***** Well, like I said, still doesn't hurt the experience for me, so none the less, great video.

Great video. I'm quite new to multiplayer myself, but this fellow showed up in my free gift pack. Can reliably perform in Silver and even do well against Gold Geth with my current skills. Have to agree with you that a melee and Hex Shield orientated build is a waste of the Juggernaut. It can tank and dish out damage at the same time - doesn't need to restrict itself to just tanking. I've gone a slightly different route to your design. I'm running the defensive Siege Pulse evolutions, and a Reegar Carbine as my main weapon. I go in close, drop a turret, melt enemies with the Carbine and rejuvenate my shields with the heavy melee. I also use the turret to set up fire explosions with the Siege Pulse against the bigger enemies, help restore my shields, kill a few mooks from long-distance, and will throw one out towards team mates who look like they need a helping hand. I've also found the Juggernaut makes a great medic if the team actually sticks together instead of going free-for-all. Being able to get into zones too hot for other characters certainly helps, and the Siege Pulse is great at stopping executions. It's just when my more fragile team mates decide to go rambo on the opposite side of the map and expect me to come rushing to bail them out that things end badly. Frankly I don't yet have the equipment to dish out huge DPS, but I can certainly melt mooks with my Carbine and do reasonable damage to the bosses with the Siege Pulse fire explosions. And of course being a gigantic target helps the rest of the team, especially against those sync-kill enemies.

Got my lancer to 10. FINALLY. Amazing gun with my N7 Slayer.

Oh, and at about 28 minutes in, you complain about being swarmed. There's a way (I think) to deal with that. The Jugg's light melee. It's a single pulse that knocks enemies back (does more damage than the heavy melee, but it's still useless at killing things).

I totally agree with your concepts and points with this build. I just appreciate the damage reduction on mine, because we do Collectors and Reapers on Gold/Platinum all the time now, farming with two of these guys with a 80% chance of a full extraction, just to bring in the cash without glitches and having fun while doing it. (High 5s all around lol) 4 siege pulse shots with damage reduction I run super light, and I wish I had better equipment. I really feel like my weapons are holding me back. My best weapon right now is my Eviscerator IX, which that, along with a level 20 Jug, ain't all bad for only playing for about two weeks now. My build is 3/6/6/5/6 Basically, instead of the final weapons damage boost in "Geth Juggernaut" I put those 6 points in hex shield just to further protect my teammates during the hacking/devices runs. I also, again use damage reduction and the 4 shots, instead of your three... but that's for the team, in mind. I really want to try him out with 3 mini-nuke SPs and adrenaline instead for a solo run :D The damage overall, with a high recharge rate and good power boosters is just incredible.

Love this channel. Glad you are back. I have been jonesing.

god i love the lancer

I know how you feel about hex shield, but lately I've been kind of missing it. I've played with a similar build for the past few weeks, and I feel that the turret just doesnt churn out or take enough damage. Sure, fire explosions are nice, and setting it up next to you in front of a group of enemies can help get some damage out, but sometimes it just gets a few shots off and then gets destroyed, and other times I have to constantly re-place it because most of the maps dont have many great lines of sight for it (firebases giant and glacier, for instance). Whereas the hex shield can be spec'd out to give you a 10% damage bonus just by being up, and portable cover for something that big and slow (that cant take cover) is pretty handy, especially on objective missions. There have been many times where I'm being shot in the back (by an atlas or phantom squad) and the hex shield could have been helpful. I also feel that the turret's healing abilities are absolutely worthless unless fully spec'd out, because, while it does heal you a little bit, it's a drop in the ocean when you have over 4000 shields. Healing teammates seems handy as well, especially on objective missions. Sure, the damage is pitiful, but at least when you rez teammates, you can instantly refill their shields (and you WILL be rezzing teammates as the juggernaut, lol). One last thing, I agree with you when you say that people dont know how to use the juggernaut. A lot of people say they made him a tank, when really, they just made him a meat shield. A tank is supposed to lay down as much damage as it can take, and draw aggro from teammates so that they dont get killed, not sit there and be a big damage sponge heavy melee-ing everything to death.

You don't have pet powers for their offensive capabilities, not outside Silver. No available pet will ever be as effective in combat as the player that spawned it. You should use them to simply support what you are doing, as they don't function well on their own. The Geth Turret really is just their to replenish your shields and prime Fire Explosions. 525 shields every 8 seconds may not seem like much when you have over 5000 shields, but then you have over 5000 shields and some heavy crowd control to boot; you really shouldn't need much more. Unlike Hex Shield, Geth Turret and Siege Pulse can combine for a Rank 6 on Rank 6 Power Combo at range. So you can stop an enemy offensive with overwhelming force from as far as your throwing arm will allow. The Turret's primary attack is also capable of staggering every enemy the Siege Pulse can, and the flamethrower panics them too. Locking up and wiping out groups of enemies this way will do more for your survival than that Shield, and an offensive this strong is (as you said) more fitting of a tank. 21 points is far too large an investment for a mere 10% bonus.

