Cryo, Disruptor, or take AP as my bonus power?  This is on Normal/Vet.

Cryo Ammo with Squad Effectiveness.

Energy Drain takes out shields / barriers and Incinerate takes out armor so the other ammo types are basically worthless.

I went with Disruptor so I could cloak and one shot Marauders. I don't think you'll need cryo, you're likely always in cover. AP could be useful I guess but I found incinerate more helpful on armour than rifle shots. Plus, choosing an ammo power as your bonus feels like a waste, get something more fun :)

I think warp ammo is the best imo. It affects Shields and barriers. Ivan have one of your teammates have something that effects armors if you don't already have it yourself.

On Normal take whatever you find the most fun. On Insanity you want EDI's defensive ability bonus power OR Shield Drain. Depends on whether you have a squadmate who can deal with shields if you do then take the Defensive Matrix if not then take Shield Drain. Leaving you with Disruptor or Cryo ammo. I'd say Disruptor for the Stun if you don't have Liara for stasis, if you do have Liara, then up to you but probably Disruptor.

I find Disruptor to be more useful than Cryo 90% of the time as an Infiltrator. Cryo Ammo is useful against heavily armored targets, like Brutes or Harvesters. The other fun way to use Cryo Ammo is to carry an SMG with it for use against waves of Husks; the freeze effect will slow them down or stop them completely. You're more likely to freeze a target with the more hits you make, regardless of how much damage the individual hits do.

AP and Warp Ammo both have some impressive damage stats... but if you're an Infiltrator then they're both a bit of a waste. The better sniper rifles can already penetrate cover, and Disruptor can also penetrate barriers this time (but I don't remember how well).

I happen to be a fan of Defense Matrix as my bonus power on Insanity. If your shields go down on Insanity you'll die VERY QUICKLY unless you can get them back up, and Defense Matrix lets you fully restore them instantly.

choose the squad cryo at rank 4 then use incinerate on frozen targets for the tech bursts. Doesn't get old. Also half the time you will one shot lower enemies with your sniper rifle and they will explode into frozen bits! this is on hardcore

For my infiltrator, I ran with the old ME2 trick of having squad cryo, and non-squad disruptor.

Gives pretty good coverage. Disruptor's stun effect can be pretty useful, and naturally squadmates will be freezing or slowing down things all the while too

Squad Cryo hands down

The infiltrator has the two best ammo powers in the game, disruptor and cryo. Take them both. BTW, don't underestimate how amazing the final cryo damage evolution is against health. It's a 1.5x multiplier on ALL damage, not just weapons.

I had a question about that final Cryo +50% damage evolution actually...

It says it works with 'frozen' targets, but would it also affect 'chilled' targets that still have armor/shields/barrier up?

I don't think so. I'd be more positive (as it says frozen, not chilled) but then the other evolution says it reduces frozen targets' movement...and obviously if they're frozen they're not going anywhere :)

Cryo ammo is the best for the Infiltrator as the squad evo's cross team CC is invaluable and also because you don't need to waste your bonus power on another ammo type. Cryo ammo also weakens armor, which is probably the best power effect in the game, at least on higher difficulties it is. I would think its still applicable to normal difficulty, even though its likely less pronounced.

Disruptor ammo...is not a top two ammo power in the game. Warp ammo is, unless you find mooks a lot tougher than Brutes and Banshees. Shields in general are a joke to bring down in this game. Armor is far more of a problem, even with adequate preparation.

Cryo. The utility cannot be denied.

I use Cyro on Husks and Disruptor on Cerberus and Geth on Normal...and Carnage as my Bonus (though thinking about changing that to a crowd controlling power to tackle Hardcore/Insanity)....My Infiltrator carries the Black Widow only, keeping his cooldowns as short as possible with such a heavy primary weapon...I heavily favor head shots if that makes a difference...I find that all works very well for me.

My infiltrator is pretty much a pure 1S1K sniper, so:

I prefer Disruptor as my primary ammo power, and it works great for high-power sniper rifles, punching through shields and barriers like they aren't even there. I find Incinerate suffices for anti-armor capabilities. Plus, give Garrus a Particle Rifle and turn on his Armor-Piercing Ammo. Brutes die.

Cryo is great with an SMG, Scorpion pistol, or Shotgun. Mostly for husk rushes. It's particularly fun with a Scorpion and a scope against Cerberus, but hardly essential.

I've been pretty happy with squad cryo. Adds a bit of crowd control from squadmates and you can get tech explosions off it.

 I've used Disruptor ammo for my weapons. Am currently using a modded level 5 Raptor sniper rifle as my main weapon and with an infiltrator of level 44 with LOTS of bonuses for sniper rifles and head shots its frigging DEADLY.

Incendiary.

In multiplayer anyways.

In single player, Cryo.
