I started playing ME3 MP again after about a year away. One thing I've noticed is that on a few occasions I've escaped a Banshee's grab kill.

 

It has me grabbed and held up, but instead of being killed, I'm downed instead. I thought maybe someone has killed the Banshee with a rocket but each time, the Banshee is alive. Have they introduced a way to escape the Banshee's kill? Thanks for any help.

 

Also, any tips on the new weapons and classes? Seems like they've added quite a lot over the last year.

To my knowledge, BioWare has not introduced a way for players to escape the Banshee's insta-kill. Possible reasons for your escapes are:

 

1. Other enemies were shooting at you, and you were incapacitated before the Banshee completed the execution-animation (this is the most-likely cause).

2. Internet-lag; sometimes, because of lag, the game will give you a "freebie" escape from an insta-kill.

3. If you are fortunate to have your Cobra Missile Launcher equipped when the Banshee grabs you, sometimes you can squeeze the trigger in time to save yourself.

 

These three examples have been my experience. If anyone knows anything else, then please share!

I think if you can stagger the Banshee she will drop you or the squadmate, at least in single player.

 

I haven't played MP enough to know.

Most likely explanation is that something else killed you before she finished her impalement.

There is a damage amount that will cause the Banshee to drop a player if they are picked up.  This can either be met by other players doing damage to the Banshee, or possibly by DOT damage effects cast by the player prior to being grabbed.

Doesn't this only apply when you are alive when she drops you? The OP was talking about being grabbed, dieing, but the death was not perma-death, only mostly dead.

 

Edit: on second read, perhaps he was not dead when dropped.

You can be downed while being grabbed. This prevents the insta-kill. Banshees only grab vividly pulsating hearts from their prey's chest.