***** I went ahead and tried a hex shield setup. 6/6/0/6/6 Shield Strength Shock Damage Synergy Passives Dam and Cap Stab and Ammo Weap Dam No equipment. On silver, a fully charged geth plasma shotgun (5) and high velocity barrel (4) removed the shields of a marauder with one hit. With the hex shield up and that 10% damage bonus, a fully charged geth plasma shotgun removed it's shields and brought it down to 4 bars of health with one hit. The damage is very noticable, and if I took Duration for the second evolution, I'd basically have a free 10% damage boost to powers, weapons, and melee for 36 seconds at a time. Overall, after playing with it for a bit, I think you are right about the turret being the better choice in the end. But I also think that the hex shield is a viable option with this setup. A portable piece of cover that boosts your damage while protecting you has it's uses. Plus it's fun to drop it just before an atlas missile hits you and feel like a badass.

***** In the situation you described, Hex Shield or not. That Marauder takes two shots to kill. One fully charged, one uncharged. A 10% bonus is not a game changer, but your on the right path using that geth weapon multiplier to get the most out of it. Honestly there's no reason to be using that High-Velocity Barrel unless your High Caliber Barrel is a lower level. The Geth Plasma Shotgun does not pierce. The GPS also needs no other mod than the "Spare Thermal Clip", so you really don't need "Stability & Ammo" in your passives either. That's a great opportunity for you to get more weapon and power damage, with the opposite evolutions of rank 4 and 5 in the "Geth Juggernaut" tree. Still, with the 10% bonus; the Hex Shield is unlikely to block boss enemy attacks from most angles. So pick your poison.

The Claymore is surprisingly good on him with an offensive build. Very easy to reload cancel by shooting off a siege pulse after every time you fire your gun. The Reegar with both armor piercing mods is just stupid damage output from this guy and unlike a lot of other characters out there he can be in the Reegar's effective range without much worry.

This is very late, but you can just reload cancel by pressing the cover button. Since the jug can’t get into cover, it acts as a reload cancel instead

about the shield booster and the cyclonics, they go off your base shields so with this setup you have 5200 and not 5980, and therefore with an additional cyclonic 4 you would get 8200 shields. other than that, great vid as always^^ and finally someone eho uses siege pulse

While I completely agree that a juggernaut should shoot enemies and deal damage as much and as often as possible... I still think that the juggernaut is the most fun when you're pulling so much aggro, that you absolutely need to use heavy melee. Ie. 2 banshees, 2 brutes and a couple of marauders hitting you and the rest of the team, not having to dodge or go into cover... can just unload on the whole mess and every bullet will hit an enemy. ... I'm a tank... I can and should hold down over half the enemies.

+Bwnci Have another question. Have made a few contacts playing on Origin, and one guy likes to have a Jugg around for gold (he usually plays a flamer trooper, so it makes sense I guess). What he usually wants to do is hole up somewhere and have the Jugg frontline while he burns things down. Don't mind doing this for objectives and emergencies, but it sure is boring as hell, using heavy melee while hoping they kill things fast enough that I stay up. I usually will suggest that that we keep moving around the edge of the map if there is some cover to tail out the boss mobs a bit. Kinda dont like playing the Jugg if they want me to tank all the mobs all the time since I can't stop using heavy melee if I want to stay up with a min of 2 banshees and two brutes pounding on me. [Can't even do this with collectors, Pratorians hit too hard with their pointy, stabby-stabby legs :) ] Can you suggest one of your vids that discusses this in detail... that I can point peeps to? I'm mostly getting used to the spawn points on most of the maps, and I'd think that Rio is a problem with its wide open spaces and no cover for a Jug between sides. Hydra somewhat a problem, but most of the others I can find some cover from the ranged stuff that can take me out fast. Oh and just got trolled hard by the store.

On Hardened Rank 6 Power Transfer Decrease all damage Done by 15% is reducing your damage output. It is better to take some thing else if you are going for a power damage dealing build with the trade off of less shields/health. You shields/health are 3100/1550 which is still a tank. -Bankwell

Also the only reason I consider this guy a caster is because I spam the crap out of Siege Pulse. The Talon just helps me take down shields and (when I play in higher difficulties than Bronze - which I'm not right now...re-leveling so that I don't get stuck with Hex Shield points) apply Incendiary ammo, as you had suggested.

