So after a few HoE fails in pub games I decided to try to solo HoE maps. I just finished my 1st game on West london. I managed to reach wave 10 without much difficulties as a lvl6 berserker. The 3rd FP owned in me 10th wave due to my fault. I used LAR/Katana/Axe till wave 9 then decided to try Katana/Xbow/Pipe. Pipes insta killed FPs (well once not due to late explosion) so they weren't much of a challange. I kept going in a circle slowly killing the whole wave (was around 35 min when I reached wave 10). Anyway I wonder how to solo the Patriarch on HoE and I'd love to hear any other tips you have on the HoE solo matter (and lets keep it to solo discussion I know it might be easier to find a professional group and do HoE with them but I'd love to accomplish this feat to solo the Patriarch on HoE)

AA12. Any number of players, all use aa12 is the way to make boss fight cake. Add in 1-2 pipes at each entrance to make sure you know where he is coming from.

I feel your pain regarding HoE pubs. I've decided to take your advice and do some solo-play.

Thanks for the tips.

For me, the best way was:

(Level 6) Berserker all the waves, except on Patty

For Patty, go (Level 6) Support, get AA12, Hunting Shotgun and Pipebombs. Be sure you have time left when you place the bombs. The best place to fight him is in a rather small place where, when he sees you, will try to rush you in melee rather than shoot with his rockets/chaingun at you. Try to put 1 bomb (or 2 if you have time/money) in each entrance he may come from, but preferably just around corners / in the midst of the entrance, so if they explode, they won't hurt you.
As soon as you hear him trigger a bomb around a corner/entrance, run/aim to that place, spam AA12 and when your mag runs out, HS doubleblast him!

Works like a charm for me :)

HoE: Play Berserker until wave 10 or take Support (my favorite). For Patty I like using Commando with SCAR and Bullpup. Also in a six-men-game. Because the Commando can see him and you can follow him if he want's to heal. Bullpup is a nice option (don't like the AK) if you run out of ammo (or you have to reload and Patty is next to you).

Another option one-two Firebugs for Patty, at first shoot him with the MAC-10 (until empty mag) and then with the flamethrower. Advantage: You will see him when he's running away.

2-3 pipes kill him with demo lv6 then use it. Go to a close place and place them intelligently and you will win.
