Press reload button, then as soon as the ammo counter is refilled, cancel the rest of the reload animation by pressing another button - which button will depend a bit on your character, but most on Xbox use the sprint/cover button (esp on characters like the Kroguard, which has no dodge).


Is it the same on an Infiltrator?

You should use the grenade capacity mod for the N7 Shadow. Sounds weird I know but it must be a glitch or something, it gives hidden bonus to SMG and melee damage (since you'll be using the locust, SMG damage is what you want).

equip with Harrier and Claymore for CQB with reload cancel.


Also, how do I reload cancel? That was one of the questions in my first post.



GI's arent my playstyle at all, GE's are more friendly, but Human Engineers can be good as Nukers if you go for the 0/6/6/6/6 build, so no drone powers, maxing overload for single target max damage, and incinerate for raw damage and armor mitigation.

Reload cancelling is when you have zero grenades or a power in recharge, while reloading a super slow weapon, hit that power button RIGHT when your ammunition number shows it refilled, you'll shave anywhere from .3 to one full second.

FE: Use overload, while its on cooldown, reload claymore. RIGHT when the claymore goes from 0-1, you hit the shoulder button for overload, though its on cooldown, and itll skip the .5 seconds or so it takes to finish the claymore reload, letting you shoot it MUCH faster.

8.5/10 for the trolling. I was just imagining the elitist responses for a moment, but
the manifest spoiled that.

Nah, you'll need something to give her Nova more punch. I'm thinking of the Warfighter Package maybe?

If it's a glitch I don't want to use it, I've seen a lot of people get banned for exploiting glitches in this game.

Go to youtube, search for mass effect 3 multiplayer ... You will find tons of tips and guides for Gold/Platinum and how to do reload canceling. Gold is significantly harder than Silver. People here seem to assume that you are trolling (I do not care if you are trolling or not). If you want to see if you are ready for Gold, try to survive Wave 1 on Firebase White vs the Geth. If you die instantly, then you are not ready

Again, I AM NOT TROLLING!!!

Just because I had a lot of money to spend on packs, did every weekend challenge and had basically no life for the last 1,5 month I'm trolling?!

That's farming and I don't like that, I already spent a lot of money to get most of the cards in the game so I don't need to farm. I was in a team on silver once where we all just sat in the bottom room and it was boring as hell.

Also, I don't want to do gold, I want to do platinum since I reckon I can actually do quite well in it.

You guys are just mocking me. Only Vanguard can use Nova and Warfighter Package would do nothing to improve a Shadow with SMG. <_<

I have a couple of times during weekend challenges. Though I wouldn't say that it went amazingly well :unsure:

If your idea of being efficient with a GI is not using proxy mines while using cooldown equipment for cloak paired with raptor or locust then you probably shouldn't play platinum.


This.


And op I dont understand whats the purpose of you making this thread - You clearly have no idea at the game and youre asking if you should play at the highest diffculty.

If you want build ideas search in the forum.

You should read the whole thread! I have explained a couple of times now why I have what I have in my manifest!

Just ignore them if you're genuine, you'll get help mixed in with the sarcasm anyway. Personally I'd say if you don't understand cancelling yet and can't regularly solo bronze at least with your stronger characters then you're not ready for gold. But give it a whirl anyway - you've got a river of consumables so strap them
On and dive in. Might be an idea to start with the most durable class you feel comfortable with - aim for staying alive & being useful rather than topping the board. I've had best results on gold with either a defence spec geth engineer or a durability spec Kroguard FWIW.

I'm online right now on XBL and want to try it okey? And if you think I got it all wrong then for the love of God help me get it right instead of being an "elitist"!

not to mention equipping eagle gives you a hidden 9001% damage boost to everything.

As I said, I don't want to get carried so I would rather not be last in score. I do actually like the Krogan Vanguard but the glitch is really annoying (you know, the one when you fly up over the map or under it).

Any particular enemy or map that would be preferable when using the Krogan Vanguard?

Thanks for your advice btw! :)

Haven't really tried gold yet but I've heard people say that gold and platinum are similar to each other.

The line above is from this thread.

I also encourage other good gold players out there to post their GT in this thread and act as a mentor during this weekend.Players who are not used to gold will have a very hard time to play against Reapers on gold, so please boys and girls, lend out a helping hand to those who now feel intimidated by this operation and help them through it so that they can then go back and play the difficulty that they enjoy the most. 

And this is from the thread Cake Tasty linked. Looking at the bolded text, your words imply that you are a "good gold player". So, unless you are an schizophrenic with multiple personalities, I say this is a troll thread. A nice one, actually, I can tell some people here even believe your words. 

I give you a 8.5/10.