Why not use the Geth Spitfire if you're going assault rifles (although with mine, I say screw recharge speeds and rock a Spitfire (with the extra ammo and the heavy melee blade and a Javelin- and the Javelin has the armor piercing mods) And the Juggernaut Amp.

+Edward Collins For all the reasons stated throughout the video.

It really does seem like a safe assumption, considering that everything points to it. I just went into Silver and shot a few mooks with and without the Engineering Kit IV, and it didn't really seem to make a difference...but then again, I suppose it wouldn't. One Siege Pulse seemed to leave an Assault Trooper with 2 bars left either way. Far from thorough testing, but I dunno. I guess I'll just treat it as a placebo. At least there's still extra turret damage.

Loved the gameplay. Regarding enemies getting too close, i noticed you do not use the light melee. That might help, especially when you get swarmed.

One last note: Have you actually tried the Geth Plasma Shotgun on the Jug? If not, you should. In fact, after trying both, I'm convinced that my GPS X ranks head and shoulders above my Lancer I. The math backs me up on this, you'd need a Lancer IX or X to make up for the Geth bonus and damage mod (don't need AP mod) - but who the hell has that? But there's more: *Do it's high per-bullet damage (in fact, only Widow, Black Widow and Javelin are higher), even an unmodded GPS barely looses damage against armor. *Effective at any range *Extremely reliable priming *High chance to stagger enemies *Charged Shot/Pulse/Shoot/Pulse/Shoot/Pulse/Shoot puts out incredibly high burst damage. Then reload-cancel with the Siege Pulse restock. *Ammo supply is plentiful with the mod (and you don't need the slot for anything else) The only downside are Guardians - you have to mailslot them with a GPS, which can be a pain (it's doable, though). Or just melee them, but I know how much you hate that... :P

Checked the challenges and I only had one single Geth Juggernaut Extraction before completing the challenge, I had promoted the Soldier class recently so I said, why not, let's do a Bronze just to complete this and gain a few levels (I stuck the Argus on the Jug because why not), and put a point in Siege Pulse, and one in Hex Shield.

While I agree with *how* you play the Jug, I disagree with the spec. I would always take the damage reduction on Siege Pulse. Why? Because the flexibility and options it affords you trumps the minor loss in DPS. With the Jugs pitiful speed and without the ability to take cover, it's easy to find yourself so swarmed that even your gigantic health pool won't save you. In those circumstances, it's handy to have the option to go into "defensive stance" and hit that shield wall... err, heavy melee. If the team isn't a completely lost cause, you can hold out until they kill some of your attackers, so you can go on the offensive again.

It can also be used offensively with both 4a doing direct damage, and 5a setting up Tech Bursts. You have done a great job with teaching players (or atleast me) about classes, and I love your videos, but you really do Hex Shield a disservice.

I couldn't get mine out because not only was I out of missiles (this was wave 9, I think, and I did a few missiles when I was swarmed by Brutes and Banshees), but with all the damage and stagger, I couldn't get them out even if I had missiles.

+Bwnci -- Also, if I may, there are other ways to use that Hex Crap. 1) it's my reload cancelling button. Because I suck at sniping, I usually build my Juggy defensively and practice missing head shots. 2) If you had the electrified Hex Crap when you got surrounded by Phantoms, a dropped shield and a light melee would have given you enough time to pop an Ops pack and die a shining corpse! ;o) Seriously, on Dagger wave 10 devices, especially against Cerby, that shield is a life saver when a couple of your buddies go down. Just teach puggernauts to put it a little to the left so that everyone might enjoy RHA in the middle of nowhere. Love your channel btw and would love to participate in the Pug Lottery if you need people.

When not playing Platinum (im preparing to do it, just want to get my Particle Rifle to X) the Plasma Shotgun is so powerful with this thing... Spam all of your siege pulses to stagger, shoot the shotgun, take fresh shields from the survivors. Rinse and repeat

I started multiplayer a few days ago and i got the jug in the starter pack you get for free when you start multiplayer. However, how would the geth pulse rifle work out? I have the lvl 2 one and i dont have the lancer yet, are there any other assault rifles you could recomend for newer players? c:

The GPR can certainly work for this build. It has a massive capacity for ammunition, requiring less trips to the ammo box; and an incredible rate of fire which will apply ammo effects really well. The GPR's biggest problem, is its low damage. Fortunately there is a 3x multiplier with headshots on the weapon, and the Juggernaut is capable of increasing the sum total of the weapon's damage by another 5% with his passives. In short, the GPR is pretty good on him and for him. Just be sure to get the "High-Velocity Barrel" attached as soon as possible. You may even prefer both piercing mods for the best damage against armoured targets. Other good weapons, you should acquire early on are; the Tempest, Raptor, and possibly the Incisor (it's been awhile since I used it). However if you bag anymore rare items; try the Collector Rifle, Revenant, or Falcon. The GPS, Graal, Piranha, and Reegar (on small maps) will work; so will the CSR, or even the Krysae at a stretch.

