I was gonna come here and post my new personal best time, but it's not going to look very impressive with that post from Techno right above it.

Wohoo, new page, it looks a litle better now

I was hoping to improve by more then 10 seconds, but when you suffer from nuke while staggerd syndrome, and shot a rocket into nothing, you take what you get.

 

 

(in reality I have a faster plat solo then this, but it involved a pc and a reegar, so it`s kinda lol. I will stick to ps3 as my official plat solo platform)

for pres's thread.

 

Spoiler

 

counting tons of wave 1 ragequits, sync kill fails, devices/targets, and other miscellaneous garbage this took 67 attempts. 

 

You are effin' insane, woman.

 

I only wish I could be half as insane as you are

Devices again, but one solo attempt is about all I can handle today.

Nicely done. I'm tired of seeing amazing runs with that venom shotgun, I really need someone to teach me the secret ways of that weapon, who will be my sensei ? Or is it something you must be born with like the innate piercing ?

I was bored and did one more run, kind of wish that I didn't as the objective waves and 10 especially were a bit rage inducing.

I'll keep grinding this until the game finally decided to give me good objectives.

it think it takes quite a while to get used to, in my case anyway. When to charge, when to shoot. Asari Valkyrie helped me get better with it this week. I still suck though . Sorry TTT, i migth slow the gal a bit ...

W10 device was an utterly close call, costing me my last missile and few consomables. ALL F****** 4 devices ended up around the central zone outside except maybe one. and with 4*2 unit at different pace...

Thought i had an impressive aggressive flow, lol, secretly expecting 32 35' , but i guess closing device twice at the end...

You should have recorded it, that would have made you my sensei, now I will never learn the ways of the venom, oh well...

The Venom is a very classic projectile charging weapon. Not that hard to use, actually.

Its DPS is higher when you fire non charged shots (just like the Kishock). Charged shots provide better crowd control as you probably already know.

 

In other terms :

 

Going against a group of enemies, especially small ones ? Charge the weapon, aim for the enemies' feet.

 

Going against a boss, tough armored enemy ? Want higher DPS for any reason ? Just fire normal shots.

 

The classic "Fire a charged shot, then instantly fire a non charged shot after it" combo works pretty well on the Venom, also. In both situations : extra crowd control and damage against groups (provided the second shot hits, of course), good burst of damage and higher rate of fire against armored targets.

 

No big deal, as you can see. This gun's innate piercing is just icing on the cake, but it doesn't help that much.

 

What is really important is that (imo) the Venom, like a lot of Ultra rare / N7 weapons, will be **** until you upgrade it to level V minimum.

You rather means that the gun ignores armor damage reduction, right ? Because the Venom can't pierce.

 

Good points otherwise.

Alright, alright, I'll give it another shot soon...

[PatrickBateman]

Ha ha Patrick you've proved the exact opposite than what you wanted !

Yeah, nobody could see the difference between 20:01 and 19:59.

Here is the land of freedom Frank ! People of the themed challenges, I'm calling you : don't let anymore a batarian slaver imposes you a ton of arbitrary rules. You are, and you will always be, free individuals. Break your chains, and join me, to recover your LLLLLIIIIIBBBBBEEEEERRRRRTTTTTYYYYY ! *


* Despite the appearances, I don't take any drug.

Yesterday I managed to fail my real point, I did a DAI/Tempest run which would have been faster than the BPP run but I managed to get picked up by a Banshee on wave 10, so my highly scientific conclussion is that the Tempest is better than the BPP!

You know the rules Patrick : pics or...

[Alfonsedode]

The Venom is a very classic projectile charging weapon. Not that hard to use, actually.
Its DPS is higher when you fire non charged shots (just like the Kishock). Charged shots provide better crowd control as you probably already know.

Indeed , charging it only multiply damage by 1.25 splitted between the 3 projectiles. So often even less damage, but far wider area of effect.

BUT, single shot often ended up into the void (and sometimes superbly ignore your RHA to just detonate in front of u ?)
SO that charging is my go to option as soon as i have time (even when i dont sometimes) and i m not dealing with a bullet sponge.

Whats the big deal when u reach level 5 ?

[PatrickBateman]

You just need to trust my word in that it's a highly sofisticated scientific test done behind that conclussion! Might redo it again at some point, though I'm sure I'll get wave 10 targets if I try it again....

That will be perfect, since you need to get targets and devices for a fair comparison with the BPP solo.

Updated !

Devices are easy mode with the DAI in general, targets wave 6 I could probably pull off with the tempest, wave 10 targets would probably be impossible though unless both Banshees decideds to camp the balcony early on.

i m pretty sure u ll o faster than me

Very true, very true. I tend to do the same. But then again, if you watch TheTechnoTurian's latest plat solo with the Valkyrie (the sub 20 one on YT), she does a lot more simple shots, way more than charged ones. And it's really efficient.

 

Ignored RHA can be compensated by strafing a bit more to the right. Shots ending up into the void are impossible to avoid, but with some practice you can be really accurate with this gun. 

 

About the weapon's level : as you already know, upgrading a weapon reduces its weight, increases its damage and its bullet capacity. 

It just so happens that these upgrades make that the Venom is truly interesting and efficient only when you have it level V. 

 

It's the same deal about a lot (if not every) N7 weapon : you basically have a more or less top quality weapon when it reaches level V (even if some of them are pretty good already at level I). Last upgrades are just icing on the cake.

Javelin doesn't have enough ammo until you have it level V-VI, for instance. Collector SMG too. Etc. 

 

That's my opinion of course, but I think you'll agree with me on the principle.

Thanks , I've watched a bit of it and I think that will be helpful indeed. That being said I'm not kidding about my skills with the venom shotgun, they are nonexistent. Also I'm not very skilled with the Valkyrie; will probably need to do dozens of gold runs before I even think about speedrunning platinum. Ever done a solo with the Valkyrie yourself ?

Finally a good run with good objectives and not to many BS spawns.

A new time record for me, it's 16 seconds faster than my old GI/Venom run.

This took a few tries, I had 5 or 6 wave 3 targets/devices rage quits before this try.

Now I won't be doing anymore DAI/Hurricane runs for a while.

Yep yep, the one above which started our discussion . She is really tough, and the warp CD biotic boom needs a bit of time to get use to with the 4 shot venom, but as she is far more forgiving than the fury u should do well quite fast. Gold with Cyclo IV wld be almost a joke, and maybe the right plae to pratice venom : where to bounce the nades, and how much curve.
I had 3-4 tries before closing it started kiting a lot and ended up rushing "everything". (I guess real pro are able to stay in the same RHA spots inside around the upper stairs but i still had to move a lot)

Yeah, the bullet capacity seems the main issue imo, but i havent felt a big difference at level 5 (at least with non infinite ammo gun), was not really soloing at that time though

Riiiight, that was you haha. Well 42:35 sounds pretty good to me considering you got devices on wave 3 and 10. Honestly if I'm gonna solo this wonderful kit, I'll probably do it with weapons I'm comfortable with first.

Thought I was done with this kit but after watching that freelancer Valkyrie run I thought : sub 20 that's pretty amazing, wait how much time can I gain on a solo with Armored Compartements ? Was a bit clumsy with rockets as I've never done a platinum solo with AC but it went quite well. (Got trolled by a pack of goons who prevented me from getting to the shuttle, RIP Fury)

That's a great solo, playing the Fury that fast and aggressive isn't easy, I've only seen a few people play it like that.
