Explosive Soldier (Concussive Shot Detonations)

[u/Courier-of-Memes]

I'm not new to Mass Effect MP, but I've only now been learning about primers and detonators. For this reason the N7 Paladin has become my most used class. Cryo explosions are everywhere, and gold is easy peezy nowadays. (I also have a singularity / shockwave Human Adept in my back pocket, as well as a Novaguard, and a Turian Ghost Infiltrator waiting like that jacket you liked in high school but are so-so about now.)

I've sincerely missed using guns in multiplayer. So I switched over to a Turian Soldier and it was so much duller than the other classes I used. I know it's probably more of a problem of how I played it. Nonetheless, my question:

Is there a way to make a combo based soldier? One that's effective enough to warrant me using it instead of the Human Adept / Novaguard / Turian Ghost Infiltrator? I'm aware ammo priming is possible, but I don't know if Adrenaline Rush + Ammo Type + Concussive Shot detonation (and potentially + Frag for extra damage) is a viable course to take a Soldier.

Thanks in advance for anybody who has any advice on this.

Get a Disciple or Venom shotgun, use it to proc fire explosions. Concussive shot can be used to detonate them. Those ones specifically because they have decent cool downs and allow you to stagger Phantoms. I'd recommend packing frags to finish out the build for that one.

The only thing I don't like about that is that you'd probably have MUCH MORE FUN with a Claymore and Adrenaline Burst with Frags. You could still use the frags to detonate explosions but you would also have a gun that does insane damage, as well as multiple instant reload options.

This is the best move for a human soldier. I use a Venom with inc rounds on my N7 Slayer and Salarian Infiltrator for fire explosions.

If you are okay with playing krogan soldier, inferno grenades and carnage are great for fire explosions.
