Infiltrator | Character profiles Mass Effect: Andromeda Guide
Last update: 11 April 2017
The Infiltrator is the last hybrid profile available in the game. It focuses on the usage of abilities from both Tech and Combat trees, making it perfect for those who are investing skill points in both of those skill trees. It requires 3 / 12 / 27 / 50 / 78 / 116 points invested in Tech and Combat skill trees to unlock 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th / 5th / 6th level of this profile.
Note - remember that you have to invest the required amount of skill points in both skill trees; it cannot be a combined value. It means that if you want to unlock, for instance, the 3rd level of Infiltrator, you have to invest at least 27 points in Tech and 27 points in Combat.
Below you can find a table showing all of the passive bonuses given to the character when the profile is active, from the first to the sixth level of the Infiltrator profile.
Stat | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 | Level 6 |
Weapon Accuracy | +20% | +25% | +30% | +35% | +40% | +45% |
Weapon Stability | +20% | +25% | +30% | +35% | +40% | +45% |
Tech Recharge Speed | +20% | +25% | +30% | +35% | +40% | +45% |
Weapon Headshot / Weak Point Bonus | +10% | +14% | +18% | +22% | +26% | +30% |
There are several things worth noting when it comes to the data presented in the table:
- Tech Recharge Speed - this parameter influences the time needed for a Tech tree ability to recharge after using it. For instance, ability with recharge time of 10 seconds and 20% Tech Recharge Speed on a character will have its recharge time reduced by 2 seconds, requiring 8 seconds to get off cooldown.
- Weapon Headshot / Weak Point Bonus - this parameter influences the amount of damage dealt when hitting an enemy's weak point. In most cases a weak point is simply the head of the enemy.
This profile gives access to two additional abilities. Battlefield Awareness allows you to mark enemies hidden behind walls, provided that you aim at them with a scope. Once it happens, an enemy will be visible from behind a wall. Cloak Evades allow your character to disappear for a brief moment each time you perform a dodge. It works similarly to the Tactical Cloak ability from the Tech tree, without the damage buff, of course.
The Infiltrator profile is a perfect choice for a player creating a sniper-assassin character. Enhancing weapon accuracy and stability will allow you to pick out targets from longer distances and while hovering above ground, Tech Recharge Speed will decrease the recharge time of the Tactical Cloak ability and a bonus to weak points is always welcomed. With this profile, as well as proper section of abilities (like, for instance, Tactical Cloak mentioned multiple times in this chapter), you will be able to take out most enemies with a single bullet.
