Disruptor Ammo

This article is about the Power. For the Ammo Bonus in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer, see Disruptor Rounds.

Disruptor Ammo is an ammo power that empowers weapons with an electric field.

Mass Effect 2

When activated, the player's weapon is empowered by an electric field that causes additional damage to shields. The ammo also deals increased damage to synthetic enemies and adds a chance to temporarily disable them. In addition, the ammo has a chance to overheat enemy weapons thereby disabling them.

Player Notes

• The ammunition capacity boost, if chosen, only applies on the active ammo power. Switching to another ammo power will remove the extra ammunition even if both have the capacity boost.
• In contrast to its Mass Effect 2 Iteration, Disruptor ammo is more versatile. with the proper evolution and fitted to high rate of fire weapon, it can stun entire squads of enemy forces
• Some weapon's effects synergise (or stack) cumulatively with Disruptor Ammo:
  • The following weapons deal more shield & barrier damage vs. foes (between 50%-to-500%): Acolyte Pistol, ADAS Assault Rifle, M-358 Talon Pistol, N7 Typhoon Assault Rifle, Reegar Carbine Shotgun, and Geth Spitfire Assault Rifle.
• Upgrades to power damage will increase Disruptor Ammo's listed damage bonus against health, shields, and barriers.