@@Bwnci Hello! OP here been 6 years Still maining Geth infiltrator with the talon Good stuff, things die (alot) Thanks again!

I must admit this is the first guide of yours Bwnci that did not work for me ... i do not know why but i tried your build but i keept dying ... which defies the purpose of the Juggernaut in my opinion ;). I'm running now your alternative tank build with the expeption i use enlarged shields in the last evolution of Hex Shields and i use another gun and consumables. That is to stack additional melee damage which seem to help with draining enemies with the strong melee attack (I seem to regain more shields per tick). So i'm using a Geth Plasma Shotgun with Omniblades for that 50% more meele Damage, Juggernaut Shield ( well it is in the name :p) and as a weapon gear Hydrolic Joints (? ... the one that enhances strength) and adrenalin boost of course. Then i do not (well lets say seldom) fire my Siege Pulses to keep the damage reduction but use the Shotgun a lot (helps that the plasma projectiles seem to home in on emenies). With that strategy i can tank several bosses and suprisingly i'm often not far behind the top ranking players of the match or even on top [EDIT: Gold matches that is].

If your team can’t out score a melee Jug build, that might be why you’re dying. Seems like you’re taking too much damage on, you should always avoid it when possible. A good tank build is designed for frontal assaults rather than just being a damage sponge. With good positioning and damage you will only need to tank your limited mobility.

And sure there are games where you have only damage dealers except me and they know what to do and then they will outdamage me by far, but then again i see that as a sucess for me, cause that means i got all the attention with my Juggernaut by the enemy and the others were free to do damage without beeing pressed by the enemy.

@@Astravall My point is it doesn’t have to be one or the other. You can draw attention, absorb attacks and deal good damage. It’s a horde mode game and it’s not won until all the enemies are dead.

You don't need that much health?? excuse me?? That's exactly why this guy was made, you are supposed to stand still, hold heavy melee, and take a beating from 15 brutes and 23 banshees at the same time while the rest of the team spams flamer and biotic combos behind you. You get overwhelmed without the maximum damage resistance.

@Logdude1126 It's all a matter of skill and game knowledge. The GJ isn't just for playing "Mr Universe" with Brutes. As friend said, "a dead/flattened enemy is an enemy that's not much of a threat". Without any fire coming to you, you'll worry more about how many charges of SP you have left than your shield/life gauge. I play the Quarian Marksman (Soldier) without any cyclonic modulator/shield power cells. With a High-Velocity Indra and armor piercing rounds, and a Punisher for "personal interviews", the courtyard's sparkling clean after the 3rd reload. Being on Dagger, London or Ghost. Skill and knowledge.

@@E1N9A8N0DA Years late but yes. Absolutely agree. Not only is the Geth Jugg’s melee incredibly weak on high difficulties without minmaxing melee dmg, but you don’t even need to tank when the enemies are having a full course meal of the ground and a side of 6 siege pulse blasts. Add some geth turret flamethrower seasoning along with it. Plus I find that a melee/sponge-focused GJ build is rather boring. You’re just standing in place siphoning one enemy at a time when you could be behind your team, giving them buffs from T6 fitness squad command and acting as a siege artillery cannon, replenishing shields with your turret. You’re both a heavy support, healer, *and* damage dealer. The whole package!

+Deathcap Rabadon (Deathcap9087) The Jugg has the health to get in with a shotgun, but not the mobility. Unless your team is in hiding, you're not going to get around fast enough to do a lot of damage on any large map. Assault rifles also make up some of the best weapons in the game due to their damage, range, and ease of use; and there's actually very few shotguns that benefit from the Juggs weapon bonuses. You've setup your Jugg as a tank with the Raider, something multiple other characters can do better and something that really only shines on maps like Glacier. Granted if you got a shivering team of PUGs behind you, you can hold your ground on any map. However if your team knows what they're doing; games on Dagger, London, or Rio to name just a few would be tedious. Drill Rounds are also an odd choice. If in your struggle to carry the team, you are firing through cover to stay alive; you are debuffing your damage by 30% with the HVB equipped. If you are piercing enemies to multiply your damage however, armor-piercing rounds will cover that and produce more damage to multiply. Piercing for multiple hits is key to taking down lots of health quickly. If you know where to shoot you can really stack the incendiary rounds with my load-out. You can see my Human Soldier guide for more details.
