This is a pretty challenging arena but with a little patience and the right loadout you should be set to tackle it. The key to your success is to have the right weapons to use on enemies and what helped me was an emc assault rifle and an immunizer (tried an invader like others suggested but immunizer slows enemies down for quicker kills and worked for me much better). My load out consisted of using Overcharge because of its extra boost of damage to deal with the stronger enemies, all the middle perks that raised your resistance, the perk that recharges your power when you damage enemies and the one perk that recharges your self revive faster for safety reasons. I used the immunizer on the first round to get the multiplier up on the drones and then proceeded to wipe out the dark matter with my assault rifle. The immunizer slows down enemies and the particular one I have has a 14.0 recharge rate making it superior to the Invader to infect quickly as well as slowing down all enemies AS WELL AS THE GOLDEN SKITTERLINGS. Get a high score for this round and you should be ok for the second round and watch out for the snipers in the second round and take them out quick to avoid an easy death. The later rounds throw monitors, bulwarks and volge at you. Maintain a high multiplier with the infector and spray and prey with your overcharge power with the assault rifle and get at least to 4000 points by round 5. If you never went down or only revived a few times, it should reward you with the bonus 2000 points to get through the hardest arena and net your gold medal. Keep trying this or switch it up with an invader if you feel comfortable with it but these strategies helped me beat it and I hope it helps you out to get your achievement too.

EDIT: To please others, here is my loadout I used:

Primary Weapon: EMC Assault Rifle
Secondary Weapon: Immunizer
EGO Power: Overcharge
Thicked Skin
Overload
Cellular Armor
Fortitude
Self-Medicated
Killing Machine
Bloodlust
Detachment
Killing Spree

NOTE: It has been mention to me apparently: It needs to be mentioned that the DLC is not required to obtain this chiev! Only the host is required to have it.

hank you RapidColt713492 for bringing that up.

I find it interesting that Apocalypse Kane has posted basically the same solution for all the arenas and yet the only one he gets MULTIPLE down votes for is the one that Sneaky G had also done a solution on. I think we know who is using friends/alternate accounts to down vote others.

The only person who is an embarrassment to the community here is you Sneaky G, going on other peoples guides and insulting them, threatening to pull your own stuff off the site - grow up. If someone else's guide needs some fine tuning then help them out, don't go on there and start flinging insults and accusations.

P.S What is a "baldy" written guide? Ha ha, talk about pot calling the kettle black with a blatant typo in your perceived insult.

+1 from me for both this guide and the other one. And I don't know either of these guys, but I do know good manners.

At least there are some good people on here that actually want to support our solutions instead of bashing us for "copying and pasting from my solution-Sneaky G!" This site is dedicated to achievements and posting solutions for said achievements. I am happy to help the community here and on xbox360achevements.org however I can on any game that I can to show how I got any and all the achievements on my tag. I will continue to give my opinion on how these achievements were completed on MY end; not blatantly copying another persons own solution. As far as I'm concerned, my solution works Sneaky. it's different than yours and is my own unique way to beat these arenas that are troubling others. You have all the achievements and so do I so lets just end this feud and be civilized to the point of helping others get through each of the arenas since they are all different than each other; not just assume everyone will like our builds. I bid you good day and will continue to help out in anyway I can. PS; 90% of the people on the Defiance forums use Overcharge over Decoy to beat these but it's PERSONAL PREFERENCE and they are both good abilities. Deal with it.

Repeated material, you could write this guide from the others without even playing the game.

This was my perspective on an achievement that helped me get through it. You used decoy and an invader and I had my own succeed doing what I did. Instead of criticizing others for their successful solutions, try some reading comprehension first. Thanks!

By Burburnator88 on 25 Aug 2013 13:13

Also, Sneaky G Wizard, focus on your own crappy solution. This worked for me so get over it you pushover.

By Burburnator88 on 05 Sep 2013 00:41

Your baldy written (mostly copied) guide has 2 positive votes and 4 negatives... Your guide is crappy and the community have voted it that way. Getting somebody to vote negatively on mine because you were jealous is about a pathetic as you can get; so I removed mine (which had 12 positive votes). Suits me though, preserves the decent ratio for the achievement. You're an idiot, you add nothing to the community and i'm embarrassed for you.

By Sneaky G Wizard on 15 Sep 2013 23:22

Oh and begging your mates to plus vote on your solution doesn't count you know

By Sneaky G Wizard on 15 Sep 2013 23:26

Lol, keep trolling. As far as I'm concerned, all the downvotes were from you and your multiple accounts on here. Please refrain from cluttering up these solutions with your ego and embrace my solution as one of the ways to help people get this achievement done. I'm not going to argue with you anymore so as far as I'm concerned you can have fun downvoting other people because you think your solution is the superior one haha.

By Burburnator88 on 15 Sep 2013 23:30

To add to this, I've been playing this game since the beta was released. I know the ins and outs of the game. I don't want to or have to copy another person's solution because they deserve that credit for figuring out their own solution and I'll speak out to improve upon their solution without demeaning them in the process. I wouldn't want someone to copy my guide word per word but sometimes it happens. I'm only here to help out and just help the community in any way I can to 1200 this game since I have put months into the fun that is this game. if downvoters are rampant, let them downvote; it won't stop me from voicing my help to anyone :)

Follow the advice given by Burburnator88 with the right settings you should not have much difficulty. Here a series of video of the friends XGC Drako6187 and Legionär Sachse. It's helped me a lot, especially in the 4th and 5th arena.

The 2,000 life bonus given to you at the end of the arena if you do not use a revive will come in absolutely clutch here only forcing you to score 4,000 points through 5 rounds. In order to unlock the gold medal you need 6,000 points so ultimately this should be kept in the back of your mind as you trudge through this final arena.

Prep:
This final arena ironically is not the toughest, but it can pose problems if you find yourself falling short of the 6,000 needed to grab the gold. I yet again stuck with the invader class infector so the simple reason that there is nothing that can replace the sheer power of 10 bugs on the ground at one time. As my backup I did change things up and ran with EMC Assault Rifle to assist me on some of the Volge, but it was truly a backup as I only used it for about 15% of the arena, and mostly in round 5 as I was close to 4,000 points. At this point you want to seriously consider using decoy as your ability if you had trouble on the previous arenas. The enemies are ruthless and will come nonstop, so if you feel a bit worried, definitely grab decoy although I once again used overcharge.

Rounds:
The difficulty kicks up in no time in this final arena going from a fairly easy experience in round 1 to a difficult challenge in 2 to Defiance fun in 3-5. The best thing to do is to stick to the top as much as you can using the middle of the map as both a tool to link kills as well as an avenue for escape. Early on you won't find yourself ducking out of combat much, but by round 4 with Volge pouring in, you will be ducking in-and-out of cover often to protect yourself. Just remember to use the Dark Matter forces as the linking units between your attacks on the Volge units. Doing so will make your kills on Volge units much more efficient and worth wild.
