Headshots grant extra weapon damage (+50% damage to +100% damage depending on weapons and research upgrades) which ammo powers do not get. Supposedly Ammo Powers get distance modifiers like weapons do, so the percentage of damage stays the same. With Tungsten Ammo you will deal a total of 28 total damage. With Warp Ammo you will deal a total of 26 total damage. Now if you are shooting armor, then the weapon will deal (10 + 2 + 2) x 1.5 damage, or With Tungsten Ammo, you will deal a total of 21 damage. So with Warp Ammo, you will deal a total of 19 damage. Since the weapon deals 10 damage per bullet, Heavy Warp will deal 5 damage and Tungsten will deal 7 damage.Īgainst health, the weapon will deal (10 + 2 + 2) damage, or 14 damage.
This increases the multiplier from 1.25 to 1.5. The piercing upgrade that deals 25% more damage to armor/shields/barriers.
+20% damage from passive and armor (+2 damage) 2 damage upgrades (+20% damage, or +2 damage) 25% more damage to armor/shields/barriers (a 1.25 damage multiplier) Now let's say you have an assault rifle with the following characteristics: So if you want to compare Heavy Warp Ammo (+50% to health/armor/barrier) to Tungsten (+70% to armor/health): One thing you are overlooking is that the damage dealt by ammo powers is based off of the base weapon damage, not the total weapon damage. On the whole, it seems to me that Armor Piercing is going to be generally more useful except on a few select missions where most of the enemies you run into are protected by Barriers. The only reason to shoot it is because these powers are currently on cool down. Once a target is lifted, rather than shooting it, it would be much better to hit it with a Throw or Warp. Meanwhile, until the target is lifted Armor Piercing is doing 15% more damage for ranks 1-3 and 20% more damage for Rank 4. At first I was inclined to agree, but I have come to doubt that Warp Ammo would be better than Armor Piercing except when fighting Collectors and the Eclipse on Samara's recruitment.Īt Rank 1 Warp Ammo only matches Armor Piercing when shooting a lifted target. RedCeasar commented on one of my videos where I was fighting the Blue Suns on Korlus that I would be better off using Warp Ammo rather than Armor piercing.
