Ps3 players, has anybody run into Rudolf2347? Cuz i'm playing a match with him/her/it at the moment. Here's the kicker, Rudolf just. Won't. Die!!
Stabbed by the banshee, shot by the Atlus, run over by a brute. Rudolf is just standing there running around without actually killing anything.
Platinum difficulty. Wave 8. Is there some hidden challenge going on that I don't know about?

So new multiplayer weekend thing.
Operation Patriot
Squad Goal: Extraction on any difficulty with all squad members as the same non-human race. Requires 2 or more players in squad.
Allied Goal: Kill 600,000 Atlas Mechs on any map at any difficulty.
Special Circumstances: Escort Drones travel speed reduced.
Squad Goal Success: All squad members awarded a Commendation Pack.
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack.
I think the squad goal is kinda dumb... seeing as you need to be the same race as everyone in the squad. What if you havent unlocked quarians? or geth?

I mostly have basic stuff. In classes, I don't recall specifics at the moment, but I have most of the soldiers and a fair bit of sentinals. I only have basic human and male Quarian engineers, and the rest of the classes I have a few of each. I did recently get the N7 Shadow and I wouldn't mind some tips for her. Otherwise, any tips or builds would be appreciated.Thank you.
The Shadow can be a hilarious class. Squishy as hell no matter what you do though.
In general there are two 'builds' popular for her. Shadow Strike and Electric Slash. The first focuses on maxing out melee and power damage bonuses (excepting the last evolution of the Sword Mastery tree, which doesn't effect Shadow Strike) specing tactical cloak for duration and bonus power, and then teleporting around the map chopping things in half.
The second basically does the same thing, only using electric slash instead of shadow strike, and abusing the way it goes through walls to kill things around corners and detonate tech bursts set up by your buddies.
Either one works best with low weight weaponry.

Slayer's phase disruptor is very good at staggering and one of the few abilities that will wreck Phantoms on harder difficulties. The main trick is to avoid targeting them and hit the ground near them instead so they don't activate their anti-biotic field.
It can also be used to save the life of a comrade about to be sync-killed by an unshielded Banshee/Praetorian. Not too sure if it'll work against the Brute kill since I've never actually seen the animation for it despite being killed by it once. Same deal with Scions but I've never even seen theirs.

New Classes added today, they basically completed the Avengers line up that started with The N7 Destroyer and Paladin.
Adept = Awakened Collector (apparently Leviathan freed some of them from Reaper control, Javik moveset)
Infiltrator = Alliance Infiltration Unit (EVA/EDI, fast as hell, great with shotguns, can self-rez)
Soldier = Geth Destroyer (It's heavy melee is like a force choke that works on everything and stuns Banshees/Phantoms, it has the most shields period, can't take cover, but can drop a shield that absorbs 3000+ damage and can electrocute enemies. It also has the Geth Prime cannon of doom)
Engineer = Talon Mercenary. (Their melee is an Omni-Bow, powers are laser trip mines and concussion/armor piercing bow shots, Basically Hawkeye, the class. The trip mines are strong enough to vaporize a full health Dragoon on silver)
Sentinel = Krogan Warlord (They have a hammer. Their powers empower it. Essentially Thor the class)
Vanguard = Female Turian (They use poison and their 'charge' is a dash that goes through just about everything and can get you aruond the map quick. She's hard to use properly.
New weapon mods = Ultralight Materials for Sniper Rifles and Assault Rifles, Mod for pistols and submachine guns that increases power damage
New weapons
Pistol = Blood Pack Executioner a 1 shot per clip armor piercing pistol.
M=11 Suppressor, a Silenced pistol a pistol that doesn't draw aggro
Submachine Gun = Bloodpack Punisher. It periodically fires an armor piercing round.
Shotgun = Venom Shotgun
Rifle = Adus Anti-Synthetic Rifle, essentially a Saber made for synthetics.
Geth Spitfire, M7 Lancer
New Gear Kits
Batarian Gauntlet = Changes your Heavy Melee into something new
Geth Scanners = Lets you see enemies through walls.
No new maps. The Geth Juggernaut is extremely overpowered. Downsides are that he can't take cover and walks really slow, though he doesn't need to take cover since he can provide his own. His shield ability also scales with the health/shield upgrade tree. The Alliance Infiltrator is basically Geth Infiltrator only with more speed, great melee, and self-rez. The Talon Mercenary's crossbow is... iffy. Doesn't seem to do as much damage even with the power modifications but his trip mines are excellent.

I'm wondering... can Banshees and Phantoms even sync-kill Juggernauts? It'd make sense if they couldn't but I've idled in front of Atlas's and Praetorians and not been lifted as well. Its something I'd expect from Brutes and Scions since they rarely do their kill but it hasn't happened to me at all today and i've been up in their faces laughing/force choking them. Only time a Phantom got me was as the Turian female.
Edit: Which reminds me. The overpowered thing about Juggernaut Heavy Melee is that it not only stuns smaller enemies, but it converts their lost life into shields. It took multiple (3-4) Ravagers on Gold to down me while I had an army of things to Heavy Melee for life. It wouldn't have happened at all if my shield power's duration didn't run out.
