So, I tend to see a lot of people rushing to the end of strikes to get loot faster. Not something that bothers me tbh. But there is one specific strike that I just can't stand when people throw teamwork out the window to try to rush it. I'm talking about the Echo Chamber, the PS exclusive strike.
For those who don't know, in this strike one person has to carry a relic which slows them down and makes it harder to jump but boosts grenade and melee ability recovery. Thing is, when they are like 25 adds shooting at you, relying on that is not an option. So you rather trust your teammates so they clear the path for you, or you all clear the adds in the area so you can get the relic to its destination once all enemies are dead.
Sadly, a lot of people try to rush this strike by picking the relic and trying to push throug all the enemies in the area without waiting for their teammates to clear them, resulting in death and, more often than not, those players leaving the strike 'cause they couldn't rush it, making everything harder for those who stay.
So please people, its okay to rush other strikes, but this one is like a miniraid, you actually need your teammates for this one. Don't rush the Echo Chamber. Don't be that guy.
Edit: maybe I didn't explain my problem properly. It goes down to when someone picks the relic while enemies focus fire them and try to push throug them by running face first into a group of 20+ enemies and expect to live. If you can actually run past them without a problem, do it, but if not, wait for your teammates.

Have you ever used a Titan with increased control while carrying the relic? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-
Hunter with smoke grenade. Grenades charge super fast. Easy to run through it all, keep popping smoke and not die.
-
Have a night stalker run relic. EVERYONE STAY WITH HIM AND YOU CAN BE INVISIBLE THE WHOLE TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO KILL ANY ADS.
-
Dude it's so easy to solo relic. Titan Jump w/ Shoulder Charge is fastest, and Nightstalkers basically have permanent invisibility.
-
I ALWAYS solo the strike, because they keep Shooting The stupid adds while I go to The boss
-
Smoke grenade FTW?

Edited by bakerboy32: 10/23/2015 12:42:26 PMI have soloed the heroic version. You don't need team mates to clear the adds if you can throw grenades and do flame shield the whole way to the boss. Also people are rushing the strike cos like myself they have been grinding for a decent imago loop, and have ran it 80+ times. All I see is people racing through echo chamber when it loads.
-
No, if they or I want to rush, I don't care. What I hate is when they grab the relic and go AFK until the adds are clear and we punch them to move for 10 min.
-
I rush because I play as Nighstalker and have tons of invis smoke bombs
-
*Picks up relic and keeps making myself go invisible with Nightstalker grenades* #noproblemsnoworries

You literally wrote a multi-paragraph mini novel about absolutely nothing. Congrats
-
I find it hilarious that people rush through the strikes at all. Maybe if people actually played the strikes, they wouldn't be bitching about being low on weapon parts. I never rush through strikes and I've [b]NEVER[/b] seen someone beat the boss before I got there, so people aren't saving the time they think they are. All they are doing is losing out on engrams along the way..
-
arc hunter, invis all the way, at the boss in 5 mins. youre welcome
-
Night stalker with 2 smoke bombs and duration smoke done

Edited by Zoop: 10/23/2015 12:21:47 PMThis mission is hella easy to rush, i mostly grab the relic, and im at the end before the other 2 are (doesnt matter if its fallen/vex/taken). As a titan, i just skate through everything (you are actually faster than without relic, if you properly exploit the extra weight). If the teammates didnt keep up, theyll spawn with me we soon as i reach the boss

Edited by Queen of Sidhe: 10/23/2015 10:59:49 AMlol, that's me except I do it successfully. I take the relics and end up way ahead of the fireteam. They're busy fighting some random yellow bar while I've opened up the door to the echo chamber
-
I make myself invisible as a void hunter and run through enemies or fly by as a titan. Works every time and no one leaves.
-
When randoms try to rush me I look at them, knife them, then proceed to do nothing on for the entire strike. Especially on the boss.
-
There are various ways to just rush through mobs to get them to despawn so that you don't have to grind your way to the boss, I think that's fine. Plus having to fight through mobs of armored enemies gets dull every time you get them, so why not skip them rather than waste time and bullets that could go towards the boss?
-
Blink makes rushing with the relic ez
-
Hunter. Pick up relic. Invisibility on tap yo. Rush to end. Slow/dead teammates get ported to boss. Finished in time for tea. Perhaps if you're not gonna rush just leave the strike? Please?
-
I've managed to do this a lot and live no problem.
-
Hunter= rush with infinite invis smoke bombs Titan= rush with titan skate Warlock=dont pick it up
-
Play Hunter, Equip Ahamkara Grasps, Equip Nightstalker, Equip Vanish In Smoke, Run past all the adds with your constant invisibility, profit.
-
I mainly do it when my team is unorganized, and repeatedly dying. I rather run through the strike, and despawn adds. It's easier then having to revive your teammates every 5 seconds.
-
Hey, when you can Titan control jump with the relic and move so fast they can't shoot you... You do it. My teammates die because they can't keep up.. I feel bad about it, but you get teleported to the boss at the end anyway.
