Like some folks just don't know that the shredder mod doesn't do jack for the GPS. Or that the ultralight materials doesn't change your cool down times on the Hurricane unless you're carrying a pistol with ultralight as well. I see things like this in lobbies all the time.
So thought it might be a cool thread(if it hasn't been done already) to post verified tips and such. Hypothesis and theories should be a separate thread however. But question here should be welcome I think...
Little do they know: Post a helpful tip

Level IV ammo is the bane of your existence, once rare weapons and characters are maxed out.
Prepare many beverages to compensate.

The N7 Phantom Rank 6 Fitness sword bonus not being applied to Shadow Strike is a big one that I'm sure many people are still not aware of.

Except that most people playing the game don't read the forums, so this won't help them.
Also, the shredder mod does still counter armor damage resistance when equipped on the GPS, but doesn't pierce.
Edited for clarity.
Edit: Got my facts wrong. Sorry, people.

I thought the GPS countered armor innately...good to know.

Stairs and slopes prevent sync kills, both yours, and those of the enemy.
There is a scarcity of cover on sloped ground in the Firebases - and as you know, you need a chest-high wall to use your Grab sync kill - however, so use this quirk to your advantage.

Detonating Tech armor or a squadmate dealing a large amount of damage to banshee who's picking you up MAY result in her dropping you..

The GPS has no DR.

I recommend an ammunition bonfire.
Especially with all of that incendiary ammunition.

If you see a N7 > 1000, using a UR X + mods V + ammo IV and playing with a level 8 or lower character on gold, just give him a chance and don't kick him just because of his character level.

Building on what the OP said
EDIT: I'd like to add that killing enemies doesn't increase credit payouts, doing the objectives faster does.
I was leveling my AJA on Bronze and the three other guys refused to go into the hack circle, and we got 2 of those and I had to escort the drone by myself too. It turned a 14 minute match into a 20 minute one, with less credits.
*facepalm*

Choke isn't very useful on the GPS or Graal. Destroyer has a reload bug on the Hurricane.

No instakills on stairs or ramps unless you are on the same level as the enemy.
Atlases can only fire from one hand. If that hand is behind cover you can blast away with impunity without worrying about being shot.
AP ammo powers oftentimes will not apply on two weapons, especially if one weapon is at a different level than the other.
Charge weapons synergize well with biotic charge and shadow strike.

For the love of the Asari Goddess, do not try to start on Platinum. You are not that good. In fact, you probably shouldn't even start on Gold.

What I meant was that equipping a shredder mod on the GPS allows it to do more damage to armor.

When running, weave left and right as you run. You'll take significantly less damage from assault troopers and the like.

Oh and eventhough it's a projectile, the particle rifle pierces cover in overdrive like whoa.

He's saying it doesn't. Shredder would only do that by decreasing armour's DR. The GPS bypasses armour DR completely.
