After the 335 update, a 335 Sleeper can stagger Oryx on HM which made it possible for a hard mode kill.
There's 2 primary strats being used for this, one was the double Fusion Grenade much like the normal version. I used the Firebolt/Sleeper shot which makes it a bit easier to group the Ogres for the 4 stack.
The primary difference from normal mode vs hard mode solo'ing is the speed in which you need to kill the ogres and detonate bombs. The light-eater knights come out extremely fast, meaning you have a very small window to get the bombs off before the knights eat them.
The Ogres health pools also don't work as nicely as normal mode did, requiring additional Primary shots in order to get their health low enough if you're using the Fusion Grenade strategy. This means you have to stay up top and shoot all 4 Ogres to get them lower before jumping down, making timing a lot more rushed. On Normal Mode the Sniper shots were enough to get them to the right health thresholds (where a single Primary shot would kill them).
Along with the ammo nerf for special, it makes ammo management a lot more difficult than before.
Requirements for this would be:
-335 Sleeper Simulant
-333-335 Warlock
-333-335 1000 Yard Stare with Triple Tap
-Starfire Protocol Chest (for extra Special Ammo, and if you're using the Fusion Grenade Strategy especially)
-Increased Sniper Ammo Boots
-Increased Sniper Reload Speed Gloves
It was a difficult challenge, spent ~20-25 hours working on this over the least week. Definitely a big step up from normal mode.
Would also like to give a shoutout to the following players who have also been attempting this and developed a lot of different strategies to get this working:

[url=https://www.twitch.tv/cl_rke]cl_rke[/url] (who also got the very first Final Stand on Hard Mode)
[url=http://www.twitch.tv/frostbyte3]Frostbyte3[/url] (who got the second Final Stand for Hard Mode, and was the world first for normal mode)

If there are any others I apologize for missing you, these are just the people I have seen working on this!
Any questions feel free to ask. Thanks!

Edited by KayOsS882: 5/9/2016 3:10:26 PMMajority of the player have trouble doing this on normal with a team of 6 and this guy is doing it solo on hard mode. Amazing. So you used the no knights strats ;) Congrats and keep up the good work.

22 RepliesNot impressed at all lol gasby did this under leveled while you did over leveled not to mention you copied his strategy and used a warlock while he has done it with a titan and 2 manned challenge mode. You're just a typical random who wants to take credit for work of others.

How in the holy -blam!- some of you do this is beyond me. Also, I keep telling everyone Sleeper is the best heavy exotic for melting bosses you can't get close enough to with swords. Combine with Titan armamentarium for 12 shots and it's godly.
