Sabotage can prime enemies of Tech Burst. However, this only happens on Organic enemies 1.5 after the ability was used on them. After this time the weapon explodes dealing bonus damage. This is when the enemy becomes primed.
Synthetic enemies become allies for a period of time. It works on any synthetic even Geth Prime or Atlas.
Sabotage goes well with Overload Chain upgrade as you can Sabotage multiple enemies. They then become primed for Tech Burst, which overload can easily exploit.
The Backfire effect is very useful for staggering and interrupting enemies.
