So I've been trying to get the Lone Wolf badge and it comes down to solo gold.

I went for jug on glacier vs reaper without thinking much and put on a cyclonic 4 for it. Surely nothing can go wrong when I have that much shield rite?

 

I got rekt. Hard. I never realized gold waves are so long

Is it just me, or is solo jug not as good as it seems?

my jug build if it matters

 

Edit: first time solo gold success!     TGI white vs cerberus. I never realized phantoms are so tanky (for some reason they've always seemed flimsy to me until now. I'm considering taking reegar next time.)... It is an extremely scary experience running across the field full of phantoms. Don't wanna do it again. (kroguard geth next)

Using Venom Shotgun will automatically make you a pro at soloing.

[Mordokai]

I only did four solo gold attempts and got to wave nine, at most. However, much like yourself, in the days when I started doing silver solos, I made a mistake of going for juggy as my first choice.

 

For me, he's just to slow and cumbersome. Sure, it can be done, but I don't imagine I could do it personally. And I think you're making a mistake of thinking that taking a lot of damage is a good way to weather anything the game throws at you.

 

It's isn't. Dealing damage will get you over faster than taking damage. To that effect, maybe try soloing with your preferred fast damage dealing class? For me, that is asariguard. For you, it may be something else.

 

However, if the BSN has drilled something in me, it's this: speed matters more than shields. Try to adopt this as your mantra and you may do better.

 

EDIT: but if you really want to do it with jugg, this may offer some inspiration.

Scrubs can't solo gold.

If you're really set on using the Juggernaut then Cerberus is the much better choice for enemy faction, in my opinion. White would probably be a better map too.

[RanetheViking]

If you just want to cheez it use the Reegar with Incendiary ammo or the Pirahna with Armour Piercing IV. Personally I'd forget the Turret and spec your Hex Shield for Pulse, Shock and Large Shield. Think of it as mobile Right Hand Advantage (RHA).

 

Always watch your back and keep moving. Pick a map you like the best.

 

I remember something the Techno Turian said once, "learn to walk backwards through the maps". It may sound a bit funny, but it is damn good advice. I can't count how many times I've backed up and been pinned by something in the map/environment and got myself killed.

 

And Mordokai is right, think about putting the damage out instead of just being able to tank damage. 

 

Anyway good luck.

Yeah if you don't solo those waves sure seem long. That changes after you do more solos, though. Raider's a great gun but I'm not sure how much I like it on the Jugg trying to do your first Gold solos- obviously on a solo there's nobody else to draw aggro, and the Jugg is slow so its easier to get swarmed as it is, and the Raider requires getting really close; just seems like a recipe for needing to burn through alot of medi-gels. Until you're more comfortable, I'd use a different gun, something that at least allows you to hit stuff at range. Hard to the beat the GPS- staggers, gets the geth weapon bonus, and reliably primes, and probably the most fun and effective way to play the Jugg is Siege Pulse spam triggering ammo combos, so it fits the playstyle. Venom is also awesome, and you can always use other standby's like Arc Peestol or Hurricane or whatever as well. 

 

Oh, and I agree with Cato about Cerberus, especially if you end up using GPS or Venom- those projective guns+Siege Pulse annihilate Cerberus (and do a pretty fair job on Geth too). 

[q5tyhj]

And Mordokai is right, think about putting the damage out instead of just being able to tank damage. 

I'm with you guys; to this end I never take 6b in Fitness (usually only go 4 or 5 ranks) and I nearly always use AM3. Being mobile and killing stuff keeps you alive way more than having extra shields, even a hefty chunk of extra shields. 

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Scrubs can't solo gold.

 

 

False. I've soloed gold.

[Alfonsedode]

kroguard or batguard with a light high DPS shotgun (wraith reegar venom pirahna) are far easier choice; If U fear instakill, solo vs geth. With a cyclo 4 and a map like white or glacier, u litterally can't die if U use the charge to replenish your shield.

Then, this is ultra easymode.

After the first 2 U should try your favorite kits

[Loufi]

Nothing wrong with your build, but I would replace the Raider by the Reegar, with incendiary rounds. The ton of shields the Juggernaut has is great for a first gold solo but his low speed makes that he can be easily surrounded if he doesn't produce enough damage, and the Reegar is the best for that. The fact that the Juggernaut can't be sync-killed and can take a lot of damage makes him a very good Reegar user. As for the map, I would replace Glacier by White (more possibilities to escape, and easier objectives) and Reapers by Cerberus. Phantoms are a joke with the Reegar. Be careful with dragoons, try to quickly put them on fire and then create a fire explosions with Siege Pulse.

