What classes do you use against them? Are you aware that certain classes are strong against certain factions but weaker against others? I suspect a lot of BSN users play classes that cannot handle geth swarm tactics well.

Case in point when properly specced Turian and Batarian soldiers can damage and stun lock groups of Geth by spamming proximity mine and ballastic blades. Claymore human soldiers are also effective as the Geth like to get in close. If you're hosting play as a vangaurd and on silver at least you're unkillable vs Geth.

The Geth hysteria on here is absurd. Do they stun lock? Yes but they need something to make up for lacking any OHK units.

My problem with the Geth is when a Rocket Trooper double taps the trigger and leaves me at my critical health gate or when I have a Hunter floating in my Singularity and he downs me with his perfectly aimed Geth Plasma Shotgun shots.
I've seen Hunters frozen solid but still shooting at teammates. Rocket Troopers on Reactor, Goddess, or Giant camp up in the rafters and rain death upon you. Geth Pyro's flamethrower heat is apparently so intense that it extends beyond the flame animation.
Stuff like that. Not hard, but incredibly cheap.
The stun-lock is everywhere, but that just makes the Geth deadly and teaches you to stay in cover and fight from a distance.

This is just evil. I almost hear them yell "SURPRISE!" before eating a couple of rockets... :/

See with reapers you can play any character or combination of characters and classes, and you can be successful. Same with cerberus.

With geth it can either be a doddle with certain characters/classes, or it can be a major pain in the backside with all the stunlocking and stuff.

Any class works, I find harder hitting weapons are more effective versus Beth but you can literally take any class and tailor it to any of the three factions

Geth you say?

Chain Overload MkII and Area Incinerate I say.

Yes engineers are also devestating vs the Geth probably the most effective class vs Geth but whenever I cite them I get a response that goes like this "they're good against all enemies so they don't count". That's why I cited non-engineers.

Harder then the other 2 factions, doesn't mean impossible just harder which they are.

[Jetblackmoon]

I seriously never understood how people think the Geth are the hardest faction, even with the buffs.

[NinthGeorgesw]

The problem with Geth is that they are cheap. They have Rocket Troopers that fire 3 rockets at once, Geth Hunters that shoot you while they're stunned, and almost all of their units can stunlock the less mobile classes.

For realz.

Let me try and explain this as simply as i can put it:

I think Geth are the hardest faction because Reapers and Cerberus are easier

[xabkish]

Genuinely hard? No.
Annoying? Extremely.
Buggy? Hell yeah.
And that's why they're kind of harder than Cerberus and/or Reapers.

But I'm playing Kroguard against them for some time already and I must say: Kroguard is the most OP character against Geth. He just doesn't give a **** about their pesky damage and is perfectly capable of killing them easily (tip: melee all the things).

When I use my GE, easy as pie. Everything else I at least equip my hurricane for when the Hunters get the jump. The harrier works well on them too.

[DatFeel]

Stunlock is annoying, but Reapers are definitely more of a challenge.

[Crimson Invictus]

They're certainly the most tedious.

Ditto to these two.

[IllusiveManJr]

And as far as all the things I mentioned in my first post, I wouldn't mind if they happened every once in awhile. But these things are guaranteed to happen at least once a match.

The biggest difference between Geth and the other factions is that you can't give up any ground to the Geth. If you fail to push back their advance it's over. In other words they focus on overruning you with swarm tactics. Where as Cerberus incircles you and the Reapers pin you down from near and afar. Each faction has to be fougtht differently.

Like others said they are just so dang cheap it's not any fun fighting them...it makes zero sense a Krogan and Batarian are paralyzed when fighting them even though they are supposed to be these big tough resilient characters
Primes throwing their overpowered turrets in places it's physically impossible at times
Hunters shooting when they are clearly incapacitated by certain powers or staggered
I can turn a corner and their bullets meet me literally before I was in sight

[Kalas Magnus]

Personally I think cerberus is the hardest faction. Those phantoms have been getting me mad. with the "pew pew pew" from a distance and the flanking. If two are attacking me I know Im going down and if I try to melee them they insta kill me. ;_;

[GGW KillerTiger]

Geth are the hardest of the three no matter what build you use

[Sailears]

Another thing about geth is all their ranged attacks together with the stunlocking and swarming tactics.

Sure cerberus are have loads of ranged attacks too, but they move at you more "tactically", and you have a better chance of playing them at their own game, or retreating and moving around.

Reapers are a challenge, I agree. But apart from magnet hands (oh, and the phaeston of doom, and ravagers), I find geth harder. You can dodge and run around with reapers, unless there's a ravager in the vicinity pinning you down. You can't really run around with quite the same "ease" with geth.

[Cyran127]

It mostly depends on the map and squad. In my experience Geth are still easiest if farming on White, followed by Reapers. Random, I'd probably be most comfortable fighting Cerberus. I could see Geth being hardest on random just because they have so many BS heatseeking weapons that stun you and somehow lock on and hit you even if you're running by a doorway for a millisecond. Even troopers seem to have pinpoint deadly accuracy that can kill you if they catch you out of cover for a second. As long as you don't get flanked and have an army of biotics, Reapers are somewhat manageable. Then again, a single Salarian engineer with decoy can make Geth a breeze.

[SnakeEyes]

I don't find the Geth to be hard, I just find the Hunters to be EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Their GPSG that can strip shields and get you do to half a Health bar in 2 quick shots is bad enough, but then they throw in the Stunlock as well which enfuriates me no end.
