Right now I'm just using Incen ammo, but given its explosive proc, I thought I'd maybe put that on a fast multishot weapon like a pistol, and then a maxed out Cryo ammo on my shotgun?

[PrinceLionheart]

Incendiary definitely. I didn't find Cryo quite as useful as it was in ME2, but it was still pretty good on Squadmates.

[Zhuinden]

Incendiary is the best for all situations, if you ask me.

For a Vanguard, both.

U use Incendiary, Explosive Burst on a shotgun is ridonkulous, while ur squad uses Cryo. Squad Cryo bumps up ur squads usefulness 10 fold, Freezing/Slowing/Weakening everything on the field for u. Its fantastic .

Yip 

Incendiary explosive + squad cryo. Tis insanely powerful!

Only problem is there a point to take Squad X ammo on ANY companion when I'd say, what, 80% of the chars already have some ammo power to begin with?

[humes spork]

You get enough squad points to max out both comfortably eventually, but until you get to that point (which occurs in the late 40s if I recall correctly from my vanguard play through) stick with one or the other and focus on maxing your active skills, assault mastery and fitness.

Either have their benefits and drawbacks, and neither is inherently preferential to the other.

[godlike13]

Honestly, IMO, a squad members X ammo isn't as good as Cryo ammo on them. U'll get more use out of them crowd controlling and weakening things with Cryo, then increased weapon damage from their various X ammo. Especially for a Vanguard, which usually gets all the enemy focus.

Cryo for shotgun, and fire for long range. That long range just does more damage with fire, but when I freeze someone with cryo, and then charge/nova them, they take extra damage from that, mostly shattering them. I'd charge em, shot them with shotgun and then nova, or nova, shotgun, charge. either way, they're still dead.

[zambingo]

I went Cryo the whole game.

Cryo
Pull
Charge
Shockwave
Nova
Assault
Fitness
Reave

Maxed all. In powers that had radius upgrades I took those. Added Lift to Shockwave (kinda turns it into Slam). Equipped with the Particle Rifle, modded for damage and ammo. Used Reave, Charge and Nova the most. Reave+Warp boom. Reave+Singularity boom. etc. Charge to finish and re-up shields. Lots of charging and rolling, major power use, combo setting up and controlling my squad's abilities, placements big time.

My party was almost always Garrus and Liara. Cryo works well with Garrus's Concussive Shot shatter upgrade. But really no one lasted too long to worry about anything. I never even pumped points into Stasis for Liara or Mines for Garrus (Mines are like useless in my experience). Used their other powers. Had no issues in the game, slaughtered all. btw Liara had the Scorpion, modded for damage and accuracy. Garrus had the Particle Rifle, modded for damage and accuracy.

Played on Insanity.

I switched between Garrus's armor peircing rounds and my vangaurd's incendary, I liked the incendary more just for the little explosions, cuz it looked cool, lol. I'd still switch to garrus's armor peircing when working on brutes/banshe/ravenger clusters though.

[jrus018]

if your using a shotgun go for incendiary ammo rank6 explosive burst making each pellet to do a 50% chance for explosive burst

anything else cryo ammo for cryo explosion combo

This has been my experience.  Incendiary Ammo is great... whenever I remember that I actually have a weapon.  Enemies just drop from Charge combos, to say nothing of Nova spam.

[Deflagratio]

I use faster weapons, like the Phalanx, Scimitar and Locust, so Cryo ammo is worthless to me. I prefer the DPS boost and hilarity of all those fast-fire weapons with Incendiary rounds with explosive payload evolution.

[Firesteel]

Explosive incendiary for yourself
Squad cryo
This is basically an epic win in dealing with armored enemies.