 

If you feel you need to, there are plenty of solos on White you could watch in these two threads :

However, as Alfonse said, a krogan or batarian vanguard solo against geth would be even easier. Warlord VS Geth is a good option too.

[andy_3_913]

False. I've soloed gold.

Me too.

[Olivia Wilde]

Me too.

me three

 

an intelligent scrub can solo gold

 

also there's always Kroguard vs Geth if all you want is lone wolf

If you're not planning on speedrunning, Glacier is in fact possibly the worst map, because it's the smallest and enemies will find you faster. Pick a map where you have you enough room to kite comfortably but the map isn't too big (Reactor, Giant, Ghost).

 

That should help aleviate most problems with tankiness. Use soft cover and Geth Scanner (or Grenade Capacity if you're using a grenade class - unless you're on Glacier, then just stick to the Scanner).

 

Cerberus or Geth should be the optimal choice of opposition because their big boss units (Prime&Atlas as opposed to Praetorian&Banshee) don't close on you fast enough to draw attention away from eliminating mooks.

 

If you're solely after the badge, repeat what I did in this match until you get good enough objectives. It should be very idiot proof.

That's rather aggressive play for a squishy kit like the Demolisher.  I doubt it is as easy as you made it look.

Well, watch waves 4-11.

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

I'd recommend KroLord Melee Spec vs Geth on Firebase White. I found Electric Hammer and Disruptor rounds did the trick. Few will acknowledge the usefulness of Electric Hammer, but the TTK difference vs Primes is minimal, and the increased damage against crowds will make a big difference when soloing. You can prime a target in a group with Disruptor Ammo (I used a Geth Shotgun, but I'm sure there are plenty of good options) then detonate with EH Heavy Melee, and, if you're taking too much damage, you can just run behind cover and let the DoT take out the crowd for you.

 

I managed my second Gold solo for Lone Wolf that way, and it took me two tries. I was disconnected the first time, but I had 5 Waves survived and most of my equipment when it happened. The second was successful. I struggle with solos, and struggle with Platinum, but the KroLord with EH is very well-suited to taking on Geth, and FB White offers lots of RHA and cover to avoid Prime crossfires, and draw enemies into chokepoints where you have the advantage.

[prinsesbubblegum]

Your build is fine. I would apply Reegar with high velocity barrel and omni blade. And incendiary ammo!

Be a scumbag Prime, use Siege pulse from time to time to make fire explosions.

Juggy is a easy mode solo character just be patient you will get it eventually.

Here is a good video for someone trying to solo. It's a platinum solo but you can use the same tactics on gold.

[TheBunz]

For you, try these:
N7 Demolisher + Harrier, N7 destroyer + harrier + Reeger, AIU + reeger, any turian + grenade capacity, GI + pirhana, any krogan vs Geth, paladin vs Geth.

As for maps: giant, white

[Nitrocuban]

Turian crackhead Infiltrator, armored compartements, a map you can run in circles like White or Giant, Harrier.

Avoiding sync kills isn't that hard, just run ahead of the enemy spawn and decimate them while they follow you.

Objectives and extraction sometimes need you to distract enemies first, but there are a lot of how to videos on YT about that.

[Olivia Wilde]

My near success (synced on extraction) was with this

Giant Reapers

 

only ended up using 3 gels, but objectives were pretty easy (devices/Targets/devices)

[Olivia Wilde]

and yes my experiences have taught me the easiest enemy for a Juggernaut is Cerberus save Atlases for last and avoid Turrets

Your point with electrical hammer is well made

 

it's more useful for solos than biotic hammer and more useful against geth as well

 

my first 200 Krolord waves were over 75% Solo, because I initially found him annoying when others played him

 

Once I had my PPR at VII I started using that and playing in groups

 

I still have some sync kill problems with Banshees but pretty much everyone does and not because stupidity

[Seraphiene]

Maybe not exactly a "pro" tip, but: try to solo with the kit you are most comfortable with.   As for the Juggernaut: he's often considered to be a "noobproof" kit, but in that case I'm an even bigger noob, because my two Gold solo (and one Platinum solo) attempts with him were a huge fail. Maybe I should've taken that damn Reegar... and I bet that even in that case I would have failed because the Juggernaut is just too sluggish for my taste.

So, take any kit you feel comfortable with and maybe pick a bigger map for the first Gold solo, it might help you when kiting the enemies around. And I have to agree with Mordokai, being able to deal damage is much better than being able to take damage. Just kill it before it kills you.   (Of course while still being cautious.)
