    Late to the party, I just got the Underdome DLC. Yeah I know, it blows compared to the other DLCs, but I still want the achievements.
     
    Problem is, I play alone as a 50 Soldier, and this place is handing my ass to me. I'm playing on second playthrough, and I *barely* got through the 5 rounds of Hell-burbia, and now doing Angelic Ruins I keep getting slaughtered by the Guardian wave in the 2nd round. I'm getting worried that the later achievements are next to impossible to solo with the difficulty already this brutal. Should I just play through the DLC with a character on first playthrough, or just grind my teeth? Also, any good location for an awesome shock weapon to use against those damn Guardians?
     
    Cheers.

    If you're on consoles, go splitscreen, level 10 character to host, level 50 character for second player. Enjoy the DLC with everything at level 10.
     
    I did it at 50 with a full group and it's very long and tedious.

    @Vorbis: Thanks a lot for the tip, even if it feels like cheesing the achievement. ;)
     
    I actually went out in the world to find a good shock-based weapon to deal with those annoying Guardians, and things went a bit easier after that. Though I can't imagine playing through 20 waves of each round eventually...gah, I must be insane. I must say the absolutly worst part of the Underdome is how you get knocked back a round if you die.

    Not fun, just torturous tedium.  But if you must, split it w/a low lvl host like suggested above, or get some modded gear that makes it less redic.

    I didn't really have this problem since I played as a siren. I could just go invisible and regen health, maybe take a med kit while invisible if needed. I only died once in the first 3 domes, then my console broke, so I'll have to do it again and I'll probably do it co-op this time.
