Note:This guide is not for people who want a cliff noted version on how to be an infiltrator, This is a fairly large guide so either read it all, or dont read it at all.
Infiltrator's Guide
In this guide i will cover every possible aspect of an "Infiltrator". Everything from loadout's to tactics. For those who dont know, An "Infiltrator" is a soldier who utilizes the "Infiltration Armor" to gain access to an enemy facility using stealth, and the lowest amount of force possible. An infiltrator is a menace to the opposing empire, A skilled infiltrator can infiltrate deep into the enemy lines and take over an enemy facility without the opposing force having any clue as to what hit them. An infiltrator is also an essential member of a squad. Without an infiltrator, Hacking an enemy facility will be much harder. The plus's too having an infiltrator in your squad are having access to detailed recon, stealth abilities, and otherwise incredibly usefull skill's not accessible by any other squad member.
Infiltrator's Tools
The infiltrator's best friends are his/her tool's. An infiltrator has size for 4 ammo crates. An infiltrator's loadout can be varied in many ways. Although i love to carry a medkit when i am a grunt, It simply isn't going to work out when you are an infiltrator, Besides, A good infiltrator goes un-noticed. Having your inventory open at all times for quick access is a good idea. I utilize an AMP to take out soldiers only when they see me, 90% of the time, The AMP is equipped. I also carry a plasma grenade for an extra punch, along with a REK, and 2 ammo case's (it can get heated).
Infiltrator's ROE(Rules Of Engagement)
When deciding wether or not you are going to engage an enemy, You have to decide what chances you have of taking him out, being discovered, or jeopardizing your mission. When discharging your weapon, You want to make sure it is the right decision, Or else your mission can come to a crashing end quickly. I dont engage unless im detected. It is easy to tell if someone detect's you. Watch there "Body Language". When an enemy soldier is running, and he all of a sudden rotates his body and pulls out a weapon, Your best bet is to come out of the crouch, and run at the soldier weapons blazing. The AMP works much better at close range therefore increasing your chance's of a victory. When you run at the soldier, He become's very easily confused often shooting in the wrong direction. If you are crouched, and the darklight icon appears, Hightail it out of there as fast as you can. If you think you can defeat the enemy, I.E. if he is another infiltrator or a light armor, Run at him again and try to get behind him. So my point is, Dont shoot unless your life is in jeopardy.
Infiltrator's Tactic's.
When you are an infiltrator, Tactic's and stealth are priceless. When approaching an enemy base. Make sure you are crouched and walking. Yes you may be walking for minutes at a time, But when you are crouched, it takes a very skilled eye to get detected. Once inside the base, Survey the area for spitfire turret's and mines. If there are none, You can make your way towards the base entrance. When you do encounter a spitfire turret, crouch, and walk. If you forget to do this, and you are targeted, Stop running, and do NOT shoot back. The spitfire turret will cease fire and if lucky, you will survive. If you do encounter a mine, do not try and disable it if there are enemies around, Taking such a risk is not worth it at all, Instead you can relay the position of deployables back to your commander where he can take that information and relay it to the squad.
After succesfully entering the base, Stay crouched and be aware of your surroundings. Walking in 3rd person view can help tremendously. Also make sure to check your rear. If you do see a soldier, stop, and if possible, run to a corner. When climbing stairs, make sure to stay on the very outside of the stairs to lessen the chance an enemy soldier will run into you. If you encounter a Med terminal or Equipment terminal, take a moment to hack them. When you make it to the control console, Survey the scene again. If you do not see any enemies, SLOWLY make your way towards the CC, If there are enemies inside the CC, wait outside until one is not paying attention or not looking, it may take a few minutes, But you will get your chance. Seize the opportunity and run into the CC and crouch in a corner. Relay the enemies positions and armor type's back to the commander. When crouched, you can move your torso left to right and up and down without being spotted and staying completely invisible.
Now comes the important part, Hacking. It is a great idea to get hacking and advanced hacking certification's when you are an infiltrator. This makes thehackgomuch faster, and can also be very useful as mentioned earlier. When there are no enemies in your immediate area, go towards the CC, get as close as possible, crouch and start your hack. It is a good idea to stay in third person view to watch for enemies sneaking up behind you. If you do encounter an enemy during the hack, Release from the hack and run for cover, I have successfully made it out of the CC with a small amount of health plenty of times because of my reaction to enemy fire. If you do successfully hack the terminal, An influx of enemies will come, Run to a corner and stay crouched and don't move. By this time, Your squad should be covering the CC and you should be home free.
