I have recently discovered the joys of weapon weight. Carry only a pistol (Carnifex), and your Power Recharge Speed is around +165%. I can chain spam Throw and Warp all day long on my Asari Adept.

Yes, a thousand times yes. I've found the carnifex with scope to be all I need with my vanguard. Rather just keep spamming pull and charge over and over again than have a second weapon I don't even need.

And apparently I've gotten somewhat lucky on unlocking classes/races. Drell vanguard, quarian engineer, asari adept. Would love to get a krogan anything, but I guess I can't be ungrateful.

I should wish for stuff more often apparently. Next vet pack had a krogan soldier in it.

I just got two Krogan Soldiers in a row. I think I'm in love. One game I played with him I got 75+ kills. The majority of those were melee kills.

Had a lot of fun playing with Orgahs again.

Got enough cash to get myself four more vet packs, none of which contained new characters!

Guess I'm just gonna stick with FemInfiltrator for now. I do like the Cloak/Cryo/Sticky Grenade combo.

One thing I really don't like is the smoke grenades. I guess they're good if you've got an assault rifle and just want to spread rounds indiscriminately, but they really mess up my sniper shots.

On the subject of Infiltrators in general: I'm finding they're at their best in a support role. Often CR or Kekvit will rush up with biotics and immobilize enemies, after which I promptly pop off about three or four heads in quick succession while they move on to the moving targets. Also, laying down suppressive fire is a piece of cake up on the bridge on Firebase White. On Firebase Ghost, I tend to struggle more due to the greater need for mobility- taking along the Tempest SMG for quick, close-range firefights is a better choice than the more accurate Locust.

Also, Infiltrators are simply the ideal role for reviving downed teammates and activating the 4 modules during missions. Just cloak, rush in behind enemy lines, revive/activate, and if I'm quick enough I'm often in a safe zone before the cloak shorts out.

Yup, good times. Just maxed out the drell vanguard, will probably try out the krogan for a bit from now on. Overall, we were definitely doing better than the average random teams.

Although I did feel like 3rd wheel at times(especially at White) due to all the havoc being wreaked by CR. At least I got to duke it out with a few of the phantoms on Mars. I've decided that's my new hobby for when I play vanguard.

And I agree about infiltrators. Depending on which race, they've got a few different nice support abilities. Cloaked res is also a plus.

Definitely better than to have them go off camping somewhere trying to rack up kills on their lonesome.

I'd much rather have a Human Infiltrator than any other race. Cryo Blast can help line up those perfect shots, and fully upgraded sticky grenades can turn into sticky landmines for 15 seconds.
