Tech

From Mass Effect Wiki

'Tech' refers to classes and talents based around reverse engineering or hacking various technologies, including hardsuit systems, weapons, and synthetic enemies like the geth. Tech talents are deployed with omni-tools.

[edit] Classes

The three tech classes are Engineers, Infiltrators, and Sentinels. Engineers focus purely on tech abilities but are less proficient with weapons, while Infiltrators and Sentinels split their focus between tech and combat or biotics respectively.

[edit] Talents

Tech talents are particularly useful in Mass Effect as most enemies are synthetic in some aspect. These talents range from destroying enemy shields and weapons, to hacking a synthetic to turn on its own kind, to restoring the health of party members. High tech stats also allow more complex doors and crates to be decrypted, and ensure that the Mako's shields recharge faster.
