I hate the Juggernaut for soloing since it is so slow.  If you do want to use it, then you should invest more in Hex Shield.  Weapon choice will depend on whether you plan to spam SP or not.  Against Reapers, you should probably just go PPR + Reegar if you want to make life easier on yourself.  For Cerberus, Venom + decent hitscan dps for the Atlases.

 

TGI, Batarian Soldier or Krogan Vanguard are all decent choices and what I would recommend otherwise.  My first gold solo was with GI though.

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

Geth is easiest for non melee Juggy. They have so many armored units all you need is some Incendiary Ammo and Siege Pulse. Reapers are the next easiest for mostly the same reasons as Geth except the worst part of them is Ravenger's with the line of sight cannons. The Cerberus Turrets, Phantom's and Atlas's Phase Disruptor make them a pain in the ass to me. Collectors are the worst because of swarm taking powers, Scions line if sight cannon's, Preatorian lasers and stagger prong not to mention the A-bomb stagger when they blow up.

Here is my Build.

If I'm using melee as a main part of the Juggy's attack then yes Cerberus is the easiest because I can deplete the wave budgets by killing the Phantoms pretty quickly.

Step 1: Get TGI with Carrier

Step 2: Select Giant/Reaper/Gold

Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit.

 

 

Seriously though, TGI with the Carrier is extremely good for easy solos, that's how I did my first gold solo, and I managed it in the first attempt. Just make sure you're never facing too many enemies at once so don't hesitate to run for a while.

Was just gonna right the same thing, although step 3 should be select grenade capacity.
You've got stealth and stim packs for survivability, and you kill things FAST. Just keep an eye out for ravages, and leave the banshees and brutes until last.

Think I did a silver solo once with the Jugg and decided he was too slow for a gold run--even with an adrenaline mod  (pray you don't get devices!).  But if you're going to do the Jugg, adrenaline mod is a must.  Better choices for a first gold solo attempt would be Batguard, BatSol, TGI, or Trooper IMO. Giant or Ghost are easiest maps offering a lot of cover and alternate escape routes.  Pick a few "kill zones" on the map offering good line of sight and right hand advantage.  Stay moving, kill a few, then flow to your next kill zone.  This should keep you from getting flanked.  My rule of thumb is more than 3 enemies converging--time to move.  Best to be patient and be conservative!  Think it's all about DPS--be able to kill stuff fast.  Reegar with incendiary ammo (cheesy but effective).  Harrier, Typhoon, Venom, Scorpion.  Geth scanner or Armored compartments gear.  Geth probably the easiest (beware stagger and hunters flanking).  Cerebus also (geth scanner to keep an eye on stalking phantoms and turrets).

EZ mode: Pick a quarian and fight geth. QFI or one of the Arcnade bros on white or giant is easier than any PUG game. Hydra or Glaicer is EZ too outside of objectives.

Rio is good for a Grenade kit, but Pizza and Escort objectives are hell there

Krogan Vanguard.  Reegar.  Incendiary ammo.  Geth,  That's all you need to solo gold as a scrub. 

 

Evidence: soloed gold as a scrub with this setup.  Got 10 Waves Survived, succeeded first try, didnt play Gold very much at all before that attempt.

Kroguard/Krolord w/ full melee build vs Geth, not much to learn here.

The pros: u can farm melee medals and challenge while soloing Gold using the above builds.

His sideways walk and Backwards walk are very fast. I think the sideways walk is faster.

I am not a fan of soloing (I enjoy the team play) but I did both of mine with the Jugg as well.  In hindsight, I should have just waited and done it with something else as now I feel much more comfortable with lots of characters, and the Jugg just takes a lot longer.  My first run was 88 minutes!  Second run was only 62 but still.  Anyways, I did both on Giant against Reapers, and I would usually start the waves by the LZ and hang there as long as possible, using the PPR for ranged kills and the Reegar when they get close.  When it got too hairy, I would start kiting the enemies around the level (through the back room, down the ladder, up the ramp through the raised room, down the ramp and back to the LZ, repeat.  I ended up using like 2 medi-gels each time, and probably 3-4 OPS packs.  Missiles were unnecessary, but were used on the final waves to ensure victory.

 

Build is very different from yours.  I can't stand using the Geth Turret with this class.  Check it out.  http://kalence.drupa...!24Q51364!98.AG

I did my lone wolf solos on Rio. Against Geth and Reaper. Escort and pizza aren't so bad as long as you can get the enemy behind you, especially Geth. When that happens you may not even have to fire a shot except for cleanup. If you have a fast kit you can make great use of the length of the map to draw enemies to one side and do the device, hack or whatever before the enemy can close in again.

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.

I would have picked cerberus if I were using a different kit. I'm just afraid of turrets since I'm not mobile enough to run around the map and stop engineers from putting them down.

And I agree glacier is not the best map for solo as well (I like goddess the most tho). I pick it simply because it's small so I don't have to spend 3 minutes walking to the objective.

This, https://www.youtube....h?v=94KGoGc-BCk, is the guide I used for mine so many moons ago.  Good luck and good hunting.

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

True. My TSol could really benefit from all those grenades.  <_<

 

Best advice I can give is to listen to people who play the game. ;)

Basically what I did, but mine were on Dagger and I was more aggresive

My fastest non-Kroguard Gold solo was Dagger/Reapers with this build

I've done my 3rd Solo Mastery last night, I have to say, so far the easiest and most enjoyable solo for me was Reactor (Hazard)/Collectors with the AWC/PPR.

Huge map, so many place to take hard and/or soft cover and Collectors are easy big targets. I never tried it with the PUGgernaut, but I can't imagine how it would be enjoyable, it's so sloooooooooooooow and no dodge, can't even step over a damn curb, it's annoying.

If you're looking for something to do with your eyes closed, GI, turn on Lamer, pick Giant/Rippaz set back and have a cup of tea.

Probably overreacting a little bit to the turrets- turrets are a beech, don't get me wrong, but they're also really easy to take out with him; one or two shots and a Siege Pulse does the trick, plus with your build (6b Fitness and a Cyclonic) you can withstand the turret for a moment if need be. But as others have said, the Jugg may not be ideal for your first solo just because of his speed. Kroguard vs. Geth is a really obvious one for a reason, but Kroguard vs Cerberus is just as much of a roflstomp. Venom Shaman absolutely trivializes Cerberus. I also find the Drell kits really easy for soloing (speed, killing power). Ditto for the BatSol and Batdept. GT, obviously. TGI or AIU as well. I'd go with whatever you're most comfortable with, and not just the kit but the enemy faction and map as well- don't worry about the time on your first few gold solos, just worry about completing them successfully and fairly comfortably.

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

The funny thing is that my attempt was literally the third time that I have played jugg. I hate that character (but love 4600 shield).
