Yes, I still take my geth engi out, I have some good times playing it.

It was missing it's falcon for a while, but now I can get it out with that again. Or a few streams from a harrier between overloads on plat, while it's turret shields the organics.

I don't use him as much as I used to, he's not a good fit on plat.


I love you Feneckus, but I think you're very wrong

I'd love to play him, but as my computer is a weaker one, once I turn Hunter Mode on, somehow I lose a good chunk of FPS... So he's a bit out of the question so far :(


Hunter Mode is basically pointless on the gethgineer, from my experiences. I prefer speccing for overload, I don't even notice the lack of hunter mode.

I still play him. Played him last night, in fact. Armed with a Saber, Overload, hybrid turret (healing and flamethrower), full fitness, and just a small sprinkle of Hunter Mode. Full Hunter Mode is reserved for my Geth Infiltrator.

I do! Love that guy! Mine looks like a Prime! :D
I max the Defensive turret, chain Overload, HM, and Fitness. Stick the Mattock on him and go to town :D
Amazing class. Him combined with a Kroguard got me almost through Plat last time I tried. If we hadn't been carrying the other two guys we would have easily beaten it.

Hunter Mode is utterly pointless unless you max it out. An unmaxed HM is not worth the hit to shields on a GE.

I use it more for the situation awareness than the Offensive perks. Those are still nice though. But srs, the ability to see through walls makes you a HUGE asset to your team.

just promoted engies last night before i went to bed... so im releveling but,
when i have my Geth Engi at 20 i usually equip him when i see a GI. Its
a fun little minigame to outscore them on gold/plat. and i do it with an Offense
turret and a scorpion =P. its a match made in heaven.

My favorite character in the game at the moment. He can still wreck with the Piranha post nerf. Too bad I can't say that about the other engineers.

I grew sick of GI months ago. GE can dish out big damage and be a huge asset and utility to the entire team if he knows how to use the turret.

Edit: Come on guys,,,, skipping HM? lmao!

Specced mine HM for RoF, accuracy, and speed and vision- so I can use a Piranha w/ smart choke as an all-rounder tear-em-up gun. OL specced for R3 chain, neural shock, and shield/barrier dmg, turret for shield/dmg and otherwise shields/restore. Pretty versatile, though w/o the Pir prob wouldn't be as much an offensive powerhouse. Disruptor ammo for easy self-made TBs, turret stops health bleeds from banshees, swarmers, etc. Not a bad character- just has limited setups to be a contender in Plat.

Are you kidding me?

His Hunter Mode turns the Hurricane into a rapid fire sniper. 25% Accuracy/15% RoF/17.5% damage.

He can take down enemies amazingly fast.

The GE does fine on platinum with larger maps, and killing fields. Use a scorpion with incendiary, Then overload and watch things go boom. Use the piranha to deal with the bosses when they finally get to you.

Well, my Geth Engineer is not a good fit on plat. On Gold I run around the map with chain overload and I kill everything in sight with my Hurricane. Really effective but you can't really do that on plat since 90% of the enemies won't be stunned by overload.

I should probably try a new build/weapon. Maybe full overload and Saber/Harrier or something.

Until the most recent Particle Rifle buff, I played the GE more than my GI.

GE is good on his own and great for a team, especially if you have Slayer like classes that use barrier power for their powers. His Turret (if leveled right) really helps those guys out. This is especially important on Gold/Plat games.

I use it all the time, even in plantinum
Perhaps the best sniper in the game when used with javelin.

Love it. Though my build is somewhat unconventional. I put no points in Hunter mode and max out everything else. Spec Overload to stun organics and finish them with the Harrier. Pretty effective, in my experience.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say that the GE is my second most used character, with my N7 Paladin being in first.

Stopped using him on Gold Because of the demolisher..but bring him out occasionally on Silver (although Miss Jiggly Bum-Bum is more fun and less squishy)

Specced out of Hunter Mode because it gives me headaches

Geth Engineer was the first (and last) class I got an extraction on platinum with. I didn't play him as a heavy hitter, I just stuck with the group and made sure that my Medic Turret was healing everyone, whilst I concentrated on the smaller, more annoying units in the distance (I used the Valiant) and overload spamming everything that moved.

I'm still not sure how to spec him. I normally use this build, but I am considering changing to this one. Thoughts?

I only turn it on occasionally for close proximity wall-hack. Half the time, he goes without it. I could have specced him completely out of Hunter Mode and spent the last 6 points on his passive, but I thought that I might need the Hunter Mode sometimes. I wouldn't do full HM on the GE, just because I want him to be different from my super-killer GI.

In any case, you're probably right that it might not worth it if I'm not going to max it out, but I don't really notice any performance problems for now. Also, the shield hit might not be so bad on the full fitness GE since it's only half of the base shields that gets lost. My Reset cards are precious. :)

GE is my high scoring character. I get more kills with him than any other class. Max damage flame turret, no hunter mode. Hurricane and sniper rifle. Overload - headshot BOOM!
