Maybe you meant as far as Cerberus goes.
turret is more troublesome than phantoms. at least phantoms worth a lot of score, and when you're using a shotgun class you will love to see phantoms coming at you.

Ever kit is a shotgun kit in my book, and I always love to see phantoms coming at me- I usually run to meet 'em! ![]()

indeed.
Well at the very least when a Turret is turned on the Engineer is kind enough to yell "Device Online!" They're nice like that.
Phantoms though? Sneaky one-hit kill bastard that can all of a sudden appear behind your back or around the corner without warning.
My personal "kill them with extreme prejudice" list:
Cerberus: Phantoms and Dragoons.
Reapers: I don't really dislike anyone in here... except maybe Banshees and their scream, especially in Platinum........
Collector: Plague Seeker Swarm and Seeker Swarm in general. As an extension to them, Collector Captains.
Geth: those ****** Prime drones and multi-tap Rocket Trooper.
Geth: those ****** Prime drones and multi-tap Rocket Trooper.
Nothing in this game makes me rage like rounding a corner or sticking out of RHA just an inch too far and getting pounded in the face by 8 rockets (all from the same rocket cheater)... or getting humped by a couple of the Primes stupid little pets. Just reading this thread makes me want to drop in on a Geth GiP with Armored Compartments just to nuke everything I see then immediately leave.
Reapers: Ravagers - because pugs don't realize what a priority they should be. Plus the goo.
Geth: Hunters - hard to target them with powers, feels like they randomly develop insane damage reduction - I've gone one on one with them before and lost....
Cerberus: Phantoms - disturbingly lethal and both long range and melee, kits pretty much have to be build specifically to have methods to deal with them
Collectors: Captains - Swarms. Plagues. Enough said.
Possessed Scions - they REALLY need longer cooldowns on their grenades, especially if there are multiple possessed Scions at once.
Oddly, I feel like Collector pugs would actually be easier if all the abominations where possessed. Mostly because people actually try to get out of their blast radius before killing them, but happily kill non-possessed ones at point blank. Of course, this is assuming a lack of trolls, which is an unreasonable thing to ask of us!
I, uh, may have, once upon a time, lashed a possessed abomination into the extraction zone with just a couple seconds left on the clock...
May have...
I'm not a troll - but I'll blow people up using Abomi's any chance I get (provided I can revive them afterwards). That's not nearly as dickish as getting your team fried in the incinerator.

Hahaha yep.
I think on Gold and Platinum the amount of shield you have doesn't matter right when you suffer a rocket attack right? Since it will deplete all your shield regardless. Maybe not for Juggernaut though... I never actually use one so I don't know, but it seems like a single rocket attack is always enough to zap all my shield to oblivion regardless of what characters I use.
And the Prime Drones are just.......... rugggggggggggggggggggh. Double the fuckery since it's also like, very shameful, when the killfeed mention Laughing Banana is killed by a Drone Turret, argggggggh. Their stagger too arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhh.
I however still rank Geth above Cerberus as a whole, simply because Cerberus has Turrets, Phantoms, and Dragoons.
.........wait, but Geth has Geth Hunters too................................ urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Any Cerberus unit is the worst.
Banshee
Phantom
Prime
Praetorian
Hm. I was about to say something like marauder, phantom, hunter, captain/swarm, but your post got me wondering. I probably just think that I go down more often to burst fire from mid-tier units (centurions also come to mind) because it's so embarrassing and infuriating when I do. No shame in being killed by cover-penetrating butt-lazors or double-prime drone-stagger-siege-canons or that warp that navigated the whole level to hit you just when you turned the corner, right. Banshees and praetorians are probably the worst because of how they force you to abandon good positions, and take so damn long to kill, what with power damage denial and all. I definitely hate the phantoms above anything else, though.
Cerberus: Phantoms if I'm not using either Stasis or a shotty (or both for that matter), otherwise, it's those stupid Dragoons
Reapers: Not really any worth mention, but if I had to choose, Banshees
Geth: None, if I'm Krogan. The rest of the time, those stupid Prime pets
Collectors: Seekers on power based kits, and Praetorians the rest of the time. This one was a tough choice though because I hate all the Collectors equally.

I've never heard that line ever. ![]()
Geth Turrets and the people's elbow from marauders/hunters.
Hahaha yep.

Yep, they insta-shieldgate most kits, meaning the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rockets which hit a split second later (again, all from the same ******* rocket cheater) put you on the ground faster than you can blink.
.........wait, but Geth has Geth Hunters too................................ urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Exactly. If it was just the Primes... or just the rocket cheaters... or just the hunters... or the bombers... it would be one thing, but the intolerable, annoying BS just never ends with those flashlight bastards. ![]()
Exactly. If it was just the Primes...
Careful there... XD
Yeah ok I might have gone too far there. ![]()

I always thought it was "Defenses online!", but come to think about it, Device does make more sense... I also think they have another line to same effect, but I can't remember it for the life of me atm.
They'll also call for support if you start shooting at them(or they start setting the turret down), because really, they need it. And I'm happy to give it to them, in a form of Claymore shot to the face, point blank
Really, killing engineers is always a bunch of fun!
I know I never heard those lines before I didn't start paying attention, but they are there. It's what makes the game against Cerberus so much fun... once you start killing them, you can almost feel the panic starting to spread through their ranks... and it's the sweetest of feelings.
I'm guessing you mean most difficult.
Cerebus: Dragoons or Phantoms
Geth: Hunters... for the love of GOD, Hunters.
Reapers: Mauraders if you're not ready for them. Banshees if you are.
Collectors: Possessed Scions or Possessed Abominations.
Reapers: Banshees who teleport through walls and try to make out with you.
Cerberus: Dragoons, because they are stupid.
Collectors: Possessed Scions, by a mile. Especially when you're using a class with no dodge.
Geth: All of them. Especially Hunters, because they do things like shoot you when they are frozen, shoot you when they're ragdolled, shoot you when they're dead, and absorb point blank headshots like nothing hit them if you shoot during the wrong part of their cloaking process.
I'm guessing you mean most difficult.
It was sort of ambiguous- I read it more as most annoying than most difficult.

Which I totally did once while there was a hack objective in there. ![]()
I've never heard that line ever.
Play solo - you'll hear comments you never heard before. Just don't pick infiltrator for it will just trigger "Objective lost! Objective lost!" spam all the time. You'll maybe see an engineer repair turrets and Atlas, too. In team matches I only saw this happen ONCE (they probably die too fast).
