 Am I missing something or do the last 2 ranks of concussive shot have only one useful choice each? Second last is -35% cooldown or +100% damage to frozen targets. How do I freeze targets as a Soldier? It seems kind of useless to me to rely on there being another player that has the freeze ability unlocked. The last choice is add ammo power to concussive shot or +100% damage to organics. How do I add an ammo power to the shot if I have no ammo powers as soldier?

You use an ammo power bonus before the match.

in multiplayer ammo powers are consumable items you activate in the equipment menu before a game, they last the whole game but are used up after that. so potentially if you had a massive supply of cry ammo you could spec your concussive shot to take advantage of that, still I agree that the shatter thing is kind of a silly choice considering how many hoops you have to jump through to reliably take advantage of that. Particularly when you could do the same with any old fashioned melee.

So I have to use consumables to get something useful out of the 11 points I put into the skill? Again, it does not seem useful to me.

Considering the consumables are common and almost essential to win in Silver/Gold games, I would say it shouldn't be a big deal.  That isn't counting any teammates who can do it for you, but that might require coordination you wouldn't be willing to do.

I coordinate with good players just fine, but good players are not guaranteed. There are always level 1s who dont know what they are doing and the idiots who keep on charging into groups of enemies and messing up the match.

Just focus on the branches of the skill tree that max out damage and force.

Minimize cooldown times

Put enemies on their a** once every 1.39 seconds.

 Suitable for all enemies/defenses!

And then my answer would be take the initiative in not having to rely on squadmates and use an ammo powerup.  Or don't and just use the concussive shot with the values you've already upgraded.  The point is that its specializing the ability to suit a particular player or playstyle, if its not for you then don't invest the final tree at all.

I only put three points into it with my human. Meaning it's just there as an extra power. I don't really have any use for it aside from stunning Phantoms.

Using consumables really isn't that big of a deal, and they can help a boatload in any match. And you get them fairly often even in Recruit Packs.

Compared to the final "section" of all the other abilities is that really a suitable way to say this isn't an issue?

You can't always guarantee that your ally has a freeze power and if you're playing on the PC you can guarantee there isn't going to be any communication which would make that branch not particularly viable nor worth the cost of 6 points.

One question about the level 6 of concussive shot : It says it gives the property of ammo powers (warp, froze, etc), but how does it work exactly ? Does it apply every ammo power at once ? Do we have to choose one ?

I want to know it it can work with level 5 bonus (against froze opponent).

Thanks !

If you have Warp, Cryo Ammo etc equipped from the Equipment menu, your Concussive Shots will apply that property to its power. That's my understanding anyway.

I'm more ticked it seems weaker. In the demo I could knock over Cerberus Guardians and make them expose their whole body. Now they stagger slightly and show their leg.

Have you tried putting it through the mailslot? I'm not sure if that would work, but then I tend to use CS as a kind of rechargable homing grenade rather than a bullet.

Lol, someone thinks consumables (equipment) are necessary to win...

That would be tough as you don't aim it exactly. It homes in now. It seems to have something to do with difficulty. I was playing silver but now that im back on bronze it is knocking them back better.
