaper units with a high wave budget. Also, nuking is more dependent on luck... The Reapers need to spawn all in one place like 2 banshees some brute + ravager to get a good nuke and on Glacier with only one player the spawn will split pretty often for Reapers (Geth on the other hand almost always spawn clustered up in one place..?!) and getting a good nuke during the wave is difficult because the Reaper units move at very different speeds.
Geth and Cerberus can be 'tricked' into taking a path that will make them cluster up.

 Another question:  is it possible to sub-20 solo FB:Glacier/Cerby/Gold without using Acolyte nor Armored Compartments?

It's not that hard to get sub 20's on Glacier with every character when using a Reegar. There are also plenty of sub 20's without Acolyte, Reegar or Armored Compartments, some of them even on other maps than Glacier.

Speaking from 360:

OP - Cerb is quicker, not easier. Dragoons, Phantoms, Guardians, Engineers and to some extent Nemese are all pretty quick to kill given their wave cost. You can also hit ATLASes with one bullet more times than Chris Brown hit Rihanna... Reapers are easier (and still quick if played aggresively like the world's shi[n][/b]ttest game of chicken in which not one semi-retarded turd from Gen Y gets run over and taken out of the most polluted gene pools since the Roman ages, and they were a fucked up bunch.

2nd question - Again from 360 (so it's not possible to Reegar cheese to sub-20... well it is just not with Biotic primerless, ****** for damage bonuses not Vanguards with a fear of pyromania).Fury is much better against Cerberus, the Talon is a good enough substitute for the Acolyte if you just want the bloody assholes of BSN to shut the hell up about using a crutch when they've never done the same insignificant thing in their somehow even less significant lives (Proof: They are bitching about people playing video games ever so slightly differently to them), I'd only recommend fire, W/I or Kroguard against Reapers if you want the fastest non-Acolyte time.

I don't care about reading the posts in this thread, but Reapers are easier and Cerberus is faster. That's about it.

Try and get devices on Glacier against Cerberus and tell me that they are easier!

Soloing against Cerberus is definitely not easier (with most setups; if you use the Venom shotgun, it is easier), but it is quicker because there are no Banshees in Cerberus that make you retreat.

It's not.

This. It's faster, but harder.

I know you're kidding.  But, I'm pushing myself for a no-cheese, sub-20-minute FB:Glacier run.

- no Reegar.
- no Acolyte.
- no Armored Compartments.
- no spawn-nuking
- no game mechanics exploit.

Also, 60 fps which is probably more mportant than all the rest.

it depends on the kit. With a acolyte trooper, banshees are a joke and can be taken down in about 8 or 9 seconds - including two of them next to each other.

Atlas shots are near impossible to dodge, turrets are the deadliest thing in the game, and phantoms, while easy to kill, are incredibly powerful. I do think that Marauders are stronger than Centurians, but a few Dragoons sneaking up on you and an atlas shot out of nowhere will take you down quickly.

Reapers are the easiest faction in the game, IMO. I also think they're the most fun to fight, though as they are very satisfying to kill.

[FuriousFelicia]

I thought you said you can't Fury cerberus

[Shinobu]

Hey, Tetsu! I don't have anything to add other than "good job on the solo, bro!" I think sub 30 gold is great and I know you'll keep shaving time off the more you train.

In my limited soloing experience I prefer Reapers to Cerberus, but I'm the one who took 82 minutes to solo Gold vs. Reapers, so there is that.

The time you spend running from two banshees is time you're not killing things. If you're kiting on a big and easy map like Giant, Rippas are actually easier. On a small map like Glacier when you're going for a fast time, Cerberus is easier.

Agreed here also fury can teleport doddge and hance reapers are easiest for her.

Just tried a FB:Glacier/Cerby/Gold solo run.

Got magnet-sync'd by a non-BE staggered Phantom on Wave 7. What the f*ck?!  Taking down the one Atlas felt like it took forever (since I don't have anything really special against it).  But that b*tch was just flat-out BS.

 Yeah that happens, a lot.  Solo speedrunning is actually not super EZ mode.

That was BS, man.  I felt like I was doing good time too, because of, "any time you're not killing, you're wasting time."  And with Wave 3 upload and Wave 6 Pizza, it was quite smooth.  Hell, when I got sync'ed, I still had 8 Ops Packs and 5 MediGels.  Her BS caught me off-guard, "Oi.  What the f*ck?"

Not cool.

 The best is when she sync-kills so quickly you as you're getting up that you still can't be killed so you just go down and instagetup again.  Then she syncs you again and you die for real.

Cerberus is actually one of the hardest factions. Reapers are nothing without Banshees. But Banshees are not as annoying as Phantoms in my opinion unless you have Acolyte or Scorpion.

[bondiboy]

The Asariguard makes light work of Cerberus. If you have a couple points in stasis then phantoms and engineers are trivialised .
Grenades for other mooks and Turrets and Talon with HB and AP for Dragoons Guardians and Atlas. She should never be synch killed or taken down by turret

 Yes.  I don't think I'd try to do it with the Fury though.

[drmoose00]

i would say it would wholly depend on your kit.

I would think reapers would be easier with certain kits, like with flamer (GT) or incindary grenades. or GI, Destroyer, etc...

Cerberus would be easier with the HA or AV, IMO. If you can solo with the Fury gold reapers, you could prob do Cerberus with the Human Adept. Using acolyte, singularity controls every mook except dragoons, and they are a joke with a quick warp to follow up the singularity. Atlas are NP, since thye are so slow. take cSMG as secondary, and your time will be much faster....
