Description

This is a challenge run where I start new save file right away on inferno with 0 gear. I am playing on online for extra challenge and for possibly tackling the online exclusive missions later if I am able to even make that far.

Concerning drops the game drops you weapon levels above 27 on first mission, I always try my best to go over my inventory before starting the missions and you'll see the drop range makes sense on the missions I'm playing on.

M1-97 I cleared on inferno online alone without ever lowering the difficulty with exception of M37 and M40 but I found appropriate low level gear setups to still end up beating those anyway, however M88 remains to be unbeaten on inferno so it is a big hurdle in this run so far.

M88 I have cleared on hardest but unable to clear on Inferno as of this video.
My reasoning for not being able to clear it is because is not because of skill issue but rather gear wise I lack certain gear to make it easier on myself and that stage itself is one of hardest in the entire game.

I've had these rules in the past when I started the challenge run.
1. Start on Inferno on new save file.
2. Never grind a stage.
3. Play it alone in online.
4. If stuck on a stage in inferno, I am allowed to play 1 difficulty lower than inferno which is basically hardest to progress. Then continue onwards on inferno in next stage.

Mission 97 is basically an easier version of Bloody Battle IMO, in this mission you get incredible backup from NPC. While you start off with a lot of Rangers, there is no big importance to keeping them alive as more NPC spawn in later waves and those NPC are very good unlike in Bloody Battle.

The Backup NPC spawned in middle of mission is a very tanky Barga, huge squad of both Fencers and wing divers, and finally Sarge is with them. These NPC can buy you very good distraction to being able to take out tadpole dropships as those can be what causes this mission to difficult if left alive.

I made a mistake on this stage with Wing Divers being alive as they killed last npc and I forgot the enemies were almost dead, so in next mission I will allow myself to spawn camp one of teleporters to make up what I think I lost in drops here as I am closing in on some pretty difficult missions coming up ahead.
