I have allot of experience with the GE and he is one of my MAIN characters.

 

Im using a no fitness build sacrificed shield for offensive capability and a rush down play style which suits him well and generaly can compete with infiltrators if you know your stuff...when low on shields swiftly toss in your turret it will replenish your shields.

 

Overload: pick triple chain overload and spam as much as you can.

Geth Turret: i opted for damage + flame thrower

Huntermode maxed with ROF and weapon damage

Basically all his other ranks are based on headshots and weapon damage.

 

Excellent weapons for him:

 

GPR + incidiary ammo 3 or 4 and equip a power amplifyer 3 or 4 not only will it strengthen your oberload but also your turret and flamer. Toss this turret in crowded enemy locations and start firing and spamming overload you wouldnt believe how much utter desructions you can achieve by that and the plenty fire explosions as a result which nets you an extra damage bonus. Remember Hunter mode gives you a healthy damage bonus on both overload and turret as well as weapon damage.

 

Crusader with phasic, armor piercing or warp vs reapers (warp rounds are effective vs phantoms.

To cope with phantoms toss in your turret at medium or longer range this will put up her bubble 2 or three headshots and she is dead.

Overload can not be spammed use it for easy headshots you can kill up to 3 mooks with this tactic with ease.

 

Spitfire = double the damage output of the gpr but heavy its extremely effective with either armor piercing 3 or 4 or incidiary ammo 3 or 4. Caution pick a place where you have fairly good cover and good view to enemy locations. Overload should then be used to stagger or ignite fire explosions.

 

Scorpion this is a fun weapon to use always equip an extended mag this nets you 7 shots and equip the HEAVY barrel with turret and overload spam its a sure way to lol your way through the waves and always aim at the feet.

 

Wraith another great weapon to equip on the GE same approach as with the crusader overload = easy headshots equiping a accuracy mod for the wraith is advisable and the heavy barrel.

 

If properly used the GE can score first with ease the GE with GPR on a platinum match with good team members is a force not to mess with ive played with a friend and we use the same gear and weapons ie GPR and spamm the Sh*t out of everything with overload making any mook hard to progress giving enough time for the other team member to finish them of plus our turrets where placed at strategic places.

 

Hope this helps.

Recently I have been playing him with the GPR for a bit of fun.  Still works ok w/ IA glitched stacking. 3/6/6/6/5 more of a skirmisher I guess you could say, with Turret to help with DOT attacks mainly, and sometimes help the squad.

 

I have used a variety of builds on this character over, and there probably isn't a single right answer.  I haven't had maxed Turret in a while though, I don't think that the shield restore from Turret completely replaces Advanced Hardware, since that has pretty decent bonuses to shields and also regen delay..

 

Hunter Mode itself makes the GE above average in the weapons department if you take the accuracy bonus.  Networked AI Geth bonuses are also ok for GPS, Javelin and even the GPR.  Only downside is that going pure damage in Networked AI and accuracy in HM is that Overload recharge is over 6s with Javelin X... so pretty slow.  You can of course go Power Recharge in Hunter Mode +/- Capacity in Rank 4 NAI, although the former doesn't help you if you run other weapons, and the later can negatively affect some TTK breakpoints, especially if you also take Power Damage at Rank 5.

Back when I first started playing and halving my shields was a death sentence I spec'd him as the ultimate support character.

 

No Hunter Mode + Stronghold Package & Cylconic

Pure healing Turret

Chain Overload for crowd control and detonating team mates Tech powers

Cryo Rounds to slow enemies and weaken armor

Geth Plasma Shotgun for staggering Phantoms

 

It's a fun build. Helping others can be rewarding.

Supp... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT!?!?!?!?

Okay that being said... I roll with a 4/4 split in turret and fitness and with my trusty talon... He is downright ridiculous against Cerberus and geth, and still awesome against everything else.

Against Cerberus, TTK is ludicrously similar to the GI's...

Again *im* calling him a suppprt class, *you* can playhim as you wish. I akin the GE to a DAOC Cleric, or even a Paladin. Sure you can go full DPS but if I wanted to DPS I'd play a N7 Paladin or Slayer. Sometimes I *want* to play support. Shoot I play A Volus for this same reason!

