I got my sentry guns. I made it solo to the 11th hive. I was going strong until I derped off of the cliff while setting a sentry gun.

Yup. Fail mode activated.

I can't say I could ever see myself playing Extinction solo. Having a team with different skill sets really makes the difference. Not to mention how limited you are with drops. I would definitely be making errors like these on a regular basis. Which is why I'll stick to Co Op. Also was it that damn rhino that knocked you off, or did you just walk right over the edge?

Solo is actually a lot more bearable if you're running two Sentries at once. That's why I always go for them first, even in co-op.

 

Anyway, damn, sorry to hear that man. I can only imagine how frustrating that could be.

I remember doing solo mission, my heart was racing in the end.

 

I think my class was something with medic sentry grenade vulture ... Definitely one of the hard things to do..

I never really played much solo, but hearing the issues a lot of people have, it boggles the mind even more when you know Mato did it with all 5 relics in solo with a beast score.

 

Even those that 'only' did it with 4, brafuckingvo.

I just stepped off of the cliff while trying to set down a sentry gun. I laughed it off, it was still my best solo game. I had just unlocked sg and maxed that out before anything else. Two sentries ftw. I'm just starting to enjoy this mode. I'm very obsessive (mostly harmless), and was obsessing on the online mp and bot games as i just got this 12.27.2013. So now I'm learning Extinction. If you solo, it is hard and you must do everything yourself. If you can meet that challenge, co-op is a breeze. I learn/get better this way.

For solo, max them sentries first, try to make each challenge in the first area to do so. Then you hide behind them. No armor, not much ammo needed. Just watch them and put them down to watch each other. I drop 1 point in pistol next (all that is needed), then bring up my class (use weapon specialist solo for the extra damage). It gets brutal sometimes. The main thing to remember is: face and attack. Try to run and you are dead. If on your last hit point, fight still. There is no 'safe'. When crystals drop, just fire at the base and you'll kill the red guys. Rhinos, just move the sentry gun a little every time he tries to hit it.

made it to the second to last hive in point of contact solo; spent too much time hunting for stuff that the enemies come in a next wave without me setting up the drill, not ready, failed big time. never be too greedy :-)
