TLME2SG - Building the Infiltrator

The worst class.

I remixed the audio and uploaded this one again since the music was a little loud. My quarian slave audio editor also had another year added to her contract as compensation.

A couple years back I made a thread on BSN about how Infiltrator was the real worst class in ME2. While that was a bit hyperbolic, I was really just trying to make a point about how it was overrated, especially when spamming Cloak.

I have Arrival posted under "Shocker Infiltrator" which is more or less how I like to run an Infiltrator in ME2, although it is also fun with the same build and shotgun training with the Viper. In the latter case, Squad Cryo is probably more valuable than Disruptor. I had Agent for passive, not entirely sure why. Probably could run that faster if I did it now, but it still shows NS+Incinerate decently. See also "Invasive Maneuvers" Infiltrator style from OniGanon.

With respect to Disruptor or Warp on the Widow, the level 30 basic enemies have about 1140 total shields/barrier + health. If you can get 3 SR upgrades + Headshot upgrade, the Kuwashii visor, and some weapon damage from armor, you can one-shot those enemies with just Level 3 Disruptor or Warp Ammo.

Because of the armor multiplier, Widow can one-shot basic armor enemies (level 30) with no sniper upgrades if given Incendiary Ammo from Jacob.

Also, I have made a repeated error in the series with respect to penetration upgrades, and plan to correct that in a vid. Penetration upgrades are multiplicative, so for the Widow or Mantis, the "50%" armor upgrade actually turns the 1.5 multiplier into 2.25, not 2x (1.5x1.5).
