arf, couldnt believe GI i guess  Yes, unit nitrous traded her cheesy GTS for an even more cheesy GI, but uses the fact that with the Javelin it requires a bit more skill as an excuse - you actually have to learn how to hit things with that gun first. 2. inhate piercing makes piercing mods good on the jav. Either that or more bullets. U can reach 4 m penetration with no damage penalty. Ap distances stack, ap penatly is the one of the more favorable mod. If u take ap rounds, u still get that damage penalty, except for inhate piercing guns ...and this means that if I equip both piercing mods (HVB and vanilla AP) AND AP ammo IV, I will NOT nerf myself, because Javelin has a 1 m innate penetration, right? 3. With jav the bubble is quite good as u get double hits with one penetration mod. I think u need around 1.8 m penetration Yeah, and they stand still so that even a very lame sniper can line up a headshot, but the problem is that a Platinum Phantom won't die after the "cloak - proximity mine - bubble - headshot" cycle. But maybe that's because I was trying to do that without SR Amp V as my Gear, so I'll test that as well. Inci is also very good on GI, as u can proxy for FE and reload cancel The kit that can do it all, with anything - the GI! Yeah, that's right, GI is arguably the best kit in the game in terms of weapon damage, and sure can handle pretty much anything, even the mighty Shuriken without ammo or rail amps - but I'm using it solely as a Javelin platform, hence the questions.  I know that in terms of effectiveness Javelin is probably not the best weapon choice for this kit, but it's definitely great and stylish, so, I'm not planning to swap that pinnacle of Geth weaponry for anything else. |

Here I am again with my n00b questions. Long tome no see.
This time, it’s all about force. Does the Proximity Mine have any force attribute, and if yes, what is the basic value for it?
Because as I’ve been playing my GI a lot (who knew), I noticed that sometimes it staggers things, and sometimes it just won’t do anything for me. Might be an off-host issue though, because the best ping I can get is usually around 130 ms.

base force 300H. This is a little bit, besides, mobs have a resist to repeat stagger for 5 seconds Thanks a lot for letting me know! That's not much indeed - I just was wondering if that was enough to stagger Dragoons, because they seem to stagger just fine on Gold, but on Platinum they don't care about any Proxies at all. Ofc it has force,but the staggering stuff absoultelly depends of your build. This is my build and with this you will stagger every mook kalence.weebly.com/me3-builder.html#55!511!411!!5DFA5 Just see the proxi mines build. The other part doesn't matter. Roger that, thanks a lot for letting me know! It's just that I'm a sniper, so I need those full 6 points in the Tactical Cloak, so the only place I can take those points off is Fitness, which shouldn't be too critical - might try that suicidal build out. |

but remember - geth without shields = dead geth =P you will feel it when the Marauder Shields will shoot at you, and the warp Banshee will eat your 250 health In general, the 6th rank of proxy mines makes sense with a shotgun, etc. because It helps at close range. Sniper can do without it. Can proxies debuff bubbled crabs? I'm not sure that this is possible when he is already bubbled, did not test it. better try to do this when the crab does not have a blue mist around, then it will not include protection. well, or use a proxy mine so it would be the crab was not pointing frame. |

Tested the proxy thing with in-game tools, debuff does work against both bubbled crabs and Banshees. Didn't test against Phantoms but probably works as well. Btw. muahmuah xelander mobs have a resist to repeat stagger for 5 seconds This explains that Phantom problem I had recently. |

You can stagger them countles times with charge,but with mines is another story. |

My ME allotted fucks to give are elsewhere at the moment, but here is an experiment you can do:
Take the Falcon and a timer, start shooting at a phantom's feet, and see if this assertion holds up.
It could be that mooks have a fail-safe against being held in stagger for more than 5 seconds. But if you can't kill a basic mook in that time, you've got other problems...

I'm going to call that into question. and it is right that you doubt it, because I didn’t quite remember about that thing. ~ 5s holds for bosses. on platinum is the same. An old video, but here's a variant with knocking down pieces of armor This is called - “you almost never play for a long time, but you love talking about the game”

Phantoms can break from a non-stop streak of charges and Falcon shots (the CA_Reaction_Stagger note disappearing for a split second) so some limits do exist:
This can be reliably reproduced.

What is the easiest way to solo Gold? I started playing this game like a week ago and I tried to solo Gold with my Geth Infiltrator but I feel like I just keep dying and end up using all of my medigels on wave 1. I heard that the Geth Infiltrator is one of the best classes to solo with but for some reason I can't stay alive with that character.

What do you mean? I've mostly been playing Andromeda and thought I would give Mass Effect 3 a try as well. I find it very different from Andromeda so I could really use some help.

I heard that the Geth Infiltrator is one of the best classes to solo with but for some reason I can't stay alive with that character. GI is really strong, but it requires a bit of practice. Easier way? Krogan Vanguard vs Geth on White. Disruptor ammo on Wraith or Venom. Maybe there's an easier shotgun one could use, but only scrubs use it. Really tanky, and you can use biotic charge to regenerate your shields. Though I heard the most beautiful and cool people use a Volus Sentinel and spam drones and decoys in order to confuse the poor toasters... |

I haven't unlocked the Krogan Vanguard or any Volus characters yet. I am trying to use the Geth Plasma Shotgun on the Geth Infiltrator and it worked fine on Bronze and quite well on Silver, but on Gold I've been getting my ass kicked. Would really appreciate any advice I can get on how to make that character and weapon a valid combination on Gold too.

I heard that the Geth Infiltrator is one of the best classes to solo with but for some reason I can't stay alive with that character. Geth infiltrator is better without Hunter Mode. Skip it and max Fitness instead. Why is that better? I've been maxing Hunter Mode on my character so I can see enemies and run away before they get a chance to swarm me. On Hunter Mode I have Power Recharge, Power Damage and Speed & Vision. On Proximity Mines I have Damage, Slow and Recharge Speed. On Tactical Cloak I have Duration, Recharge Speed and Sniper Damage. Basically I am focusing a lot on power damage and recharge since I feel that if I can cloak more often then the enemies won't see me and I can get away from them easier. Basically I use Hunter Mode to see if enemies are getting close, then I fire a Proximity Mine on the ground to slow them down and do some damage and then I cloak and run away. I feel like that's a valid strategy since my shotgun does crap damage. However, against shielded enemies it becomes a problem since I actually have to get out in the open to shoot them since their shields recharge and my Proximity Mines don't do enough damage to kill them. Whenever I get out in the open like that I just die instantly on Gold... EDIT: Just realized I have the sniper damage option in tactical cloak. Maybe it would be better if I used a sniper rifle instead of the geth plasma shotgun? For instance I have the Raptor that I could use instead?
