Post your results here - we need:

• A screenshot of your character build.
  
• A screenshot of your equip screen (so we can see weapons, mods et al)
  
• A screenshot of your results screen.

We'd also love to hear about your epic encounters, or see vids, but they're optional .

Good luck, do it for your country, for humanity, for sentient life across the universe!

Photos to come if needs be, but I fell with 20 seconds to extraction (2 missiles in my pocket too, dammit) but i thought i still had a medigel left and...i didnt. 62010 points...level 0 vanguard male eg he was actually lvl 8 but I hadn't levelled any powers at all...

[Dunny]

Do you need photographic evidence if in game with other GG members to witness? (I'm looking at you Jykes)

[Axe99]

Here we go - be warned, after seeing these results, you'll give up in despair of ever topping the leaderboard, lol.  Round 3 (got a damn 'activate the four objectives' round, last one was a killer), score of 11817.   Will give it another crack sometime this week when I feel a little sharper .

[Jykel]

Yep, we need the photos Dunny   Like Axe's post above

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that this was a birds of steel thread.

EVERY thread should be a BIRDS OF STEEL thread .

Here's my attempt on 360. Forgot to take the pic of the powers screen so had to take that after the game ended. Still the same level as what I played as though. Did the equipment screen before the match though, as you can tell from the experience bar
Good luck to everyone else!

[Jykel]

Nice work Fire.  Thats gunna set an early standard   

Will be giving it a crack myself this eve hopefully.

[Axe99]

Nice one Firestrife .

Well had a go last night, made it in 18:08 with missiles to spare, before I realised I was using an illegal weapon, and was using no gear

I very nearly used the hurricane before I had another read of the rules
Barely used my weapon anyway. Pretty much just relied on biotic charge + nova. Never played the human vanguard before so it was annoying when I realized if you use nova it completely drains your barrier. Luckily if you only have an SMG, power recharge is great so you can pretty much charge a couple of seconds after a nova and chain it together.

Worst part about vanguard is doing objectives. Got devices on wave 3. Used to playing as an infiltrator on solo runs so usually it's pretty easy. Not the case with a vanguard
Luckily got hacking on the other two waves so that's quite tolerable on bronze.

[Batty]

I thought weapons were "any/all"...oh that's mods...it's common and uncommons.

With the next 5 days off I'm giving this challenge a shake.

[Jykel]

Just did my good run. Will post photos/results tomorrow.  Went lvl 1, no points in powers (1 in fitness, 1 in passives), a nice phaeston X and some good mods.  Made it with 0 rockets, 1 ops, 4 medi, 0 clips (used for bonus dmg etc).

Objectives were: defuse (1|2|3|4), then escort, defuse (1|2|3|4)  *sigh*

Time to be revealed.

[FireStrife]

Looks like I have some competition on my hands. Hopefully i'll have some time tomorrow night to do another run as a lower lv character to get more of those bonus time points!

Keeping me in suspense with the whole 'time to be revealed' thing

[harvs]

well here is my attempt please let me know if there is any problems with it









not the best but i wanted to at least take part in the event.

[Jykel]

All good harvs   welcome to submit more than one if you get keen.

If we do a future solo comp after this one, might have to rethink the bonus scoring:

Loadout:didnt need the tempest in the end



Build:  Well no powers was interesting . . .



Score/Time:




So coulda been any class, which wasnt really the intent of the challenge, but highlights a few things for next time we do a solo challenge.

Shoulda gone with armored compartments, as 3 extra missiles woulda helped.

Time coulda been faster if I didnt get 2 damn device/defuse objectives, as the second one took well over 3 mins of kiting.

If you get lucky on objectives, thats well beatable

So it looks like your corrected time is gonna be 9:12, while mine is 11:04. Gonna have to do another run I suppose

Here is my attempt had no idea what I was doing(first time online) and failed massively, died on wave 3, score was 8910. Sorry about pic quality.