Thanks for the help!

I'm sorry. For me GE has way better DPS than both Slayer and Paladin. Volus isn't a support class either. But you can play however you want, but no way I can agree with that statement.

GE Talon is almost as good as GI Talon IMO..strap AP ammo it's just as good vs Collectors and Reapers.

Admittedly, he is a bit weaker than the GI against reapers and collectors, cause obviously his dps is way lower. However, against geth and Cerberus, the difference is so minimal due to the low average HP of most units, that it feels like I'm playing a GI. Except without tactical cheat.
Recently discovered, he's jumped right up among my favourite classes.

Not surprisingly, GTS tank build also isn't too shabby with the Talon against Geth or Cerberus...

66660 with any weapon, ammo depends on weapon and mood.
GT full healing
OL chain, NS, shield with everything and chain with disruptor
HM acc, RoF, speed&vision
Passive weapon, hs, weapon

My favourite atm is a disruptor Wraith, but I love him with so many weapons.

GE is such a brobot and I <3 him.

I simply build like this.
 
I know that GPR is not the best weapon but it really fun for me when using vs geth especially combine with incendiary ammo+overload.
 
Adas also a good choice.

This guy is AWESOME and I do not consider him a support class at all. I spec into turret with flamer, double chain overload, and use a Lancer with Incendiary ammo.  Spray bullets on everything and spam overload.  The amount of fire explosions is ridiculous, staggering the enemy as your turret and Lancer clean everything up.  VERY Platinum viable and so much more fun than the GI (although GI will win in terms of DPS in the right hands).

 

Oh, try him against Cerberus this way.  It's where he really shines.  Killing Phantoms with a fire explosion is the most satisfying kill in the game to me - even more than Batarian punching a bad guy off a cliff.

The Batarian adept can also be played this way but with using warp as the detonator.  and equip Incendiary for extra Incendiary/warp glitch damage.

How do you all play the kit ?

 

What weapons do you recommend?  When to use Hunter mode? what consumables and gear do you use with him? I used omnicapacitor V and used incinerary ammo then the ammo for electric combos.

 

6/6/6/4/4 bulid + Talon/Raider/Indra/Harrier/Wraith. My preferred gear is Assault Loadout, Weapon Amp or Barrage Upgrade (Hurricane only). Use Incendiary ammo for FE. Find a nice spot that gives you good RHA and long LoS, cast a turret, shoot things. Repeat the process every 5 - 30 sec

 

Aha, HM is always ON ;)

I'm still learning the ropes on gold but this is how I run my brobot, except I use Incendiary rounds & omnicapacitors. I try to stick close to the group then heal with turret & neural shock/fire-splode mooks/bosses.

 

Probably not the best way to play him, but we've been through many scrapes together & had a blast whilst doing it. :D

I use it either with an Arc Pistol (if want to kill things quickly) or a Falcon (if I want crowd control and laugh).

Hunter mode increase the ROF of the Falcon, and with disruptor ammo + chain overload + flametrower turret it 's ridiculously good against gold geths. You can stunlock entire spawns, and you will get tons of assists.

I got a Killstreak once against a spawn of hunters and rocket troopers, with tech burst/fire explosion.

It's funny and effective too with cryo or incendiary ammo.

First I want to give props to the DAOC ref...I loved that game, and I was Albion all the way, so I totally get the analogy. *sigh* memories...

 

Anyway totally took this guy out in some pugs last night rocking GPR and GPSMG...one of the pugs w/ an N7 sub 1k who was obviously playing with a friend decided to talk smack about my set up. I know the weapons are redundant, but I like to gear up using lore friendly weapons with the characters. I did throw my mic on the end when my score was double his, and asked if he still thought my set up was garbage. No response, just quit.

Harrier, 4 ranks in the healing turret, and double chain with a power amp to one-hit strip a phantoms shields. Throwing the turret to by your next firing position before you arrive allows you to take more hits and play more aggressively.

Also it's really obvious that all the people who are going 'support lol' didn't read the OP.
