Okay so I got bored of playing infiltrator with shotguns/snipers so I came up with this experimental build. And holy crap does it do work.

Tried it a few games on silver, wrecked house and finished games in 16 minutes. Then I tried it on gold, first game was Cerberus on firebase white. Completed the run in 22 minutes, and scored 150,000 points, without any sort or rocket spawn zerging and we even had a random on our team who was being totally useless.

Anyway, on to the build. I call him;

The Geth Grenadier.

class: Geth infiltrator

Tac cloak 4: damage
Hunter mode 6: recharge (doesn't matter though), rate of fire, speed and vision
Proxy mine 6: radius, damage taken, damage
Networked AI 6: weapon damage, power damage, weapon damage
Advanced hardware 4: all shields

Weapon: Falcon X with barrel and extended clip
Carnifex X as secondary with barrel and AP mod (purely for killing heavy armored units as falcon sucks at that)

This class is honestly a complete monster of a class, it does insane AOE damage.

The newly buffed proxy mine does something like 1500 damage out of cloak over a 4,5 m radius and also debuffs targets. With tactical cloak you can spam it every 4-5 seconds, so it's like a endless supply of strong grenades.

The falcon does good damage to begin with, with the 90% buff from tactical cloak, and the boosts from hunter mode and the racial weapon damage upgrades, it does very high AOE and rapes clusters of trooper units from every faction.

The tactic is pretty much to fire a falcon shot or 2 to stagger and apply ammo effects, then activate cloak, proxy bomb to do area damage and debuff, and then fire more falcon shots with the cloak damage boost. Rinse and repeat every time cloak cools down, which is on a  fast cooldown.

If you have ammo effects like cryo or incendiary ammo the proxy mines can trigger fire/cryo explosions too which makes the whole thing even more awesome.

Phantoms are a complete joke with this setup. Same with hunters and pyros, they all drop like flies and several at a time too. The only problem is heavy units, but the carnifex with ap mod and barrel combined with cloak and hunter mode drops even atlases really quick.

Oh and did I mention that the cloaked proxy + falcon combo staggers everything? You can easily stagger banshees enough to stop them from teleportiing when hitting them with this.

Equipment used to make this setup more awesome: incendiary ammo, AR rail amp, shield module or power amplifier.

Go try it out guys! I promise you won't be dissapointed, it's a very fun and very effective setup. I recommend hosting to make the most of it though.

EDIT: For everyone who's played Modern Warfare 2, this is pretty much the One Man Army noobtuber of Mass Effect 3 :lol:

Haven't thought about it, I'll try it out tomorrow. my Scorpion is only level 3 though.

Falcon worked really well on this though. Also then I couldn't bring the carnifex which makes me suck against armor.

I think scorpion 3 is barely enough to 2 shot cerberus without PM.
but not quite enough for cannibals and geth troopers.

try firing scorpion before the PM.

I'll give it a shot but I think the falcon is better for this setup because of the instant stagger effect, which also helps me not get shot when breaking cloak. Falcon shot -> proxy bomb on staggered phantom -> 1 or 2 more falcon shots and you have 1 or more dead phantoms, they can't really do anything back to you because they die so fast.

You should try it out. I soloed gold with a GI with a GPS yesterday but to be honest I think it might be even easier with this setup, it's that good.

Hunter mode allows you to see where the enemies spawn too so you can literally nuke all the grunts right out of spawn.

Can everyone stop making completely awesome Geth Infiltrator builds?^_^

First I had a Graal/Gps + mine build, which completely wrecked face. Now I'm running Godless Paladin's mine + melee Claymore build, which also has an affinity for destruction. Now someone comes up with a mine + falcon AOE destruction build? .....must resist urge to re-spec. Seriously though, I think the fact that there are several not just viable but highly destructive Geth Infiltrator builds realls says a lot about the class' versatility.

It says something when applying a 150% universal damage buff makes many things plausible on gold.

How would the Striker stack up against the Falcon in this build?

I use this one with the GPS and claymore( I have accuracy boost in hunter mode which pretty much makes the claymore fire slugs) too and it wrecks with those as well. I had the melee build before but found it boring so I specced out of it and into pure weapon damage dealer + maxed proxy mine. Like I said I was using the GPS on this guy but got bored and decided to try something new, and it really worked out aweome, the AOE damage you can deal out with this setup is pretty disgusting <_<

I find the Falcon to have better AOE so I don't think striker will compare favorably (even with the glitched fire while cloaked)

This pretty much.

I think falcon would be betterbecause it
staggers more consistently and has a larger area of effect which is part
of the reason why this works so well, both proxy mine and falcon does
large area damage. Falcon hits pretty damn hard out of cloak too,
striker is a bit too weak for my liking.

*AHEM*

Actually I was the first ever to make a Geth melee build seeing as I unlocked the Geth within the first like 5 minutes of the DLC being released and the characters made purchasable. It took me apox. 28 minutes to come up with the melee build since I saw in the first match what it could do. The rest is history.

I was the first to share it with CrimsonEyed and Godless Paladin.

Godless gets all the attention because he has videos... but he never said who showed it to him. :unsure:


I personally skip proxy mine for increased weapon damage. I can one shot stuff with an Eviscerator and it has 3 shots instead of one like the Claymore.

I actually like the Striker better on other builds.  The AOE is smaller, but you can just spray around to compensate. I may have to try this, as I have almost this build already.

Skipping proxy bomb would make no sense whatsoever on this build. Maybe on a melee build but that is totally off topic. On this build proxy bomb is pretty much 50% of the formula. Falcon shot -> cloak -> proxy bomb -> falcon shots annihilates clusters of enemies in a matter of seconds, phantoms, hunters, whatever. They get blown up and don't get a chance to shoot back which is the best part as they get completely stunlocked.

Cool, let me know how it works out.

I found that a key part of making it work well is to either play pretty agressive, or to hold down a choke point where enemies funnel through.

And to make use of ammo powers and all those AR rail amps laying around.

How does this build work without rank 6 in cloak? Can you use proximity mines freely even without the cloak upgrade, and have cloak override their cooldown?

When you don't have the bonus power talent the cloak cooldown overrides the proxy mine cooldown, so you can spam them a lot. As I say in my OP I only have rank 4 of tac cloak.

My recharge with this setup is 50%, i can still spam proxy mines rapidly because of how the cloak cooldown works.

I was there when nate made that build. Random join, and we friended after. I laughed so hard that i seriously almost lost my grip on reality. You need two men to do it effectively, for attack redundancy and cloaked reviving, but its SO fast. I'm gonna work on hybridizing them, think.

On second thought the two builds should complement each other perfectly.

I want a female geth so I can have more geth builds. 

I don't care that it doesn't make sense, dammit!  I want more builds!  Or I want to get respec cards instead of duplicate character cards and get like 1000 respec cards.  I hate that they patched it so now I only get character cards which do literally nothing.

Yeah, I'd love to have one melee build and one pure weapon build for example, because they are both awesome. And I hate that they capped the respec cards at 3 because as you say, all you get are useless char cards, and when I actually want repec cards I don't get them -_-

Yeah. Bioware really should cap character cards and bring back uncapped respec cards.

Then people will complain about getting endless respec cards. :(

Tbh I don't really see the problem having tons of those... then I can respec my GI whenever I want.
