ME1 Legendary Mode – Infiltrator (Calm Tactical Sniper) Paragon Build 🎯🛡️

Paragon Infiltrator = precise, patient protector who deletes threats before they ever reach your squad. Legendary Mode (1–30) means you lean into long‑range control, tech support, and smart positioning instead of frontline brawling.

Role & Difficulty

Long‑range tactical support and priority‑target eliminator.

  • Role: Pick off dangerous enemies, control the fight with tech, and keep the squad safe from a distance.

  • Best for: Players who like planning ahead, using cover, and winning fights before enemies even get in range.

Early Game (Levels 1–10) – Foundation of Control

Goal: Reliable ranged damage + core tech utility + basic survivability.

Focus your first levels on:

  • Sniper Rifles – 4–6 points

Your main weapon. With this investment, careful aim will drop most basic enemies quickly.

  • Electronics – 3–4 points

Lets you open locked doors/containers and boosts your shields – great for a backline protector.

  • Pistols – 3–4 points

Backup mid‑range option when you don’t have a clean sniper angle.

  • Decryption – 3–4 points

Opens more loot and gives protection against enemy tech (e.g., sabotage, overload).

  • Barrier – 3–4 points

Emergency defense so you can survive if flanked or forced out of cover.

Early playstyle:

Stay behind your squad, pick safe angles, use tech to open everything, and focus on enemy snipers, rocketeers, and leaders first.

Mid Game (Levels 11–20) – Tactical Suppression Core

Goal: Become a consistent threat remover with strong tech control.

By around level 20, aim for:

  • Sniper Rifles – 8–10 points

Highly reliable one‑shot or two‑shot kills on normal enemies at range.

  • Electronics – 7–8 points

Strong shields for you and great utility for doors, crates, and tech interactions.

  • Decryption – 6–7 points

Handles most locked content and boosts your resistance to tech powers.

  • Pistols – 6–7 points

Solid fallback weapon when things get too close for sniping.

  • Barrier – 6–7 points

Lets you hold risky positions and survive if enemies push your line.

Mid‑game rhythm:

Find high ground or long sightlines → strip threats and disable shields with tech → pick them off with sniper shots → fall back on Pistols + Barrier when enemies get close.

Late Game (Levels 21–30) – Master Tactical Controller

Goal: Complete your kit as an unshakeable long‑range controller.

From level 21–30, finish and polish:

  • Max Sniper Rifles and Electronics

Core loop: delete targets from safety while giving the squad huge shield support and tech utility.

  • Max Decryption

Full access to loot/security + excellent defense versus tech‑using enemies.

  • Barrier – 7–8 points

Strong protection so you can stay in exposed sniper nests longer.

  • Spectre Training – 6–8 points

Passive bonuses to health, weapon damage, and improved Paragon dialogue checks.

Optional leftover points:

  • Extra Pistols ranks – for more reliable mid‑range DPS.

  • Tech passives – to slightly improve cooldowns and effectiveness.

  • Any defensive/armor‑related talents – if available, to double down on survivability.

Specialization:

  • Operative – ideal for a Paragon Infiltrator. It enhances tech and combat effectiveness, fitting the “methodical, precise protector” fantasy.

Recommended Paragon Squads 🎯⚡

Precision & Biotics Squad

  • Liara – heavy biotic control to suspend enemies you don’t kill outright.

  • Garrus – mid‑range fire and extra tech utility.

    You: pick off priority targets.

    Them: lock down survivors and handle mid‑range pressure.

Tank & Tech Squad

Paragon Tactical Playstyle Tips

  • Always choose good sightlines over aggression; let the enemy walk into your kill zones.

  • Focus early shots on snipers, rocketeers, and elites – they’re the real threat to your squad.

  • Use Electronics/Decryption between fights for extra loot and during fights to neutralize tech‑heavy enemies.

  • Pop Barrier when flanked or when you need to stay scoped in under fire.

  • Think like a leader at the back: you’re not just doing damage, you’re preventing danger from ever reaching your team.
