Apologies for the mic quality on this one, recorded the whole thing with my mic slightly too far away!

Been a while since my last solo Bot run - with the patrol spawnrates bugged so that even solo games scale as if you had a full team, a lot of players have complained about how much harder solo is now. If you take a stealthy hit-and-run approach though, the difference isn't particularly noticeable, and I managed to bash this one out first time for a surprisingly smooth run. Enjoy!

Build:

The AMR handles everything from basic troopers to Hulks and Factory Striders. That means I can bring the Eruptor purely for Fabricator vent shots, as well as the odd trooper squad kill, though its lost its effectiveness vs Scout Striders since shrapnel was removed. The Senator is my choice for more quiet kills, with a much lower sound profile than the AMR. Stun nades make those Hulk kills easier and can save you in a pinch.

For tanks and turrets, I'm bringing the 110mm Rocket Pods - particularly useful since leading targets can be tricky with the increased call-in time modifier. 500kg and Orbital Precision Strike provide some AoE give me options for destroying Factory Striders, as well as Fabricators when the vent shot isn't on, and hardened structures like Research Stations and Detector Towers.

The Trailblazer Scout armour keeps me moving fast and quiet, and this time I'm taking the Vitality Booster for that extra survivability.
