Below is a video i thought a few of you might find interesting. This is a video of me doing a gold match on a human vanguard using a psvita with remote play:

Things to know about remote play on vita and this gameplay:

• The button mapping on vita is absolutely terrible. Aim down sights, shoot and sprint are all mapped to the rear touchpad (which is very unresponsive on the vita). That's why i never do any of these things. The front touchpad (which has multiple areas that are much much more responsive) is not used sadly.
• For mobility, i am exclusively relying on jump, evade and biotic charge.
• Build i am using : https://www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/61cbzu/unkillable_melee_human_vangod_build_guide_videos/
• Main weapons are charge, nova and melee.
• Equipped guns are the katana with a melee mod and the charger with a melee mod. You only really need a gun for its melee mod though.
• Equipment is the jugernaut shield.
• My priority targets are anything but the big hydras (i leave those to my teamates mostly who are better suited to deal with them because they can shoot guns).
• I try to "tank" targets when i can in view of my teamates, so they can easily add damage with their guns and powers.

Anyway, if anyone is struggling with gold play in general or is interested to see if playing on the vita can work, maybe this video can help you a bit. If i can do this without running and without shooting, anyone can do gold with a real controller and a similar build.

I wish the vita controls were customizable or at least better designed. Destiny the game is a prime example, in which i am able to do all of the hardest pve and pvp content effectively with my vita due to a very well designed vita remote play control scheme (shoot and ADS on r1 and l1, abilities mapped to different areas of the front touchpad, sprint activated by pressing the down arrow while using the left joystick).

I play on the vita regularly because i am able to conveniently do so while other people are using the main tv.
