However, any gun you slap into the GI turns into pure, undiluted rape. I am more traditional and just use a Valiant, but even then it's so godly it feels unfair, even Banshees drop like flies. For me it's not a very compelling class because it's so god is not challenging at all.

tl;dr: you must be joking.

The Valiant is the most ridiculously overpowered gun there is. Any infiltrator with a Valiant will murder absolutely everything, hunter mode or not. The Valiant at rank I outperforms every other sniper at rank X, barring (maybe) the Black Widow. That's how good it is.

GI is being hyped and overrated because it's new, and hunter mode is kinda neat. It's a fine class, but SI is better, more rounded and robust.

tl;dr: no, I'm really not joking

You've heard of shotguns right? Just hand 'em one of those. The damage you can do with tactical cloak, hunter mode, & even something as weak as a Katana X is pretty impressive.

widow - armor piercing mod - hunter mode = no one is safe any more.

I think of prox mine as a power they just threw in there. The other abilities seem to work together while prox mine is just on the outs.

Poor, neglected power =(

But it's not! It does impressive damage, it has crowd control, it throws away guardian shields, it debuffs targets with a lot of HP for extra damage. I seriously sat down on one of those "make your custom class" threads and thought about GI powers, and I can't throw this power away for anything. GI power set is perfect. I thought that defense matrix would be nice for restoring shields and damage protection for a fragile class, but only if we had fourth power. 

Guardian shield?  You mean that piece of wet toilet paper that won't slow down a shot from my Black Widow with AP Mod III?  Never heard of it:D.

Not too crazy about Prox Mine.  The detonation radius seems to be about 0.5m, which means enemies need to step right on top of it before it blows.  Certainly you can shoot the enemy with it, but given that it's a projectile with no tracking, it would be like shooting something with the Kishock.  I'm sure the Geth Infiltrator I played with thought it was cool to rock a GPS until it turned out that the lack of a headshot bonus wouldn't let him keep up with my Black Widow on bosses.  Plus you know, by the time he's rounded the corner to shoot the enemy taking cover there, I already put a round through their head from afar:D.  This persisted throughout the course of the match.  Sure he could shoot at enemies from afar, but I made better use of the wallhack by shooting enemies in cover.  You're depriving yourself of a lot of fun by not shooting through cover.  Guardian shields are also a problem with the GPS.  You have to go around the Guardian or shoot and hope for a lucky mail slot hit, whereas I can simply aim for the head and just shoot anyways.

Proximity Mine is a very underrated skill. if you don't like it try it with the radius upgrade at rank 4 you'll see a difference.

GI with a Javelin or GPS is just nasty.

The additional damage and the ability to see enemies trough walls and smoke makes for a very, very good ability. Valiant is OP, yes, and that is why it's OP and a half once you add up all the bonuses from cloak and hunter mode. It devours bosses. A Salarian infi would also be good with it, of course, and in some circumstances even better. But the fact that the Salarian infi can be better than the Geth in some circumstances does not make the Geth infi "terrible", which is the title of your thread.

You can change the title to "I think the Salarian infi is better than the Geth" and I will have no problem, but the Grth infi is most definitely NOT terrible.

Yep. Every week they seem to find a new way to stick it to Ps3 owners. Sucks when the developer of two of your favourite franchises seem to always give your console the shaft. Been wanting to try the valiant and perform in weekend events for ages.

[Greystone]

For pure sniping awesomeness I'm gonna have to toss my vote in for the salarian.

For claymore up close and personal gonna have to say human with trow ice.

For all around high damage geth with either geth shotgun or valiant/black widow.

hunter mode....

People really don't get how amazing Geth Infiltrator is? Seriously?

Here's a hint: don't use a single shot sniper rifle. A Valiant or BW on a Geth Infiltrator is one of the nastiest things in the game. In my opinion, it's actually the best Infiltrator variant, by a lot.

[Sacrificial Bias]

Pretty sure the Quarian Infiltrator is worse when fighting a faction other than the Geth. Of course, my opinion might just be biased because I happened to outscore a QI with a Black Widow on a Bronze Reaper game using my Drell Adept on my 2nd game ever with it.

The QI cannot wallhack, it does not have bonus damage over the GI, and it does not have a Rate of Fire increase. I actually think the RoF bonus makes the Black Widow fire like the Valiant does if I'm reading the numbers right. So you know, Black Widow and the Geth are made for each other. Legion agrees.

Tactical Cloak, Hunter Mode, and Proximity Mine.
Essentially, it could be a great class, but there isn't a skill that would help with your sniping.
No cryo, no overload, no energy drain, not even incinerate.
Proximity mine doesn't freeze your opponent, so what kind of sniper is that?

one that can shoot moving targets?
The only problem I had with GI is low survivability. But that may have been my punishment for testing it against reapers/hydra on gold (in a team of 4 GI:s). I think I got the medal for most deaths... oh, the shame...

In my experience, sniper infiltrators often do not score too well on bronze, because other classes take care of the enemy (e.g. with biotic explosions) before the infiltrator has time to reload. 

[Adam2190]

Geth infiltrators have the highest damage output per shot so unless you can't hit an easy moving target they're awesome. Although personally the Salarian infiltrator is still my favourite.

It's not my thread, and clearly we agree. =)

All I was saying was that the GI isn't the god tier class some people are making it out to be. It's definitely not terrible though.

You people are silly. Proximity mine is one of the best powers in the game. If something can be screwed then it's fitness.

This. So many, many, many times this...

*Isn't the Salarian Infiltrator just plain terrible?*

Fixed this thread for you.

If you can't hit a target without freezing/stunning it first, then sniping isn't for you anyways.

Proximity Mine is fantastic. Shooting off one of those before all your cloaked shots helps both you and your team take down enemies substantially more efficiently. And the wallhacking that Hunter Mode allows you to do is pure awesome.

I love it on Dagger. Shooting through the floor to take all those guys who like to group up below the tower and camp there. Nothing is safe from a GI.

[Yigorse]

Yeah, so proxy bombs sucks a little. Hunter mode turns you into a monster on the battlefield, allowing you to observe enemies through walls and smoke and then neatly head-shot them one after the other with your improved fire rate and damage.

IMO Geth works best as a weapon-focused damage dealer, and that melee's no joke either.
