A solo queue match where I got a great Martin, Valerie, and Jill as my random teammates. This was against a Spencer who I find in recent months to be quite difficult to beat now. Aside from the last encounter with them where I played Becca ("Becca Takes Downtown By Storm," wherein we had both me and Sam as damage characters), I had been losing to them in my solo queue matches, and the fact that our team comp had no Sam, Tyrone, or Becca was making me unsure about how we would fare. We held good time for areas 1 and 2, but as we progressed, it got harder and harder, and the creatures seemed to be everywhere. We luckily were able to pick each other up as we got downed (although I might have wasted my FAS since Martin also had one), and although a detonator set us back because I didn't reach the exit in time, we were able to escape to area 3 before the MM could get us with his turret.
Area 3 started out fairly strong, as I was able to get some active cameras and even avoid what was in retrospect an obvious trap, taking out a turret with instant, but managing nevertheless to dodge the MM's D-field. But things began to go awry at the second core. Martin got isolated and downed, and I stepped on some traps I didn't know were there and got downed as well. Jill saved me, but I was unable to predict the MM's second D-field (in part because it appeared as though the camera wasn't facing me), and got downed again. Jill fortunately managed to save me again by hand, but although we had 2 cores done and the third had spawned in the corner near the exit, we had lost a significant amount of time. I rejoined the team, then worked on simply taking cameras out so the team could work unimpeded, and as I fled from the MM's onslaught of creatures, I managed to find a supply bag on the ground and open it, providing a minigun. I helped finish the core, then ended up looping around again to catch Valerie's spray, and then once again ran along the catwalk to the stairs. I saved Jill from a bite, and in return, she was able to clear our way with her rockets, and we were able to escape with barely more than a minute.
