I honestly can't bear the thought of my Geth Engi having 1/2 shields, so I would just use the scanner with it. Granted, I miss out on a lot of bonuses, but I generally prefer survivability.

On the other hand, I cannot imagine a Geth without Hunter Mode.

I tried arc pistol last night and it was really good. So good, that I will most likely keep it on him. Lancer is just no fun. Just couldn´t figure out if it´s better for priming to make charged shots or uncharged. Seemed same.


P.S.: Am I the only noob who zoom in while shooting?
P.P.S.: MY geth has definitely best color scheme

Nice guide. I personally like to take a different direction with the geth engineer (my favourite engineer, by far). I use him as a (semi-) weapons platform while still taking full advantage of both of his powers and maintaining a very quick power recharge time. I spec into rate of fire, accuracy and movement and vision on hunter mode. I use a lancer, which benefits quite nicely from hunter mode. It's a light weapon, and with incendiary ammo, I can trigger fire explosions very frequently, and I'm able to keep spamming that turret like there's no tomorrow. I dislike the arc pistol and it doesn't really benefit from hunter mode, but that's just my own taste, I've seen a few players who can absolutely dominate with that weapon. For a character like this, I prefer a light automatic weapon. (If you can handle its recoil, the hurricane works even better than the lancer, and is probably more ideal, considering it benefits greatly from hunter mode while allowing you to spam your powers).

I like to spec into the 7.5% weapon damage bonus instead of the other option. Neither of those evolutions will make a significant (or even noticeable) impact on your game, but I like knowing that my lancer is doing 7.5% more damage.

Speed and Vision on Hunter Mode is better than the 10% damage, especially for Solos. Otherwise this is exactly how the Geth Engineer should be played.

The Geth Trooper and Engineer benefit more from rank 6 damage bonus. GT has good survivability due to fortification and needs all the damage bonus (especially the non flamer build). GE is dependent on overload so increasing the damage helps and since you can't cast overload through walls, damage bonus makes more sense.
Speed and Vision is the way to go on the GI, I agree.

You make it sound like spamming Overload is all a GE can do. Overload is quite essential, that's true, but one additive 10% bonus among all the others rarely makes a noticeable difference.

My Javelin GT can take most mooks out with a single body shot, and when it can't, a 10% bonus isn't going to change that. Besides, GT is a rare beast in that it's both tough and agile - you should take advantage of that.

On the other hand, better situational awareness and faster movement speed is always useful. You get to spawns faster, you can avoid more fire, you carry pizzas faster, you spot Phantoms earlier. All that matters.

It's 10% more weapon damage and power damage, so it's not negligible (especially considering chain overload).

On a Javelin GT vision range update is kind of redundant and you don't need to close distances or rush to spawns either, which makes the speed increase pointless.
I could also argue that you're doing something wrong, if you got a javelin and need the vision range increase to have more situational awarness.

Because Geth Engineer without Hunder Mode is stupid.

Tried a no fitness version of this build with arc pistol, GPSMG ( power amp and penetration ) and executioner ( heavy damage barrel, power amp, inc ammo )

Conclusion : i felt executioner is better
PS : I have a cooler black/blue theme on my GE

Actually, if you do not zoom in that is more newbish... Zooming in increases the accuracy of the gun

Tried build out this morning on Gold and I am very happy with the destructive mayhem - 2 games Geth and one Collectors. Awesome stun locks but you are right about the build being a bit squishy.

Thanks Stardusk for a fun and informative vid.

I didn't know Gethgineers had two different modes.

Isn't Hunter Mode's damage bonus multiplicative?

I don't think it is. Which is why speed and vision is always the better choice imo. The GE is quite squishy, which makes the speed bonus vital for survivability.

I like to use weapons on my geth that benefit from RoF and accuracy from HM, so I usually equip the Talon, Wraith or Lancer on him.

[OniGanon]

AFAIK Hunter bonuses are additive.

[Ferocious Panda]

I love the geth engineer because there's so many different ways you can build him

Doing a nice LP is demanding, I like it when the LPer manages to share his gaming experience with the audience and give a feel for the game. On most of the 'professional' LP channels that make non-stop LPs, you see the LPer just shіtting stupidity out of his mouth... I have no idea how anyone can watch that kind of stuff for more than 10 minutes.

Good commentary requires duality. A solo commentator will always devolve into a play by play.

HM is arguably the best power in the game. Certainly somewhere in the top five.
