Eclipse Engineer



Eclipse engineers are the tech specialist for the mercenary organization Eclipse. They are exclusively human and salarian they possess shielding on normal difficulty and will gain stronger shielding on higher difficulties, they also possess tech armour. They� are capable of using the tech abilities� incinerate and can deploy combat drones stripping away armour� and creating extra threats and forcing squads out of cover.

Engineers are armed with M-6 Carnifex hand cannons giving them a considerable punch in combat. Engineers are a dangerous opponent in combat they are fielded with troopers and will make combat more difficulty due to their possession of shields and ability to deploy combat drones. This will mean that a squad has to respond to a new threat as if they don’t the drone can attack causing a individual from cover, either way the result is that a squad has to leave themselves open to fire from other opponents or ignore the drone and get forced out of cover. Killing the drone is usually preferable to these two options particularly on Insanity where being forced from cover is often deadly.

Their incinerate ability is very dangerous on harder difficulties they have negligible cooldown often decimating squads as if a player has being forced out of cover by a combat drone an incinerate attack will decimate their health while still causing damage over time. Combined with their tough durability engineers can cause real harm to players. The best tactic to use on them is to bring their sheild down and attempt to knock them over with concussive shots or burn them with incendiary rounds, incinerate or inferno grenades. The key is taking them out of the fight so their abilites can not be utilised to often.
