I'm going over different characters, deciding which one is the best shotgun platform, and so far AIU wins by far, with GI being second and Human Soldier close third. Did I miss anyone? Is AIU in fact the best shotgun user?

I haven't explored characters with biotic powers + warp ammo, though.

 

AIU

GI

Hsol

N7 Destroyer

 

On a side note: the description of many ammo types (incendiary etc.) says "+10% / 20% / 30% damage", but Kalence doesn't show this damage increase. Why?

Turian Soldier and Quarian Marksman.

 

Enjoy your pellet based sniper rifles that don't have hipfire penalties.

Depends on the Shotgun.

Reegar GI will lose to the Reegar AIU.

Piranha GI will triumph over Piranha AIU.

Venom, Claymore, Raider, Katana, GPS etc.. will still be better on the GI than the AIU.

Because Hunter Mode, RoF & Vision combined with Proxy Mine debuff outclasses the AIU's single rank 6b of Tactical Cloak.

This. The TSol is better, but I prefer the Quarksman because I'm a scrub who needs a dodge.

The GI is the best shotgun Infiltrator, unless you're packing the Reegar. Take Proximity Mine to rank 5 so you can get the Damage Taken evo, as this is what turns a great kit (Cloak + Hunter Mode) into a fantastic one.

Take Proximity Mine to rank 5

How do you do that? 6/5/5/5/5? I don't like not taking Fitness 6...

4/5/6/6/5, or 4/6/6/6/4 if you want to kill a Platinum Prime's Drone with one cloaked mine. No need to go past 4 on Cloak if you're not using a sniper rifle on him.

Standard shotgun GI is something like this:

The idea is to kill things dead so it's not necessary to take fitness all the way out. If you are a true believer you go zero points in fitness.

With 13.5 seconds recharge that particular kit looks useless. Needs a lighter shotgun.

But what's the point of taking both cloak and mine if you can't combine them? Need cloak 6a, IMO.

Cloak > Mine > Shoot. Enjoy your three second cooldown, regardless of what the menus say. That 13.5-second cooldown only happens if you let the cloak run for it's entire duration.

This is a short-ish video I uploaded a long time ago that uses the build me0120 linked. Technically it's a fails compilation, but you should be able to get the idea.

And don't take advantage of no-weight barrel.

If you break the cloak right away then you get a recharge of 3 seconds regardless of weight

And the damage bonus lasts 2.5s after cloak ends so you just cloak mine shoot repeat

Be nice, guys. Theyre new

Hmm, I didn't realize...

2.5s after cloaking or de-cloaking?

 

What if I interrupt cloak manually by pressing cloak button again, will I get 13 or 3 seconds cooldown?

3 seconds.

If you interrupt the cloak manually, you will get the 3 second cooldown (although I think it scales with the amount of time spent cloaked)

The damage bonus from cloak will persist for an additional 2.5 seconds after performing the action that caused the cloak to break.

That's what I always thought, thanks for clarifying.

Claymore GI being useless is always funny.

I would also think the Vanilla Human Soldier would be close DPS wise given the damage bonuses of AR

I would never even try any infiltrator with s heavy shotgun if you wouldn't explain the trick with cloak cooldown time.
