I'm looking for a weapon that can kill enemies at a decent pace, without having to run to the ammo box every few seconds. I'm using a geth engineer, so having a low enough cooldown to periodically cast would be on my wishlist.

So, is the Paladin my best bet? Maybe the Mattock? What does your experience tell you?



BTW, my GT is SpectreDTM on the PC, and I just moved up to Gold. So, if you see my not doing things quite right just know that I'm willing to learn. :)

A claymore is the solution to any problem.

Saber is quite nice for the things you mentioned. As is the Geth Plasma Shotty, esp sine you're a geth. Nothing wrong with the paladin/carnifex either. I personally love the piranha with hunter mode if you use it.

All your rares are maxed and URs unlocked. Just choose your favourite and go to town. On the Gethgineer I like the GPS, Wraith, Saber, Mattock, GPR, Talon, Hurricane, CSR, Valiant. and CSMG amongst others.

Overload has quick enough of a cooldown that you don't need to worry about weight too much. Furthermore, the GE specced for weapons damage can be one of the deadlier classes; as such I recommend bringing something more substantial than a paladin or mattock, although both guns can be quite good.

The saber is a popular GE choice for headshotting. Go with the best weapon you're comfortable with, I'd say.

I tried that ... The problem is that the weapons I used on silver leave me a bit too exposed on Gold. I need a weapon that quickly dispatches enemies, without losing my casting ability and without having to run to the ammo box every few seconds. Yep ... I want it all ...

I guess what I am looking for is the most balanced weapon for a caster class.

The problem I am experiencing is that I am getting cut down as I shoot at enemies out of cover. Yes, staying in cover is the best option in Gold, but the right weapon should allow me to remain out of cover for short periods of time (I think). I'm not looking to be invulnerable, I just don't want to spend a whole match behind a wall holding my blankee and sucking my thumb. ;)

With the gethgeneer, I use the GPR. Inferno or Disruptor ammo and Fire/Tech Burst my way to victory.

Don't use hard cover. Use RHA/soft cover.

Unless there's lasers from a praetorian.

You'll probably still die, but it might help sometimes.

Lasers are dodgeable, just track right or left before they hit you.

The M-4 Shuriken is the 'go to' weapon for gold and platinum  :devil:

I forgot about the Sabre. It seemed the cooldown was a bit high, but I'll give it a shot on Silver and then move it onto Gold if it pans out.

If anyone else has suggestions (other than using the shuriken with no mods) I'm all ears. :)

Just practice headshots. The stuff that you feel leaves you too exposed on Gold will soon start to feel okay. Unless you're using the Avenger, in which case, switch to something else. ANYTHING else.

I prefer the solid wall option for off-host. No offense.

Not everyone's a touch-pad hero, HA.

On, very important, advice: don't care too much about cooldowns. They're usually way overrated :)

Yes, the increased use of soft cover rather than hard cover is one of the core skills on gold and plat. Also, don't forget about right hand advantage, especially since the GE can't take damage spikes. You want to be behind a wall, but still firing rather than sucking your thumb :)

Off-host, I prefer to be on the other side of the map :D
