The Heavy Pistol's and Sub-Machine Gun's are adequate back-up guns, and I often rely on my Locust SMG (from Kasumi's DLC) to kill most enemies to conserve on sniper ammunition. This, coupled with me sniping, quickly kills off enemies with ease. I like to focus on Disruptor ammo, Incinerate, Operative and my bonus power (I always choose Slam) These abilities, when maxed out, allow me to quickly shred through all defenses, while allowing me to cripple and greatly damage enemies through Slam (which has a 3 second recharge rate once fully upgraded). Let me give you an example of how I use it. Weapon wise, it has a respectable load out, having the Sniper Rifle, Heavy Pistols, Sub-Machine Guns, and Heavy Weapons. It makes you temporarily invisible, and if you decide to shoot someone while cloaked you deal additional damage, even more so if you're using a sniper! Tactical Cloak is another powerful move, which is exclusive to the Infiltrator class. There are also moves that address other types of enemies, such as Incinerate which is made to burn away enemies armor, or even deal massive damage to organics without protection. Against enemies with shields or who are synthetic, abilities such as the Disruptor Ammo, which tears through synthetics and shields, & AI hack, which rewrites synthetics briefly to fight for you, both help even the odds against synthetics and engineers (and normal shields).

The Infiltrator class is well balanced, with an emphasis on electrical and synthetic modes of combat. Why? To me it is the most well rounded class out there. I always pick the Infiltrator class when starting a new game. Mass Effect 2 I'll explain how I use the Infiltrator class, and why you should too!
