Warp Ammo

Warp Ammo is a power in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. Warp Ammo is effective against biotic barriers, armor and health. The damage bonus is doubled against enemies who are being affected by biotic powers. Warp Ammo does no bonus damage versus shields.

Mass Effect 2
Warp Ammo does double damage against enemies ragdolled by biotics, however only the power damage of Warp Ammo is doubled on such enemies, not the entire base damage of the weapon plus Warp Ammo. For example, rank 1 Warp Ammo has a 15% bonus damage, which is doubled to 30% against ragdolled enemies.

Player Notes

 * The ammunition capacity boost, if chosen, only applies on the active ammo power. Switching the active ammo power to one that does not have the ammo capacity evolution will lose the extra ammunition.
 * Combining Warp Ammo with the Rank 6 Amplification evolution of Concussive Shot allows Concussive Shot to detonate Biotic Explosions on enemies under the effect of biotic powers such as Singularity, Pull or Slam. However, the force and damage of the detonation is less powerful than a detonation triggered by a power such as Warp or Reave.
 * Warp Ammo reduces the effectiveness of armor used by targets such as Atlases, Ravagers or Geth Pyros in direct proportion to the decrease in armor effectiveness chosen. It does not, however, penetrate through the armor plates protecting enemies such as Brutes, Cannibals and Husks. This allows weapons with smaller damage per bullet to be effective against heavier targets, as well.
