This requires you to rank one class up to lvl 20, your N7 rating is separate and not of consequence to this achievement.
Tactic wise it's proves most effective to roll with a diverse four-man squad, preferably with mics for communication. I mention diverse because there's not much benefit to having four soldiers and with the same skill set. You will start to cut through waves fairly quickly once you have a range of upgraded abilities working for you.
- Someone able to neutralize barriers
-Someone able to take down shields
-Someone able to penetrate armor.
Our squad consisted of mainly: Adept, Engineer, Soldier and Infiltrator
Now speaking to the missions. If you're strictly looking to rank up quickly unknown location (10% xp bonus) unknown enemy (15% xp bonus) and bronze missions are the way to go.
Once you get into the groove you can knock out 10 waves plus extraction in 15-17 mins and usually net 140k-170k in xp. Silver missions are doable with a good group and although the bring in more credits the xp rewards aren't enough of a jump to warrant spending double the time it takes to complete bronze missions. If you can roll through Gold maps...then you prob have no use for this guide and I don't really need to entertain that as an option lol.
Two big things to concentrate on are:
- Not going down! You'll get xp bonuses after completing 3 (2500 xp), 5 (5000 xp) and 10 (15,000 xp) waves consecutively if none of your squad go down at all.
- When it's time for extraction you don't all have to been in the zone during the countdown BUT ensure you're all there when the counter expires to net another 15,000 xp bonus.
All in all I spent about 7hrs working on this and once you've hit lvl 20 if you're comfortable promoting them (similar to prestiging) you can also attain Solution for Battle Scarred In Mass Effect 3
I've done Palavan, Omega dlc and Leviathan dlc and I am already level 31. I haven't even touched the main game really and still have From Ashes and Citadel dlc, so I would be highly surprised if I didn't hit level 60 by the end of my first playthough! Should put me in good stead for an Insanity playthru with a meaty character without having to worry about whether I will hit l60 or not.

SP: Level 60 is the highest level you can obtain in Mass Effect 3. Once you hit this level, you will automatically gain the achievement. If you played Mass Effect 2 and imported your character, you will start the game leveled up. You can be as high as level 30 when you start your new game, meaning you are already halfway there.
MP: You must stick to one character and focus on leveling it up. It doesn't matter if you win or lose the matches, you will still gain experience. This is probably the faster option of the two to unlock this achievement.
Single player: If you imported a save from Mass Effect 2, then you will get this pretty easily in your first playthrough since you will start at whatever level you left off at (ie. If you ranked up to level 30, then you’ll start at level 30). I ended up at level 57 after my first playthrough. It took me a few more hours in New Game+ after importing my character to reach level 60.
If you don’t have an ME2 save, then you’ll be starting from level 1 and your path will be much longer. You made need two or three full playthroughs to reach level 60.
Multiplayer: Online co-op is the quickest route to this trophy. You will need 2.5 million experience points to reach level 20 in multiplayer. Each round takes roughly 20-30 minutes. On the bronze rounds that I completed, I averaged around 100,000 XP per round. On silver, it was over 200,000 XP. It took around 10-12 hours of playing online to reach level 20 and most of that was done on the way to getting Defender. Below is the list of XP requirements to rank up in multiplayer.
- Level 1 - Starting Point
- Level 2 - +12.5k
- Level 3 - +25k
- Level 4 - +25k
- Level 5 - +37.5k
- Level 6 - +50k
- Level 7 - +50k
- Level 8 - +50k
- Level 9 - +62.5k
- Level 10 - +62.5k
- Level 11 - +62.5k
- Level 12 - +62.5k
- Level 13 - +125k
- Level 14 - +125k
- Level 15 - +125k
- Level 16 - +125k
- Level 17 - +250k
- Level 18 - +250k
- Level 19 - +500k
- Level 20 - +500k
And so, everyone decides in their own way.
