    A Massive Kick in the fangs .

    How many solo players have done the shield fangs ????.. I think this is a big kick to the solo players ... complete all the legendary maps ?????..would not be so bad if it followed on from the maps you had already cleared ... most can NOT be done solo you need 2 players minimum ,... so again the solo players looses out...

    Thanks for nothing massive.... Same as show me the money one way to get players to spend their tokens ....but a rip of all the same...

    They CAN be done, but not readily, and not by all but most experienced and best equipped (or the sadist among us ) I have solo'd Times Square early on when classy's were first released. It took 2 1/2 hours (not exaggerating) but I did finally succeed. I was using Final Measure which was my first full set.
    I have beaten WarrenGate, even went flawless, but it was during a global event that favored the D3 build. I am not even getting close on Napalm. Amherst isn't on the list, but I did it when it came out. I would say it is arguably the easiest Legendary mission in the game. General Assembly I do well until the basement. Even though I know the rushers spawn behind me, I still can't help but get caught in the crossfire.

    Even though I solo way more than I group, I have just consigned myself that there are certain things I won't be able to do solo. Several of the incursions are like that more for physical requirements. I have ran all the content in the game, but since no one wants to try to run SS or CS over and over anymore until we get it flawless I doubt I'll ever get those commendations.

    I have been wanting to try to load up a Tac build. While it defies my sense of logic, allegedly they are among the best builds for Legendary solo. When I tried it, I was downed before my first recharge could come back up. I understand we'd need to run the purple damage to elite mods even though it lowers your overall base stats.

    Some can NOT be done solo, need 2 players minimum , to throw switches etc..i get through so far then can not go on as can only use one switch at a time.... I have all the gear sets all optimised ,all exotics etc etc , Really have nothing left to play for , but i still enjoy it now and again , have all the shields apart from this one...

    To the OP
    Fang Shield =Complete the 7 Legendary Missions ( Times square power relay , Madison field hospital , Amherst apartment , Grand central station , Napalm production site , General assembly , Warrengate power plant ) not a requirement but all can be done solo.

    You're getting mixed up with Flawless Incursion Commendation : Perfect Reign
    Complete the 4 incursions ( Dragons nest , Clear sky , Stolen signal , Falcon lost )
    Either Challenging or Heroic difficulty no player to go down or unconscious .
    I've seen youtube clips of players completing Stolen signal and Falcon lost solo.
    You're right with Dragons nest , need 2 minimum to flip switches simultaneously
    Haven't seen any1 do Clear sky solo

    Yeah, XahRith is right. Those are the Incursions. The missions required can be done physically with no issues. Actually, you can do Falcon Lost solo too if you play it right.

    Isn't this a multiplayer game as far as I remember?
    It is not the games problem if you are solo.

    No it is not the games fault, it is massives fault , Not everyone plays in groups, not everyone has big list of friends to play with, and trying with randoms is more of a pain than trying it solo...All masive needed to do is let legendary scale with world tiers for solo players..or even give the solo player the weapon power to complete them..This is the worst idea for a shield out of all of them..
    And to be honest it was advertised as solo / multi..

    I play solo and in a regular group. I am not a Legendary player by any stretch. I prefer DZ and Survival. Given all of this, I did complete the Shield. A few I did with some of my friends that do Legendaries, but I also did a few with randos. It is possible. Matchmake and get them done.

    The legendarys can be done as a single-player. But for that specific shield, you don't have to. Just go matchmake and finish them, it's no big deal.
