Geth Shock Trooper

From Mass Effect Wiki

The Geth Shock Trooper is an advanced Geth Trooper instantly recognizable by its white armor. It carries a pulse rifle like other geth, has four levels of shielding and is extremely resilient. Shock Troopers have Geth Barrier, Carnage and Shield Boost talents. As in the case of the Geth Trooper, the appearance of a Geth Barrier is usually an indication that the Shock Trooper is near death.

[edit] Deployment

The Geth Shock Trooper is not only a heavy infantry unit, but also a capable engineer. As seen on Eden Prime, they are capable of setting up and arming large explosives. On the battlefield, they make up nearly half of the geth ground forces.

[edit] Tactics

Shock Troopers are encountered in most geth battles, supporting the grunt Geth Troopers. Shock Troopers will initially use Carnage to destroy shields, then slowly advance while firing. Attack them with Tungsten Ammunition and use Damping to prevent them repairing their shields.
