Daily Hive: Last Stand

Did something similar to this for my final run. Couldn’t avoid the first mulcher, but thankfully there was only one. Used the ult to kill him but didn’t wait to recharge it before entering saferoom. Charged ult after saferoom. Didn’t seem to cause any problems. Ran into first encounter and used it again then. No bleed. Then continued running to the end and nothing else spawned. A few juvies made it to me as door was shutting and I killed them with frags and Claw. It seems pretty repeatable, but the only tricky part is first act and timing the ult incase of getting sandwiched by a spare drone from behind and a mulcher in front, or heaven forbid more than one mulcher! When hearing enemies creeping up from behind it’s hard to be calm and precise with the salvo rather than just clearing the way of everything in sight and making a run for it.

Its all fun and games until ‘Venom Run’ shows up as the daily hive one day.

Already did. Kait can solo that one now.

Try doing it with randoms. Many the players don’t even know about the map layout, and end up running into dead ends. Some don’t even pick up the flashbangs, as they don’t understand what is it used for.

Brawler, Infiltrator, Blademaster and Nomad can easily solo this hive.

I like using Nomad on this hive. Satisfying to use.
Just execute an enemy, fear affects the enemies on the vicinity.
Not only that, you get stim for every execution too. This allows you to stay in venom even longer and there’s no need to collect stim packs in the saferoom.

Also, your ultimate recharges really fast, so whenever there is a scion in front, just activate your ultimate.

Don’t forget about Gunner :slight_smile:

Gaining stim is a problem though, which won’t allow you to survive in the venom for long.
Also gunner has no cards which have venom affinity.

I believe it’s possible to solo this map with almost all characters. Even Cog Gear.

Am I right @TurnerBurner922?

Wow… this is great.

Did the Gunner’s ultimate always recharge that quickly? I never seemed to notice this.

Also, nice throw of flashbang at the end as the doors were closing, that was smart!

Its doable, but it would be tough. It requires precise throwing of flashbangs to stun the scions. Also, you might need to collect stim from saferooms.

I am just satisfied with using nomad, I prefer this class for this hive. But thanks to you, I will try using Gunner too

The key card is Solo Survivor.
Using this one card you can solo Last Stand as Gunner. No other cards needed.
As for venom run, if you play smart, everything is possible :slight_smile:

Right, forgot about that. Its a solo run so it makes sense.

Yes, I know Cog gear can definitely solo Venom run. I know I have to get back to that one.

The characters that have done venom run all have had some form of high health.

Paduk, Kait, lahni, Cole, Clayton. Mac.

I think that’s the key.

I might be forgetting one but ultimately if you do it with the weaker characters health-wise, you’ll need to be luckier with RNG and luckier in general.lol.

Bait Armor basically doubles as venom resistance

Lizzie’s Rear Armor also doubles as venom resistance.

Ahh, you guys made me think Venom Run was the daily. Setup my Infiltrator for a solo run attempt. Turns out it was only Descent.

Lol sorry, but nothing stops you to try and solo this map. Especially since there is no more Ironman.
Make sure you get a spawn with rejects first and you will make it. Good luck!

Leaderboards still don’t work on this hive TC!

What do you mean?

Leaderboards still don’t work on this hive. They don’t update with better times achieved.

The bug you’re referring to isn’t just specific to Last Stand.

I score ran this map with @xSMUDGE_BATx and @TurnerBurner922 and while my score and Smudge’s score were recorded, Turner’s score didn’t record.

The same thing happened to him on The Trap.

I know, I’ve had this problem on The Line too for example. Had a -48 solo master run with Marksman that never uploaded to the leaderboards.
