Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Just got killed by a Seraph... while on the landing bad...

Seems a bit BS-ee for me. I mean really? Two hits from something that shouldn't even be engaging me to begin with, and I'm dead?

Argh...

#1 Legendary ODST Firefight Highscore

[UNINTELLIGIBLE > INSUBORDINATION(?)]

I hope I finish LNoS before the guise is finished so I can be on the list of completers before the giude is complete. But with this PoA race going, my top ten placement will be put in jeopardy. I'd still be satisfied with 9th or 10th though

I currently have only watched Darks. He used the Holo to distract and assassinated them. Seemed insanely risky.

Definitely watch Mine or Michael's then. I think Michael uses a similar strategy to me. I certainly didn't feel like trying to assassinate those guys, and my way felt quite safe.

Will do man. Did you do a faster style run or slow and steady? I'm looking more for slow and steady because it is more consistent in my experiences. :P

Just saw from looking over my saved threads that the reach Mythic thread's now surpassed the ODST Mythic thread in post count. Where the ODST one was 1746 replies the Reach one is now 1758 replies. Good to see that the overall interest in Mythic seems to have been bumped up or maybe we just chat too much :p

Regardless gratz everyone

I actually formulated something quite useful for the comms room this evening... a way to kill at LEAST four of the Elites without putting yourself at risk.

While my PoA time is the second shortest, I'm far from really rushing anything.

So, 2 of those are the ones that jump up, I wonder how you got the next two... :/

MYTHIC NEWS:

While I wouldn't exactly say I "broke" the comm room, I did manage to find a way to make it infinitely easier and far less dangerous. Here's a hint, you can bring a full rocket launcher there :-)

I did wonder about the RLs the troopers have. Seemed like a lot of effort to secure one with sufficient ammo though :/

So, I'm guessing: Sword + RL + sprint. Slice the two that come up, drop down onto the beam, rocket the two ones on the consoles, then... wait for the troopers bring one of the last two down onto the ground floor and rocket away. Retreat behind plasma rifle box, hope the last one/two comes at you, rocket or sword as appropriate.

I didn't really use the PP I brought along, so it would make sense to bring something with a bit more oomphf instead.

Speaking of which: sometimes the troopers that get dropped off by the pelican have a sniper rifle, how effective is one of those against against a ranger on mythic?

Two shots = dead Ranger :-)

What I've been doing is swording the two that wander up, then jumping down and rocketing the two on the console, then chilling on the beam until the survivors come to me.

I have indeed thought about bringing a full sniper as well which would make the hangar battle easier, but here's the catch...

Securing the rockets isn't really difficult at all. It just takes time. For me, it was easier to get 8 rockets than to get 28 sniper rounds. But of course, if you have the patience, it's certainly possible to bring both a full RL and SR with you. Once you're done with the comms room, you can drop the RL (which will despawn) and pick up a Needle Rifle. Then you can use the sniper on the rangers and the needle rifle on the rest. This of course includes the two focus Elites. Again, though, it all depends on how long you're willing to wait to get full ammo on both. Like I said, it isn't difficult. It just takes time.

In time vs difficulty situations time should always win IMO. If you can make it easier at the expense of time than it's a damn good trade off.

Now if only there was a way to reduce randomness; today I just got past the convention centre area in Exodus. So I'm making my way to the ODSTs (still in triage, I haven't stepped outside just yet) when a perfectly aimed Banshee bomb comes out of nowhere and ends it all.
I've never even seen those Banshees fire before.

Thanks for the grats! It feels... wonderful. :)

First time I cleared the Landing Pad and I beat it. Only had a little bit of trouble with the zealots and field marshall (ran out of plasma pistol, actually. Had to finish off the field marshall's shields with the DMR!) and the Mass Driver was a breeze. Never even practiced it before. :P

Oh and @MATCLAN:

A few reasons.

First off, if you drop it, you're boned. It'll despawn. So basically, you'll be using the sniper to take out the non-comm rangers instead of the PP + Needle Rifle. You'll also need to use it to take out the second Ranger that emerges unless you plan on winning two melee fights in a row (which can be a bit of a strain without a sword). And you'll need the extra ammo for error (not everyone is a crackshot and can't nail them the first time everytime). Additionally, you won't really know how many shots you have until you can't pick up more ammo. In short, would you rather be safe or sorry?

*My two cents*

Hmm. Well, I was wondering what a Sword+sniper combo would be like. Sword for easy kills on the first two, then drop down and snipe the rest of the bastards.

After killing the first rushing elite, you could dump both and take PP+needle rifle. Or perhaps, you could rush into the hanger with a NR as backup and snipe the Focus Rifle Rangers straight away.

Hmm, must try this out...
