Snipping swarmers with a Javelin must be epic, and vbery rewarding. :happy:

You also spend more time on cooldown that way.


I still get more damage in the long run. Because my 2 cloaks are going to do more damage than your 3. 

But I don't always do this, it STILL however always makes one more shot count from cloak.

Yes I'm on PC. It's a lot different on Xbox? 


Its not about being different. Its about me wanting to play with you guys and I was checking if we play on the same platform.

I am always happy to find better players than myself. I find it improves me.

Oh it's that. Yeah we can't. A shame though, a lot of good players on Xbox I wish I could play with too.

I don't know how much they are the same, but it would be great to have cross platform...

Kain, add me on origin and lets have some serious infiltrator fun...

Drummernate, do you really play the drums?

I haven't read this whole thread, but to say they aren't good is ridiculous. I haven't been able to kill a brute in 1 prox mine, and 3 quick shots with any other class. GI is awesome as a CQC infiltrator and decent as a sniper infiltrator.

I never touched proximity mine.

The points are better invested in Networked AI or Advanced Hardware.

This thread makes me Lol. As a Geth Infiltrator, with Tactical Cloak, Hunter Mode, and the N7 Valiant, I Kitten-Stomp the grunts. Especially cannibals. Kill a few, and hoards of them come flying in to eat the fallen. Then its just a killing field. Sniper Paradise. Even Brutes and Banshees are nothing more than bigger targets.

EDIT: oh, and also, at the beginning of a match, Tactical Cloak+wade into a sea of cannibals+heavy melee=LolWtfPwned

I'm looking forward to getting the Valiant.  Right now I'm having fun with the Raptor VII and ammo powers.  It doesn't do as much damage, but it's great fun and never runs out of ammo.

I like Prox mine, however, you cant really take it on a GI, you really need to max your fitness or you die very very fast in hunter mode.


Try 4/5/6/6/5 if you want a fitness heavy GI.  There's little to gain in the last two ranks of cloak unless you're going for a melee or sniper build.

If you really want you can sacrifice rank 6 Networked AI for 6 Fitness as well.


that build makes no sense... Why take Prox Mine if you dont max cloak and get the fire one ability...  Also. why wouldnt i go for a sniper build? You miss rank 6 hunter mode for 10 percent extra damage.  Ontop of that, then id be skipping weight reduction on sniper rifles if i skipped last rank of networked AI.  If you dont take fitness you got like max 500 hp in hunter mode, so you can get one shot real easy. 
         That entire build completely ignores the main focus of the class.  Id never fire a prox mine unless i was cloaked.  My GI does insane damage as long as i have some kind of bait or a nearby GE.  Otherwise im gonna die fast.  Overall i feel like SI still outdoes the GI due to survivability with ED and the flexability to fire PM for extra damage if i need it and the debuff.  All without needing to take fitness.

it's actually not that difficult to get a shot off after laying down a prox mine while still under cloak.

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? :?


The Ginfiltrator is by far the most devastating class for DPS.  pm me if you want a build that will destroy all.

But sometimes, you want to take your time before you get your shot off. Especially against primes and phantoms.

I always thought Proximity Mine was "early warning system for flanking Geth Hunters".

Seriously, Geth Infiltrator is indispensible for Gold farming. I prefer the Geth Engineer myself, but a well-played Geth Infiltrator really adds to a team dynamic.

I knew if I had an opinion most people don't share, I'd get a bunch of more refined input on how to use the class :P

Thanks for the contribution, everyone! Even those who just posted laughter pics, I guess.

The Geth Infiltrator makes a very good CQC unit, specced for damage& ignoring fitness completely - it can really tear through most enemies with relative ease & hunter mode ensures you know where they are at (almost) all times so you should be able to get in, assasinate, get out with little difficulty.

I don't see why you would bother equipping it with a sniper rifle - you don't see Geth Hunters using those and that's effectively what the Geth Infiltrator is...

This.

One of my biggest complaints about MP was no radar and being able to get into more toruble running away than stayig and fighting soemthing. Huner mode eliminates not knowing where everything is since it can see through walls and cover and cloaks.Posted Image

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.


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. 

Really?  As an AA and QE in Bronze I often find Infiltrators killing my setup target before I can launch the second power to detonate them.  This is true even with the Drell Adept, though not as aggravating because Pull is faster to spam.  For the most part I think it'll be a matter of whether you use single-shot or multi-shot.  Someone with a Black Widow will outscore someone with a Widow by a pretty good amount on Bronze.  But then again, I've used the Incisor and Raptor to outscore people with a Widow on Bronze:D.

Geth Infiltrator + Hunter Mode with maxed damage + Cloak with maxed damage + Widow = 4-shotting Geth Primes on Gold. I'd say that's the exact opposite of 'just plain terrible'.

EDIT: Although, it is true the GI has absolutely ZERO ability to defend itself in that configuration.  I'd say it's a glass cannon, as when I play it, I essentially let my team take the aggro and snipe from the back.  A single rocket trooper coming up behind me can ruin my day.
