Any recommendations on Quarian Infiltrator builds+loadout? I've heard they're good for taking on Gold, and I'm in dire need of money.
I feel like my Level 20 Vanguard, while being amazing in Bronze and Silver, will get decimated in Gold.
Here is what I'm using now:
Weapon: Mantis X (I don't have anything else, but this gives a fast recharge)
I only roll with sniper but you can add a SMG with lighter materials if you want something else to supplement it. On geth maps I find that I don't really need CQB since I can hack and run away. Fighting other races it becomes more problematic since stuff moves a lot faster and can swarm you so you might want to add one. I like to be able to use sabo/cloak faster though and the timing on recharge for cloak and mantis reload is almost perfect.
Sabotage: Duration/Explode on Death/Berserk (hacked units 100% more damage, move faster)
I haven't found the overheat to be that useful. When you're fighting other races the QI isn't that strong so you're better off using another class anyway. 30% more damage isn't a lot and the overheating doesn't last that long. Berserk is mostly so your hacked units can one shot others. A great example is hacking one rocket trooper at a time and he'll one shot other rocket troopers which means you'll have to hack less in genreal.
Tactical Cloak: Duration / Recharge / Bonus Power
Duration is solely for the challenges where you have to deactivate terminals. For sniping you won't really need 13 seconds but 10 is a bit short for getting to a terminal, activating it, and staying cloaked the entire time.
I like bonus power because you can use cloak to snipe but also to sneak around sabotaging stuff. You can get two sabotages off without breaking cloak which is useful for double duty if your team is having problems and only has one person who can sabo. You can also combo it with cloak/sabo/snipe (which I do a lot). Use short melee to cancel out of cloak.
From there you can either build out sticky grenades or get more shield/health. You'll want to get a couple of points for weight to help out with your recharge times as well.
Quarian Infiltrator has very little shield/health so you'll want to regen your shield a lot. The way I do this is cloak and run away to a safe spot, melee to cancel out of cloak then wait for shields to recharge then recloak. With fast recharge times this is pretty trivial so I don't find the health/shield tree to be that necessary.
I personally like sticky grenades for farming because rocket troopers will take one shot to take out their shields then another sniper shot to kill them but the timing is extremely tight and sometimes they can regen a bit of shields. 2 sticky grenades will kill them or 1 sticky grenade after you take out their shields. I like to get proximity upgrade at T6 because it increases radius size and gives you a bit of breathing room on where you have to throw it.
