| Geth Trooper |
|---|
| The Geth Trooper is no different than any of the Cerberus Troopers you've had to fight with except that, perhaps, it's a little bit weaker. They seem to fall even faster than their Cerberus counterparts. Remember that they are susceptible to Overload since they are synthetics. |
| Rocket Trooper |
|---|
| These are an upgrade over the regular Geth Trooper. They have a shield on top of their health and pack rockets instead of the normal assault rifle that the other Geth carry. They're particularly dangerous when mixed in with other Geth because it can be easy to lose track of where they are and get hit by a rocket. These are a great candidate for the Sabotage skill. Since they tend to hang at the back of a group, a single one of these can deal significant damage to the unprotected backs of enemies. |
| Geth Hunters |
|---|
| These are incredibly dangerous and you have to watch very carefully for them. Geth Hunters have a cloak allowing them to turn almost completely invisible. You need to watch for the shimmer of their contours to find them. When you do, hit them with a couple of shots so they become a little clearer and then hit them with an Overload. Once they lose their shields, they shouldn't reactivate their cloak. This is easier said than done, particularly in single player because your allies are complete incapable of seeing them. The advantage you have in single player is that while they are invisible, they still appear on your radar so use this to watch you flanks carefully. If they get up close to you, do everything you can to stun them and get away because they'll be on top of you and be packing a shotgun. If you are an Engineer, a Defense Drone will be able to see them coming and shock them for you. |
| Geth Pyros |
|---|
| Geth Pyros have shields and armor instead of health. When they get up close, they'll unleash their flames and it will be hard to escape in time, especially since it will be difficult to see. Use overload to take down their shields, then use Warp and heavy weapons on their armor. If you are behind them, you can shoot their tanks to conserve ammo but make sure that you don't get caught in the explosion. |
| Geth Prime |
|---|
| The worst of the Geth, the Geth Prime can soak up a lot of damage. When you drain their shields you will still have to go through a thick layer of armor. The concerted effort of an entire squad, however, can drop a Geth Prime in less than about 10 seconds if you really focus. Defeating them takes more of the same tactic as the Geth Pyros except that the Prime is far more tough and damaging. Primes will create both an Auto-Turret and Combat Drone to accompany them at all times. Their weapon is also very powerful and can take you down quickly. When taking on a Prime, take out as many small enemies as you can, then focus your entire squad on the Prime and start backpedaling if it gets to close. And make sure you go for Head Shots on its massive head. |
