Hi guys, this is my first guide as sorts so i hope that this make sense .

This is most likely well known and there are many guides and videos on the web but i will explain from my own experience .Basically you need to start a new match setting the enemy to Geth, the location to Firebase White and the challenge to gold. Next you will need to set up your team, it is a lot easier if you have 4 friends so you can choose what class each member will be as sometime other random people wont know what they are doing or wont work as a team (the major downside). But it can be done even with other people has i have been sucessfully many times as well its just something i prefer.
 

Team Setup
 
The best team set up in my experience is:

Qurian infiltrator (with sabotage max and Cloak max) also make sure that on rank 6 of cloak that the fire one power and stay cloaked is selected as you will be able to use one power and you will stay hidden.

Salarian Engineer ( With Decoy at max and Energy Drain at max) this will help with keeping the enemy occupied as well as help damage anything that attacked the decoy. I cant remember the set up (Power setups) so i will post them later.
Energy Drain is also great as it drains enemies shields and raising your own helping with staying alive. The good thing is that geth are robots basically so you can you drain on geth as much as you like raising your shields and dealing damage.
 
Geth Engineer ( With geth turret) the turret is very useful for dealing damage to enemies and staying out of harms way.
Geth Engineers also have overload which is also good against geth and shielded geth (Primes, Hunters)
 
The last member can ether be another Salarian Engineer or infiltrator (Mainly for stealth revives and the 4 data points objective) also a turian Sentinel is also an option due to him having overload as well. I cant remember how i set up my powers fully so i will check and update.

Update:

The new qurian Male is also usefull as his tatical scan raise weapon damage to the target it is used on good for taking down primes. If you set up his cloak so sniper damage is raised by 40% while in cloak and have T Scan on a prime can take down a armor secment (i was using the vailent with the damage mod so sniper amp would also raise damage in theory)
 
The only race that you do not what to have in your team doing this is any character with heavy melee Krogan especially the main reason for this as many krogan players run over and try to take on everything due to the high shield and heath as well as heavy hitting melee attack. All that will happen that in most cases they will die pretty quickly even if they stay in cover as they are so tall their not fully covered by low cover. Any vanguard also should be not used as biotic charge can cause problems as myself have accidental hit the charge hot key( triangle on ps3) and their powers wont help as much at least from what i have seen in the my games.
 
As for the new races i havent been able to play as them yet due to the pack only coming out today lol so i will give my views and ideas once i have tried them out,

Weapons
As far as weapons go, i used to use the geth pulse shotgun as it does do a fair bit of damage and still have a ok recharge speed. I have recently been using snipers as their range it a lot better and is a good combo with Qurian infiltrators as you can sabotage enemies with in scope and cloaked this makes sabotaging far off geth as well as making easy kills deceased the number of enemies at close range.

 

Recommended Weapons
 
N7 Valiant: The fire rate is pretty good for a sniper and at a clip size of 3 can easily take take geth with one clip (as long as you get headshots but with power use can still kill) it also has a faster reload then most snipers. Its damage over all isn't as good as the black window it is how every lighter so recharge speed is better with the valiant and even more so with the correct power setup( Weight bonuses and weapon weight decrease bonuses) If you equip the damage barrel then it is almost has the same damage at the black window.
 
Geth Plasma Shotgun : The Geth Plasma Shotgun's high base damage makes it a devastating tool in the hands of a geth character that invested into weapon damage bonuses from both Networked AI and Hunter Mode. The gun also has a slight lock on feature that i have noticed but it isnt very good but if done right you aim can be a Little be off. It is good as close range as due to the high damage getting headshots is an easy task doing major damage. You can charge the gun but it does leave you open for attack but hopefully the decoy will take most of the fire.
 
I haven't really tried other weapons out but having a high damage pistol is always usefully (as long as recharge speed isnt effected that much.

To be Tested:
Krysae Sniper Rifle - I havent used this my self but i have seen it been used on geth gold and i have had rounds only last about 25 minutes and successfully completed it. From what i have seen it does a fair bit of damage to geth primes and the smaller geth units so i cant give my own views on the gun but if you have unlocked it then it is worth a go. I have read up on the weapon and it seems to effective if used with a geth Infitrator (And BioWareMassEffect also said about it below) and i will also check this once i have the gun (Been getting weapon upgrades and no new stuff from pack lately lol)


 
Now once you have setup your team and are happy hit ready to began the round
 
 

Cover Positions
 
 
Now it will take about 30 minutes on avenge i have generally completed a round around 33 to 35 minutes but it depends on the objectives and if you have to take down primes with out rockets lol will take long but if you are well adapted to the game then 30 minutes is more likely.
 
