 The Geth Infiltrator can currently do the highest sniper damage in the whole multiplayer with a single shot .
Combined with the hunter mode bonus and the extra Geth weapon damage bonus, the Geth Infiltrator can do the highest damage possible with the Javelin. 

Right now, I can take down a Prime in Gold in 2 shots. Atlas in Gold 3-4 Shots on the canopy.

I have the extended barrel mod and the armour peircing mod.

The new hunter mode makes shooting thorugh walls even easier!!

So based on the calculations, this build is pretty friggin deadly. Now as Cyone mentioned, shield gating on Gold will make this not nearly as impressive, but you'll still be able to take down the bigger badies in no time. So here's what I got, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

My GI build is 6/0/6/6/6, taking every weapon damage increase I could get my grubby geth hands on.From the Networked AI tree I end up with a 22.5% weapon damage increase, and a 10% Geth Weapon damage increase. From the Hunter mode I get a 25% weapon damage increase. From the tactical cloak I get a 90% weapon damage increase when firing from cloak, plus a 40% dynamic increase to sniper rifle damage. 

I'll be calculating both body shots and headshots (2.5x multiplier), and with the Networked AI I also get a 20% weapon damage increase on headshots. These calculations are for an unmodded Javelin I. You can easily calculate damage increases with mods by putting the appropriate upgrade percent in the first set of parentheses.

Javelin I Bodyshot Damage with Cloak Bonus

1030.5 * (1.0 + 0.4) * (1.0 + 0.225 + 0.1 + 0.25 + 0.9) = 3570.7

Bodyshot without Cloak Bonus

1030.5 * (1.0 + 0.225 + 0.1 + 0.25) = 1623.0

Headshot with Cloak Bonus

[color=rgb(170, 170, 170)">1030.5 * (1.0 + 0.4) * (1.0 + 0.225 + 0.1 + 0.25 + 0.9 + 0.2) * 2.5 = ]9648.1[/color]

Headshot without Cloak Bonus

1030.5 * (1.0 + 0.225 + 0.1 + 0.25 + 0.2) * 2.5 = 4572.8

All the calculations above are Javelin 1, imagene a Javelin X! 
If you're wondering what your Javelin X can dish out, just plug in 1288.1 in place of the 1030.5 at the beginning of the equation. 

Man I love this game.


Update 4/26: I can now take down a Brute in Gold in 1 shot!
Geth Infiltrator: Javelin 6, with Armour piercing mod , extended barrel mod, Incendiary rounds, Targeting VI III, Sniper Rifle Rail Amp III.
Shoot the brute on the head, easiest when he stands up and roars, and you shoot him in the mouth.
Banshees take 4-5 shots to the head... they are really tough enemies

[eldrjth]

you have very little shield. in a good team with someone taking fire from you, you can clear mobs FAST. imagine a valiant with 15% extra firing rate, 25% more dmg, with cloak on 20% reduced cooldown. dont know if its kills faster than the salarian though.

[Fortack]

But you still need two shots to kill anything with shield/barrier. DPS ain't everything on Gold.

[7thD3adlyS1n]

The Hunter's Vision's fire rate, accuracy, and damage bonus are also AMAZING with the Black Widow.

I'm pretty positive I can get off two BW cloaked far more consistently as well. The Javelin is very nice, especially with on Silver, however a BW seems to be more viable at least with only a level one of each on Gold.

Shield gate simply just hurts the Javelin at its lower levels.

And just in terms of powers, I prefer to ignore proxy mine on most builds and focus on full shields. Full shields helps with the 50% debuff from  HV a tad mroe, giving you a around 600ish shield when debuffed, much nicer feeling than with only 300 if not spec'd into shields.

Not true, if your dmg is higher then the shield + hp then oneshot

He said on Gold. On Gold there is a "shield-gate" mechanic, meaning shield will aborb 100% of damage no matter how much they have left. Shotguns can bypass this with their multiple pellets, with the exception to the Crusader which fires a single slug.

[Wang Lightning]

It's definitely pretty impressive. The new geth classes have limited usefulness, but I agree that a cloaked javelin shot with hunter mode active is some insane burst damage.

