The GE is Outbreak. This one is all about coordinated headshots with team mates. It makes legendaries easier than normal if you and a team mate can hit headshots. One marks the enemy, then the next headshot within the time is an instant kill. I find a full stam Pred or Striker and an Urban MDR with 3.4x scope is a great combo for this one. The reason for this is that because the 2nd headshot on a marked enemy is an instant kill. You do not have to have high firepower, or a marksman build. Just one shot to mark, the next headshot is instant kill. So, by having high stamina builds like I mentioned, you spend more time up firing, rather than cowering behind cover regenerating health.
Also, when playing the "Critical Outbreak", one of my favorite build (D3) is virtually out. The shorter range of the SMG is about the same distance as the "Contaminated" distance. When you are contaminated, you lose health quite fast (honestly too fast IMHO). I have found that the contamination lasts a second or so past when the enemy is killed. More than once I have went down after killing the enemy that was contaminating me.

Modifiers:
Outbreak (Global Modifier)
Always active; headshot kills increase headshot damage for a short duration and spread Bleed to nearby targets.
Severe Outbreak
Outbreak behavior, plus enemies are ´Contagious´and will drain Agents´ health when close.
Critical Outbreak (Group Modifier)
Threat level 1 behavior, plus headshot-marked enemies can be killed instantly with the second headshot from any other team member. *Note*, you should always use the "Critical" modifier, or the default. There is zero benefit to using the "severe" modifier. When solo, they are the same, but in a group, even a reclaimer with a pistol can get an insta-kill.
Comments:
The Contagion Commendation was incredibly annoying. Having to get a kill while contaminated 300 times... The whole premise of this GE was coordinated headshots at a distance.
