you stop that or you'll actually complete ur n7 thing
then exclusum would have to quite DAMP for the N7 thing

not before i get bored of it, besides i can solo in dai
It depends of course of objectives and the character used, but I think that Rio Geth is overall easier than Condor Geth, mainly for a better amount of cover. Definitively with the TGI, because of a better Stim Packs supply on Rio, and the crap objectives of this map (pizzas for console players) isn't such a big deal when you can restore your shields without any cooldown.
the pizza and escort has been my bane on this map. I can't, for the life of me, finish those 2 objectives without using most of my consumables. Rio's the only map where I prefer devices even on wave 10 over pizza/escort (except if i'm using a turian/batarian/krogan I can pizza run with ease).. but I'll take your word for it.
^I am skeptical about that.
The crap waves for Geth are mainly 2 and 9. 10 has Primes, but as an objective wave it is hardly alone in that respect. I think running the short circuit around the cargo area of Rio probably beats Condor on most waves, and objectives might be a wash (depend to much on specific objectives for each map).
Based on my experience, I had far better success on 7 tries on condor and rio, each with GI.. Granted I was using PC on Condor. Rio has been a pain in the ass for me since I always get pizza and escort almost all the time. But then again, you're better than me.. so I'll defer to your judgment. ![]()
which will come soon ... ?
After embracing his masochistic side and completing a string of Geth solos recently, capn233 has now completed at least 10 solos against each enemy faction - joining an exclusive group of ex-Clusum, TheNightSlasher and some scrub.
Also, I think in part thanks to Prestacious's challenges, the average completion time for PC is only 8 seconds faster than PS3 now.
I'm shaving points.
Slowly, but surely I'm nearing all classes done. I have rarely played soldiers - not even to mention the Geth one - so this one wasn't pretty, but I understand now, why everyone solos with the Geth Trooper. Flaming everything!

Sorry for bringing the PC average time down a bit - again. ![]()
Question, has anyone solo'd riodome? rio geth krolord?
EDIT : NVM. Anyone want to try and solo it? I can't get past w7. Hahaaha
You can actually use Cabal for Vanguard. I almost solo'd my first plat with her, banshee grab on w10.
Might give the Cabal a try. The vanguards I play the most in pugs are the Asari, the Krogan and the N7 Slayer. My first thought was the Slayer because Slash is probably the best for crowd control. I'll keep you guys posted...

Targets wave 3 made me use 4 missiles. And since I no longer have the patience for double Banshees waves, I was out of missiles at the end of wave 5

This went much better than my Justicar solo. Still slower than many entries for QME but now I have a mouse and I'm using a different laptop, which seems to run the game at just a bit below console frame rate instead of near single digits.

Wave 3, I tried to kill the first Atlases without missiles, but I never found a good RHA situation, Phantoms and Brutes were constantly flanking me. I didn't have a cyclonic (power amp), so I couldn't take any damage and I was burning all my ops packs, so I decided finally to use the missiles instead of wasting ops or gels.
For wave 5, Venom is pretty good against Banshees... but still slower than a missile
! I got 2 killstreaks, so the wave was pretty fast. I'm also a little tired of soloing, so I have less and less tolerance for these bi*ches these days. But I have only a few kits left, so I will make a last effort to finish this madness.

Bringing the PC average time down all day erry day. I thought collectors would be the hardest faction but actually waves 1-8 were the easiest by far. But it went to hell as soon as phantoms showed up, and W10 was terrible.
Anyway, with the Geth Infiltrator Solo I did vs. Cerberus a few months ago, plus QME and Justicar I have now completed all factions. Now on to all classes, I just need a Soldier and a Vanguard. ![]()

I believe you only have the following 7 kits left to complete: Asari Adept, Fury, Quarian Marksman, Human Engineer, Volus Engineer, Shadow & Huntress. Any worries about any of those? The Shadow and the Marksman are among the very least popular kits for platinum solos and have quite high average times too, I know you're not a fan of the Fury either.
I think you should make your last one special...........like Geth/Condor or Collectors/Jade ![]()

It might be slower than some other QME solos but it's the fastest ever solo using the Adas on any kit, well done.

Your list is right cato. But it's actually 6, I solo'd with the Huntress a few hours ago. It's true that I'm not a fan of the Fury, but I fell in love with Dark Channel after my Huntress solo, so I will probably give her a try tonight, after work. I will play her in the scrubbiest possible way : by spamming Dark Channel and kiting
!
If there are "crutch" kits for plat solos, the Quarian Marksman is indeed the exact opposite. I will use the usual cheese for him : Venom / Hurricane / Giant / Cerberus. It should not be too hard, I think.
The volus engineer is... surprising. If I remember your stats, he has quite a good average time and some players have done their fastest solo with him. I guess that his debuffs more than compensate his mediocre passives.
I barely tolerate Collectors on Giant so on Jade... it's not going to happen
. I will maybe think about very hardcore solos after the completion of all characters, but for now I rather appreciate my rate of success on Giant
.
So did nobody use Bonus Power on their Volus Protector solos?

Nope.
On topic : Huntress. Like b00gie could say, looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
I had never done any solo with her, so I hadn't fully realized how OP she is. Cloaked Dark Channel is just ridiculous.

It was so easy that I used my first gel at wave 8 and kept 4 missiles for wave 10. It was useless since I got an escort but at least the cleanup was pleasant

I don't like any of the soldiers much, they're my least favorite class, so I just wanted to get this over with easily and cross them off the list. Of course then I failed three consecutive attempts to solo with the Trooper, including a banshee sync kill in w1 versus reapers.
Volus Protector Vanguard
capn233 | November 21 2014 | 48:32 | Reactor | Collectors | Reegar
The first time I tried this I got all devices. I also managed to use all my gels without getting a single Ops Pack off. I learned from the first game that my bonus power build was pretty crappy for this matchup, so I ended up mainly spamming shield boost. The Wave 6 Escort is nearly the easiest objective on this map, but the reactor hack on 10 took some doing since I didn't glitch it.
I would have respec'd away from Bonus Power but I didn't have any respec cards at the time. Also I think this is the only Protector solo v Collectors.
This was my 70th platinum solo.
Batarian Brawler Vanguard
capn233 | November 21 2014 | 37:30 | Giant | Geth | Reegar **10 Waves Survived**
Hack, Packages, Devices. I didn't care to attempt Brawler too many times, but I also figured he was probably the best character out of the ones I have left to try and get 10WS vs the Geth. So I went Giant. Wave 10 Devices were somewhat suspenseful.
Looking at my solos, I don't think I have a 10WS vs Collectors. This despite taking some pretty powerful setups against them like TGI. Pretty sure it is a combination of getting laser beamed or hit by abominations.
N7 Shadow
Not much playing with Shadow but with sniper build this run was manageable. Objectives were targets, targets, hack. No missiles used for targets but five for clearing wave 10. One infiltrator (QMI) remaining.

Fury. Too bad there are not more kits with Dark Channel 'cause this is my new best crutch friend.
loufi1528 I November 21 2014 I 45:55 I Giant I Cerberus I Venom & Hurricane
Devices wave 10 were tricky, I ended with less than 30 seconds left and had to use 2 missiles to complete the objective. I had still 4 gels at the end but missed extraction because I dodged too far lol.
I used an hyper original scrubby build skipping entirely Annihilation Field. This solo officially postulates for the title of scrubbiest solo of the year. Try to beat my srubbiness guys
