okay so i made a new char (already made the game with a soldier) and when i started he was trained in assault rifle and gun wtf?? is it supposed ti be like that? and in skill i could learn overkill so i did and it worked great. is it just me or isn't engineers only supposed to be trained in guns?

When you unlock the achievements for each weapon, obtaining the 150 kills with each, you can gain profeciency with that weapon when creating a new class. I was equally confused after beating the game with my soldier to find that I could make an adept who had the assult rifle skill.

so say i got the sniper achievement, i could start a new game with say a biotic and use the sniper?

Yeap.

Ottogustavo, I've never bothered with an Engineer before. Always assumed tech powers were for support characters, and the biotic powers always seemed more directly useful in any given circumstance. Particularly when I could simply throw or lift a charge krogan off a high ledge and score an immediate, easy kill.

BUT, I'm curious about the Engineer-AR route. Let me know how it goes?
