Mass Effect Class Analysis: The Infiltrator

I'm the engineer class in my playthrough, and I use sinper rifles a lot. So basically, I'm Infiltrator, but not.

Infiltrator is easy the best class, bar none

I still like this class, similar to Rogues but I honestly thought it would be like Dragon Age (I ❤️ Dragon Age) or KOTOR, basically stealth, lockpicking/hacking, trap disarming, and subterfuge. I love playing the rogue class, I am a rogue IRL.

Infiltrator class = easy mode for insanity difficulty. I usually always play adept (space magic, hello) but after mastering infiltrator, those 2 classes are equally favored.

Infiltrator is the class I had the least fun with. In fact, in ME2, I didn't even finish Act 1 (I quit mid "Recruit the Krogan" mission, and still had to recruit Jack). There's not enough cover in a game with a cover system for the class, the fact that ME2 is notoriously stingy with its ammo drops makes the infiltrator's flexibility pretty much non, and ME's wonky aiming system also messes with accuracy and makes this class much less enjoyable than it should be. This was also my 3rd attempt to play and enjoy the Infiltrator.

Infiltrator is literally the only class in the game that made me quit playing. I cannot state how much I dislike the class.

The infiltrator is my favorite class in the Mass Effect trilogy

Biotics are VERY overrated.
Solider, Engineer or Infiltrator are the overall best classes depending on your preferred play-style.

I’ll always remember fondly my first play through of ME3 (LE), from 2 to 3 as an Infiltrator, doing the Omega DLC, and on the last stretch to save Aria, I literally went invisible, pushed a button, and go invisible again to go to the next button. Skipping all the combat in the thunder dome because I WAS NOT READY FOR IT XD

With Petrovsky and the Cerberus’s forces barks, I had this image in my head of our dear general looking at his forces scattered trying their dammed hardest to find Shepard, only for Petrovsky to look somewhere and see my Shepard quickly typing something on one of the consoles, and before Petrovsky can hopelessly point at him, Shepard looks at him, gives him a “peace” sign, and disappears again as the last lock is disabled.

Infiltrator is simply the best char if you can have AR in ME1
In ME2: Because the shared cooldown, doesnt matter if you have 5 great offense spell, or just one. and incinerate is the best of the best, so i just spam it on insanity because your ammo is nonexistant, and cloack is allways a good escape.
in ME3, Infiltrator is still great

My favorite loadout on infiltrater is the mantis sniper and locust smg

How does cloak let you bypass enemies when your squad mates are right behind you

A small note about the infiltrator in ME2 is that you can obtain 3 sniper rifle upgrades relatively early compared to most weapons, which makes insanity runs easier in the early game sections

In me 3 the wraith and valiant are great picks to do shotgun infiltrator and still have a sniper option for places where hiding corners are scarce. Gotta throw the cash for getting both though.

I like to use Garrus and Vega for maximum firepower and having three ammo-types. Just get in there with your shotgun and geth shield (EDI-matrix-bingbong) and show those bastards what REAL firepower is.

shotgun melee infiltrator on me3 multiplayer platinum was fun as heck

I abused the tactical cloak at my first ME 2 Insanity run. The collector ship almost broke me.

Here me out, presidents rank classes

My last run I did an Engineer run, I think next time I'll try Infiltrator

It's the hardest hitting class at long range. That's why I love it ❤

Good analysis.

Stay vigilant if you play this class on Insanity Mode, tho. While you're practically invincible in ME2, in ME3 Insanity Mode, the cloak is unreliable : a lot of enemies will still attack you.

Cover? What is cover?
-Vanguard mains

Shepard for Smash

I almost never used the cloak. Sniper Rifles, Overload, and Hack was all I ever really needed.

For Mass Effect 3, specing in Shotgun Infiltrator is another fun way to use the class. Granted to get the most out of it, you will need to upgrade the gun you want to use a few times for an ideal weight

can't wait to see the sentinel video, ceep up the good work

Infiltrator is usually the class I pick. I'm trying to branch out and try others, but tactical cloak is just too good.
