This was pretty much all I needed to hear. ;)

The problem here is simple..the volge are a considerable upgrade in power from the simple raiders and hellbugs the op was used to and got owned...
use strategy next time.
nothing to see here carry on...
But, but... Soloing a minor arkbreak is easy. The interior is a little complicated but still if easy, given you know the mechanics and are prepared for what awaits. The first few times will be painful and you might not want to farm minors after then. However, if you stick with it, you can learn to avoid the ones that hurt and set up your ego skill to match play style for the minors (I prefer to use blur then) and you'll die a lot less with practice and the right setup for soloing a minor arkbreak.
However, it goes much faster with at least 1 or 2 other people. And no I'm not mentioning how many times I died the first few times, though I could have brought a Racer Duni in the game with amount of scrip lost. lol
Now, you die like 3 maybe 5 times on the bomber ones... On the viscera ones, oh... well... learn to use cluster drop and blur and you might survive but the viscera one you don't die as much on, but you need to learn to take out all the drones and to use cluster drop while running on the visceras to make sure you survive if their still a lot of drones and/or troopers around. But other than that... its like not easy or hard to do the viscera ones solo in my opinion.
"logged into defiance on my ps3 today" explains it all.
Not raging on the PS3 at all but it has been the worst platform for this game by a very long stretch.
Not to worry though, every live stream they let you know they are working on "stability issues" so you got that going for you.
Imagine if the poor schmuck ran into them months ago before the Volge (as a whole) were nerfed like 4 times. He would have ran away screaming and still be running.
I am not a great player, but even I think they have nerfed the enemy and buffed some of the guns too much! Most of it has gotten way to easy and can get boring fast because of it. Yes the Volg can still be hard, when soloing, but they are the only hard enemy. All the rest could use a buff.
Atticus, you missed the memo? they never nerfed any of the enemies, or so they say, it was clearly because they added scaling based on rarity to guns... which doesn't address the mobs hitting for less and missing more often but still!
I know isn't it funny? they nerfed how our perks stack and bugged some but if I keep dodging I can still take on an elite Viscera and 2 bombers by myself. I only use failsafe and occasionally Celullor armor as my defensive perks, and have both reload perks equipped on my OC build and all 3 Oc perks. SO I only have 2 - 3 offensive perks equipped and usually use my extra life ar, my extra life infector, ahurricane regenerator, and an orange flashbang, with health stims and damage spikes (I forget to use stims or spikes normally though). So either that is more op than I thought or they definitions on scaling and nerfs do not match mine!