 
What you need to do is once you have spawned on the map what you need to do is sprint down to the bottom of map round the corner past the walk way on the right and follow the left hand route

as you go round the corner
http://image.wetpain...oFF-2QCpA498264
you will so a metal cover place at the back and a opening that goes into a room. Head in side the room and you will see on you left that is a square with an opening just head of the square. Get 3 members of your squad to take cover behide it where you can see the dead guy. This is the best place as grabs are really easy to do and also make all the geth spawn up top making it easy for you to kill them before the reach you and stopped back attacks unless they sneak round (more on that further down
http://image.wetpain...ZfNJBmAIQ394088
You will also want to place a infiltrator here

This will help stop geth sneaking round the back as like i said before there is an opening behind the cover point. geth hunters are the worse for this and has happened to me a few times one gets round the back an can take out your team fast from behind. Grabs can be easy as well depending on how the enemy moves.,
 
Stay in theses areas for the whole 10 waves. the only reason to leave is to do the objective leaving the infirators to do the 4 data points as the can stay invisible and the enemy will concentrate on the rest of the team. The other objective that can cause problems is the hack objective. Sometimes if you are luckily there is a chance the the hack point is next to square and isn't a issue. It is when it is else where the problem can happen as the whole team needs to be hacking to get the full amount of credits and can be hard to get too. They only thing i suggest is to wait and see where the enemy is coming from and plan a route based on that it is a good idea to get your infiltrators there as they have more change of getting there due to their cloaks and can take out the geth so the rest of the team can get there (as sometime the hack area is at a spawn point)
 
Also after each round make sure to get to a ammo crate and top up you ammo as depending on the round you can use all your ammo fast. You can use the ammo crate near the stair case in front of the you or the is one near the cover point outside. Their is one that is right at the back of the map behind you outside which is recomended as this helps with keeping the geth spawning uptop andf if the round starts before you are back in cover there is less change to get shot due to no geth around.

Power use
 
 
As far as powers go, use sabotage to take over the geth so the will attack each other the best units that seem to work well are rocket troopers and the pyros, primes can be taken over all well but i only do this to so while im shooting and using enengy drain it doesnt attack back for a few seconds and damage a few units in the process. Sabotaging the pyros that normally come with the primes also helps kill them and can do a fair bit of damage on top as your teams.
 
A well place decoy can do really well, the best place is just in front of the cover area inside as the attacts geth into the room and can make grabs and kills a very easy task and keep damage to you team low.
 
Overload can used on all geth, apart from taking shields down it can stun them for a few seconds giving you time to kill it.
 

Supplies
 
If you are in the square cover only you medi gel if needed as you team can help you out mainly the infitrator as he had revive you will out being seen so less chance of them dying as well.
 
Rockets should be saved till the later wave as they can be three geth primes that spawn together among other units and its easier to get kill streeks and takes them out fast. I learnt this the hard way when i had to take on 4 primeswith no supplies lol. I managed it but i was a close (had a very good team of random players i was suprised lol).
 
Stay in cover as much as possible as rocket troopers like to hide up stop and can be hard to kill tho them seem to have no problem hiting you will the rockets taking your shields down and if there is more then one taking you out.

I havent had a chance to see or use the new gear feature so i will update with any combos that help.
 
That about it really with a bit of skill, luck and patience then you will easier make a fair bit of gold in a few hours as each match will give you around 70,000 sometimes more if you complete the objective fast.

Any comments and ideas would be helpful and hope this helps :)

cloak not clock. Fairly good guide, there are other ways of course, and it may be best to put your sniper behind the other desk/console in the same room as your other members are in. that way all the enemies are drawn to that one door and are less likely to sneak by the one lone gun man and kill the team by surprise. Cloaked hunters are very good at that.

It's good you put this in here instead of the multiplayer forum, because they would have thrown a fit that you wrote a guide for FBWGG. :)

Use the new turian sniper (Best used by a geth infiltrator in my opinion) even if it's at upgrade level 1 in bronze it kills an atlas in 6 shots with hunter mode and for the first of the 3 shots you cloak. And then imagine it at level 10 on gold, that'd probably destroy everything.. :3

Yeah this has been common knowledge. So much that some call it a cancer in Firebase White vs Geth.

Matter of fact I just did two gold runs on it. Tactical Scan is a waste. Building up the other stuff to the max and using a Geth Plasma Shotgun from the cover point outside is an epic way to do.
