Zero fitness,of course. It's not worth it, with their base health/shields. You're dead no matter what if you're ever caught with your pants down.
The Merc and Engy are very underrated... nothing like trolling Geth with your pets. I usually run the Scorpion on them.

Play against Geth, get used to the cloaking feature and use it to your advantage. Use both decoys to conceal your presence even more. He's the puppet master and pulls all the strings from the background. Strong gun recommended.

I run no fitness with him, although, three points into Decoy and 5 into Fitness is also another great way to play this character. You really want both Decoy and Combat Drone, not just one of them, because this character is meant for distracting and spawn controlling. You can make Geth Primes look stupid, but note that Dragoons are very resistant to decoy-like powers which means they'll come for you regardless. Right now, I run this!

6/6/6/6/0 bulid Since the pets are specced for explosion, you will get FEs for days.
... wait, pet explosions can detonate tech combos ? I did not know it... if it's true then he is better than I thought. I might try something with a stagger/aoe weapon then, Venom maybe.
I like the idea of running a Claymore on a volus too, that's already how my protector roll (with bat gauntlet too obviously). Same with infinite ammos weapons... I'll try everything. Except the Arc Pistol, because I use it too much on other kits
Not sure about the no fitness thing. I know, fitness is for scrubs, but I'm a scrub (and a pyjak). I don't have tons of cyclonics to waste.
Thanks for the ideas !

Yeah sure , just prime the enemies with - lets say - Incendiary Acolyte... ofc they have to be still primed while the decoy/drone explodes. It's really hilarious to watch those stupid Geth Bombers literally destroying themselves.

I prefer to run with zero fitness, cos' the difference between 0 and 6 points in fitness is the difference between 100 health/500 shields vs 248 health/825 shields... so not so much, especially since I always use cyclonics on this dude. But my friend is running a full fitness ClaymoreVolus with Adrenaline Module 3 , and it still works ![]()

Those cyclonics are a waste anyway. Much better to roll zero fitness with AM3. Use cloak and just roll on with the chubby.

As far as I'm concerned ... if you don't chuck a Typhoon on him, you're doing it wrong ![]()

It makes phantoms go nuts and drop their pants.

Just an amazing class vs the Geth. For some reason I never thought about Husars recommendation of using melee to get out of line of sight and then case decoy. That's a great tip. I also used the particle rifle for him and it was reasonably effective.

As much as I love the PPR, I cant seem to make it work on the little tiny volus. Probably my favorite gun on a lot of other characters, just not him. Probably like Dunvi, ramp up times. I love this character, and it is an absolute blast to play once you figure him out. It was one of the last character I did the challenges for on the Botb banner, and I am a little disappointed I waited so long. I run the Lancer or CSMG with IA or AP depending on the team.

Basically a free TC with no damage bonus. When I get on a volus kick I sometimes find myself light melee'ing with an Infiltrator while trying to cloak.

I use Hurricane and Incendiary ammo.
Cloak and run to/into a group and drop decoy run away and shoot, spam drone and lap up those FE.
