So I restarted my VG profile from the Collector ship, taking the SR instead.... figured why not give the Viper some love because I preffered the oneshot Mantis.....


Woooow. I slapped cryo ammo on that baby, and...well...Collectors and Geth...died....quickly...Mercs died... lots of people have really


But quick question regarding the Viper.... is it worth it to upgrade it all the way? I think I have 2 or 3/5 for the sniper rifle... and get the sniper bonus upgrade?

Do squaddies take the Viper or the Mantis?

Distance multipliers for weapons multiply the final damage number with all upgrades. So shotguns will do x2 of the total damage at a very close range.



Adrenaline Rush behaves the same way; it multiplies the total weapon damage you do.



Keep in mind that ammo powers are still a completely separate damage call. Adrenaline Rush does not affect ammo power damage. Ammo powers are considered a power, so they get bonuses from power upgrades, not weapon upgrades, and they always take their initial damage value from the base weapon damage without upgrades. It's worth noting that ammo powers do get a distance multiplier like weapons. This was done to keep ammo power damage consistent, so when we say that an ammo power does X% of weapon damage, that is true for any range because it shares the distance multiplier of the weapon.



I'll add this to the gameplay thread.
