I really struggle with these shield mechanics hence I always spec out of hunter mode. My GI seems to die a bit too drequentky on gold and platinum even with cylclonic 4s. I'll try all builds one day when I actually have the time. But thanks caineghis, yours and bunky's vids are the reason I'm the decent player that I am.

Disruptor ammo is much better if you use the Acolyte, Cryo does nothing for you against armor other than slowing down their moment speed, which is not really that great in this game.

And phasic is even better

[RidiculousMammal]

This thread contains some of the worst advice I've seen in a long time. Way to start 2016 bsn, haha!

Alright, douchebag mode off now XD.

 

  Wait, you have a different mode?  jk

[RidiculousMammal]

  Seriously tho OP, the Geth Soldier is the easiest to play.  Way to set yourself up or flaming.

[filippopotame]

And to the OP, congrats ! I had so much trouble doing the same thing (on white) a few months ago.

And please forget about the Collector Assault Rifle, there is absoluthy no reason not to take a mattock (for instance) instead.

56663 is the best flamer spec, especially if you can afford Cyclonic Modulator 4s.  If you are going to go 0 HM, then run Geth Scanner.

 

Throw your Cryo Ammo out the airlock and run Incendiary for glitched stacking / interaction with Flamer.  Needs a little practice to use correctly against a couple power block characters.

Please, tell me more about bypassing cockblocking.

Hunter Mode takes half of your base shields, meaning 500 points.  It does not take anything you gain from Fitness or Cyclonics.  Situational awareness is a tremendous advantage, especially in solos, so Hunter Mode is not something to spec out of.

 

You could put Geth Scanner on Geth Trooper, since it is solo no one will be there to laugh at you.

i wear my geth scanner with pride!

@OP, I recommend using the particle, if you have it it has decent dps,range, and it saves you from making too many visits to the ammo box. 

Don't be afraid to use your elbow, it staggers everytime and it's useful for slapping goons/cannibals when they try to give you a kissu. 

I use the venom because I'm insane, and making things go boom boom is fun. Probably not useful for a solo though.

Would definitely want a secondary if you're soloing plat with PPR GT, phantoms would be a real pain...

Well it doesn't really actually matter as much in a solo with GTS, since the only enemy that will activate power blocking against Flamer should be the Praetorian.  But if it does, the DOT from IA+Flamer stop.  Basically if it is on the ground "walking," or using laser-eyes, use the Flamer on it.  If it is floating, then shoot it until it goes onto the ground stance.

 

Team games, especially pugs, are more like where you get into more problems with power blocking since others with projectile powers can activate it.  Venom or a stagger weapon will knock a Phantom out of it, and you'll probably just need to shoot Banshees until they are out of their stance if a team member activates hers.

I heartily endorse this product and/or service.

Also with the Acolyte? Don't it fire a bit to slow for really taking full advantage of the Incendiary stacking?

I'd agree that running the GT with the Reegar with Incendiary IV vs Reapers is extreamly powerful, but vs say Cerberus or Geth with all their Shields if you are using the Acolyte, wouldn't Disruptor be a better option than Incendiary?

And just noticed that Freelancer used Warp IV on his sub 20 GT solo, that might be worth trying out also.

[DaemionMoadrin]

The Acolyte does so much shield/barrier damage on its own, you don't need disruptor ammo for it.

Platinum Atlas Shields does take quite a few shots to take down even when using Disruptor on the Acolyte, and they are the units that take by far the longest time to kill when soloing Cerberus. Once you get down to their armor they go down really fast, but those shields are kind of annoying.

why wld u skip the last rank of flamer ?

 

and btw, i found cryo ammo really usefull especially against brutes, and its priceless during a non glitched hack. Slowing them down under your flamer is great.

U still got 3 shoots to take the banshee s barrier down, same with DA. Maybe phasics is 2 shot though.

[Loufi]

The incendiary glitch isn't very impressive with the Acolyte. As for disruptor or phasic, the idea is to reinforce the Acolyte's main strenght, destroying shields and barriers, while Flamer takes care of armor thanks to its high multiplier VS type of defense. The sooner you attack armor with Flamer, the better. If I remember correctly, a GT can 3-shots a platinum Banshee's barrier with an Acolyte and phasic ammo, while it will take at least 1 more shot with other types of ammo (edit : if you don't have a pistol amp 3).  

 

As for Freelancer's last GT solo, I think he used Warp because he knew that he was going to missile all double Atlases, so he chose an ammo with a damage bonus against dragoons. Those guys don't panick when they're in fire, so they aren't easy to stop.

True that, but I think I prefer Disruptor over Phasics when soloing with GT/Acolyte, I find the stun effect from Disruptor to be quite usefull at times.

Yeah, it's a pretty smart strategy be Freelancer in that solo on that map, perfect spot for taking Everything out and leaving only the Atlases for the end - very impressive.

4400 * 3 is just what you need for the banshee's barrier, and u reach it with cryo ammo

 

Edit: and phasics is far from enough to 2 shot the barrier. So no point in it

I think it's a typo. As for cryo, it has its use on a Flamer kit, yes, for crowd control. But if you're going for maximal speed, you will get more efficiency from other ammo types.

You're correct, I guess I've done too many solos with a weapon amp 1 or 2.

 

True that, but I think I prefer Disruptor over Phasics when soloing with GT/Acolyte, I find the stun effect from Disruptor to be quite usefull at times.

I quite agree, disruptor already provides a great level of shields destruction, and stunning Dragoons or Pyros is useful at times.

Eh, that was supposed to be 5 in Fortification, which I misremembered as the first power on GTS.

Incendiary can damage all defense layers on a character with Flamer.  Also the Acolyte isn't the only weapon in the world that you can use on GTS anyway.

 

Cryo ammo is horrible.

Of course Geth Soldier is hard. Hard as steel.
