Best Infiltrator Build

Create the best Infiltrator build in ME1 Legendary. Unlock Lift, Assassinate (3x damage), Marksman (+75% damage), Immunity, and Overload.

The Infiltrator in ME1 Legendary is a versatile class blending tech skills with ranged combat. They can debuff enemies with Decryption, Electronics, and Damping, while also wielding Pistols and Sniper Rifles. Defensively, they can use Tactical Armor for medium armor and unlock Fitness for Immunity.

Infiltrator Bonus Talent:

The Infiltrator has access to Engineer abilities like Decryption, Electronics, and Damping, which disable enemy weapons, shields, and biotics. They lack AI Hacking. While Barrier might seem tempting, it's not essential. The Infiltrator gains bonus shields from Electronics and Immunity from Fitness, making Barrier incompatible. The primary weakness is the lack of biotics. Lift is highly recommended as a bonus talent, as it can debilitate enemies, making them helpless and easier targets. To unlock Lift, you must first max out Throw and Lift on another character.

Weapon Talents:

Infiltrators can use Pistols and Sniper Rifles. To unlock Assassinate (3x damage on the next shot), invest five ranks in Pistols and three ranks in Sniper Rifles. Master Assassination further increases damage to 4x. For Pistols, investing three ranks unlocks Marksman, granting a +25% damage bonus (50% for headshots). Master Marksman increases this to +75% damage (+2x for headshots).

Other Talents:

Early on, diversify by investing one rank in Decryption and Electronics to gain Overload and Sabotage abilities. If you have Lift, acquire it as well. Later, invest three ranks in Pistols for Marksman and three ranks in Tactical Armor for Shield Boost. As you level up, focus on Electronics to unlock Damping and Tactical Armor for Fitness to get Immunity. Max out Electronics and Decryption to unlock all items and empower your abilities. At rank 9, both trees offer master-tier abilities. Consider investing in Sniper Rifles for Assassinate and Spectre Training for Unity if your squad is unreliable. For your specialization, max it out; Commando improves Immunity, Marksman, and Assassinate, while Operative improves Overload and Sabotage.