Phantoms cease to be an issue at all. You can see through their stealth and 1-shot them from across the level, right through a damn wall.

It's extremely balanced though, strangely enough, because you don't really get much else in terms of utility. I personally prefer using my Plasma shotgun. It's not as dramatic, but hey, it works.

Not on gold. On Gold even when the target only has 1 Shield left it is impossible to hurt its health with one shot. (Excluding weapons that fire multiple projectiles per hit like shotguns).

Even if the weapon would do 1 million damage per hit you still couldn't oneshot a shielded target on gold.

Not on Gold. When an enemy with one shield block gets hit by a weapon that inflicts 100 mln damage the target will only lose that one shield block. The only exception are shotguns (that fire multiple pellets), each projectile makes its own damage call so you can one-shot on Gold. All sniper rifles fire a single slug therefore two shots are required to take down enemies with multiple bars.

That's what I do. I can't speak to how quickly it kills compared to the salarian infiltrator with a sniper rifle (I play SI as CQC), but I can say GI with the valiant does quite well. Another entertaining option is -- ironically enough -- the raptor. It works better than you'd think in the hands of a geth, though I'd make sure someone else is in the match who can deal with armored targets before making that choice.

Or maybe playing the Infiltrator like a Hunter: Equipping a Shotgun ( or a Talon) if the 25% accuracy bonus allows you to set off headshots from a distance (so far I only tested this with a Turian with 60% accuracy and an Eviscerator who can manage to do this pretty well but does not have Cloak to take the time to line up a headshot). A full hit on the head should do more than 4500 damage. A Talon might be really interesting here.

BTW, if the Geth weapon bonus does not effect Geth base weapon damage but is only added to all the other weapon modifiers, it's pretty useless imho (effective damage bonus of 3.5% or less if you add usables).

[cuzIMgood]

Does the Javelin count as a "geth weapon" for the bonus damage?

[dezy]

you can stack armor piercing and penetration and shoot stuff through walls/floors/etc. survivability won't be a problem that way. shield gating isn't an issue if you use black widow or valiant and can actually snipe.

played a match with SIs earlier (black widow and javelin) and nearly doubled the 2nd score. it's probably the best pure sniping character because of the increased mobility and awareness.

Geth do not intentionally out DPS other classes.

Sorry, needed to be said.

 Why the armor piercing mod on the Javelin, doesn`t it actually reduce its penetration if used

Those are some pretty wicked paint jobs.

Geth Infiltrator is indeed a high-damage dealer, but very frail. Fun, nonetheless.

I prefer to use the Raptor. The bonuses to rate of fire and accuracy are wasted on a single shot weapon, especially on gold. If you're picking off enemies with the Javelin, you may feel goodbut you're doing very little to help your team. With the Raptor, I can take on multiple enemies & spam a Rank 6 Proxy Mine to deal high damage to mobs and bebuff every single one, constantly.


You're kinda wasting the potential with a single shot weapon. You may have very high DPS but that's to one target (plus the shield gate). With the Raptor, I can do constant high DPS to multiple enemies.

[Icophesis]

I have the Geth Engineer and have been using him as a pseudo sniper in the mean time while I wait to unlock the Infiltrator, and have tried a variety of snipers out. Didn't use the Black Widow yet because I usually dominate a little too much with that one, and I was playing with friends and didn't want to be rude. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the Viper, it was similar to using it with the Turian Soldier, except the rate of fire was slightly slower, but always on and more damaging. I was cleaning up mobs left and right with it on Silver.

This.

[ZeroDivision]

Two-shotting Primes and four-shotting Atlases with a Javelin on Gold is entirely too fun. The Geth classes are entirely too fun.

Might I add that a Geth Engineer with a full-healing turred and a Asari Justicar with a full-defensive sphere make your team neigh-immortal?

With a Salarian Infiltrator Specced with ED, AP ammo III, Widow X with Extended Barrel and Piercing mod I can down an Atlas in 4 Canopy shots.

It's still slower than the BW in terms of DPS.

Geth Infiltrator is an excellent class though.

The Justicar just stands in the open, reaving and blasting stuff, you shall not pass style, I love it. Three blasts from a prime can't take down her barrier...
