Last time I checked, the Reegar, the Talon and the Wraith don't have a 225 shot clip and have the accuracy of the PPR. Last time I checked the PPR was the weapon of choice of Platinum Solos, not a silly squirt gun.

Cerberus is the easiest enemy. Geth cheat like crazy, Banshees >> Atlases, they alone are a reason I avoid reapers, and collectors beat them all. Stasis turns phantoms into target practice and dragoons are overrated.

Did I clame that the gun is not powerfull?
But your statement that gun is more OP than Talon or Wraith is funny (not to mention reeger).
And there are twofold more plat solols in the HOF with either of 3 weapons than with PPR.

The only "hard" waves of Cerberus Gold are Wave 7 (lol3engineers), and Wave 10 (Phantom death squad).

Geth are harder, and that's saying something.

But wave 7 ends quickly.

Geth are on the different level.

I used to think Collectors were the most difficult but now I think all factions are pretty much the same. I still don't enjoy Collectors but it's mainly the tactics which are diffferent between factions.

Cerberus are my favourite. You don't have to take an Acolyte or Scorpian. Any weapon will take down a Phantom but you can make it easier by understanding how phantoms attack.

For example if I'm sniping with a BW I equip a thermal scope.  If you manage to get a shot or two into her she'll turn invisible and hide. Now use the thermal scope to line up a head-shot and she's history.

I love playing the Asari Vanguard against Cerberus with the Pirhana.  I use both charge and Stassis to deal with Phantoms and Charge - back dodge - Pirhana - Repeat, to deal with Dragoons and Atlas.

Even a THavoc with a Typhoon will take out any Cerberus units by just out DPS'ing all the units. Just use freeze to slow them down. Phantoms die in a hail of bullets.

It really just takes practice and learning how the enemy moves. Use whichever weapons and characters you feel comfortable with.

yeah, like people say, if your class and gun combo can wreck phantom/dragoon rushes, than cerb is no big deal. I vanguard a lot and they mess phantoms up pretty good. However since i power class a lot, collectors are my arch nemesis, while a gun or grenade based class can stomp through collectors pretty ruthlessly. Though i don't think it's just me, collectors are the most common enemy that any lobby i'm in, with or without other solid players, might statistically wipe. Too many ways to get sync-killed, Abomb'ed, scion warp-death-flowered or cornered by a praetorian that staggerlocks you if you try to gel. Go look at the numbers, all the collector units have more health and offense than comparable units in other factions.

I don't play the Geth, so that leaves me with 3 factions only, of which Reapers are by far the easiest and I've played waaaaaay too much Cerberus to call them difficult.

Therefore I have to go with the Collectors, who are my favourite faction to play against.

Although he is funny, he isn't totally wrong, PPR doesn't require aiming per se, it requires target tracking. If one is able to keep the Lazor on banshee's head he will one-clip her, if not - wait for 3-4 seconds for next DPS train.

@XxproknifaxX so show me how lolOP is the PPR, show me gold carebears solo in better time with it, the only requirement is - no grenade spam, no rockets to fasten the game (feel free to use them for objectives), the gun should be the main source of damage. The gun is ridiculously OP and doesn't require any skill at all, so it shouldn't be hard for you.

phantoms are a pita, but of all the factions, the only difference to me is in the cheap BS employed, of which IMO

Collectors are nicest (they're mean, but fair), they rarely pull cheep bs randomly, and can be learned easily
Reapers, some units pull BS from time to time, but not bad
Cerberus, phantoms are awful, and there are cheap as **** units but,
THE GETH, machines forged in the fires of tartarus out of the finest minotaur manure, and trained in hell, seriously, screw them

I'd say that's just another type of aiming, where the focus is on tracking and predicting the target's movement instead of on timing your shots with the relative movement of your reticle and the target.

Of course, all that's just semantics.

I find Cerberus to be the most difficult by far. Everything but the Atlas is fast, and most of them can essentially ignore your shield/healthgates. I hate how phantoms make you drop whatever you were doing to deal with them immediately, and can be a real pain to kill if you don't have the right setup. Having one come up on you while doing a device is practically a death sentence, as by the time you get far enough away from the device for the "One Button" to let you run/dodge instead of hack and allow you to shoot/use powers, you are probably already dead from their handcannons.

Geth are laughably easy as long as you don't get too close to the pyros on a squishy class. Reapers I also find to be easy, though sometimes being constantly chased by banshees can be irritating. Collectors can be tough, but still far easier than Cerberus.

Well, it's not so hard in this game, though I still can't track em with 99%percent consistency. But "nothing is hard in this game, everything is a crutch in this game".

I used to be decent with shaft (lightning gun) in Q3... loong time ago ^_^

You're going to have come with a bit more than hyperbole. Are you sure that Cerberus just isn't the hardest faction to you? Are you moving laterally instead of a circular motion when you get closed in? Most of the AI units can get be 'duped' by moving in a circular pattern around them. From practical experience, I've carried or clutched the most games in order: Reapers, Collectors, Cerberus, then Geth. If you were ranking by dirtiest plays, then sure they could tie with the Geth. Are you sure it's not the quality of the people you are playing with? Are you successfully kiting and watching your back every few seconds? Are you giving your other teammates enough distance during a fight or are you huddled up?

Geth wins out in difficulty since they have more units that cheat or just plain ridiculous. Cerb only has the phantom and dragoon.

Pretty sure carebears can only match geth if the troopers act like dragoons or the nemesis gets a behavior upgrade to tag team with centurions instead of being the derpy nuisance they are or cheap phantom fishing bait.

Cerberus are definitely the easiest faction on gold, by far. Only 1 armoured boss enemy. You don't need to worry too much about dealing with armour...but you'll make things a lot easier for yourself if you use a character or weapon that can trivialise phantoms. Fury, slayer, talon pistol, talon mercenary, acolyte, venom, reegar, flamer....just pick any one of those, and you will be able to take out phantoms very easily.

Venom shotgun is amazing against cerberus on gold, gold cerberus is full of mooks which are very weak when you use the venom.

Cerberus gold mooks are very easy and very quick to kill. You don't need to worry about atlases too much, they're very slow and pose very little threat, definitely the easiest boss level enemy in the entire game.

You might struggle against phantoms if you don't have an acolyte, talon or reegar. Really though, you can use absolutely any character with any weapons, cerberus on gold are way too easy.

According to bsn:

- Gold is hard.
- Gold is fun.
- Platinum is easy.

I find Platinum to be both tedious and stressful at the same time. Even when Gold was super duper hard for me, I never found it tedious.
