TL;DR:
Achieve full extraction as a squad of 1 to 4 player(s) on Hazard White vs Reapers on any difficulty using only Cryo ammo and any weapon(s) on one of the ice power kits, namely Paladin, AIU, QFE, Havoc, and/or HI. Rockets only on objective waves and extraction. Post screenshot. (Details below.)
Full details:
As I'm sure many of you are aware, large parts of the population of the Northern Hemisphere are living in the grip of a heat wave. So, I was wondering what would be the mission setup that would make one feel coolest while playing.
The map is obvious, Firebase White Hazard for all the cooling snow. It's also obvious that one wants to use kits that have cooling powers, such as Snap Freeze and Cryo Blast, and that the use of fire powers should be avoided as much as possible. And it's equally obvious that Cryo ammo should be used on everything.
For opponents we should pick those that don't make you hotter than you already are, so no Geth (because Pyros) and not Cerberus (because incendiary Atlas rockets). Collectors use heat rays and buttlaz0rs which have burning effects, so that leaves Reapers as the enemy of choice.
So the setup I came up with is:
Map: Hazard White, for coolness and because it has plenty of grenades for those who need them in various forms.
Enemy faction: Reapers.
Teams of any number (solo, duo, trio, full squad) drawn from the following character list, with no duplicates: Paladin, AIU, QFE, Turian Havoc, and Human Infiltrator. Note that two Human Infiltrators are allowed as long as they are of different gender.
Weapon choice is open, although preference is given to those that are good at applying Cryo ammo effects. Use of Incinerate on the Paladin and QFE is deprecated, as is the use of Flamer Turret (Cryo ammo on the Turret is obviously encouraged) on the QFE and Incendiary Strike on the Havoc (but if that's the way they are specced it's OK).
Cryo Ammo is required to be equipped(*).
In the spirit of Prestacious's challenges, to which this is a homage, missiles are allowed only on objective waves and extraction (and no armored compartments, duh). However, it's hot, so one rage rocket per player is allowed during the course of the game.
Challenge: Fight Reapers on Hazard White on any difficulty, completion of the challenge requires full extraction.
Extra recognition will be given for the smallest absolute spread between high and low score. There will be a special award for the smallest nonzero score achieved with a single missile ![]()
Playing without clothes on is encouraged but not actually required.
Bonus awards will be given for submitting photographic evidence of lack of clothing while playing(**). Note that selfies taken in public restrooms will not be eligible.
Get your teams together, stay cool by killing Reapers, and start posting screenshots! ![]()
The challenge will remain open until the heatwave is officially over - which is when I decide that it's officially over
(***).
(*) Attempts to be excused from the Cryo Ammo requirement on the grounds of not having any will be dismissed with derisive laughter.
(**) Absolutely only within the bounds of BSN's ToS, which I encourage you not to violate in this or any other thread.
(***) Which is when I finally cool down, or the ambient temperature drops below 30C, whichever happens first.
