I.e. the tech power dmg bonus from Defense Matrix?

If so, does it affect all ammo powers, including Warp Ammo?

I did a few searches and I found conflicting information. I would appreciate it if someone can point out a thread where the answer is official and/or proven.

Thx

Only Fortification buffs ammo power damage, since it is a vanilla power damage bonus. Ammo powers are strictly "combat" powers and so only generic power damage bonuses will work, whether they be from passive or from a bonus like Fortification. Defense Matrix buffs tech power damage.

You can test in the squad screen and see the difference. If a specific power damage bonus causes the damage percentage of the ammo power to increase, it is applied to the ammo. But basically as I said it is predominantly passive generic power damage or Fortification.

A near exception would be so called "dynamic" weapon damage bonuses, which are actually base weapon damage modifiers. These include Tactical Cloak's Rank 6 Sniper Rifle damage, the SR Damage evolution in the Infiltrator passive, and probably the Shotgun Damage in the Vanguard passive (not sure if that one was tested).

Any power damage bonus from armor will not work.

Weirdly, some of the squad power damage bonuses will sometimes appear to buff ammo damage (from Javik or Garrus's passive, for example). This will not persist past a load point though.

Any general power damage bonuses in class passives will increase ammo power damage. For example, taking all power damage bonuses in an Engineer's passive (Tech Mastery, +70% total) will increase the damage of an ammo bonus power. Same goes for Infiltrator and Vanguard (+35% total), which will increase the damage of their native Disruptor and Incendiary Ammo. Soldier has a general +10% power damage in Combat Mastery, and Weapon Mastery will add another +40% specifically to ammo powers.

Fortification's rank 5 Power Synergy evolution will also increase the damage of the native ammo powers for Soldier, Infiltrator, and Vanguard.

The Power Amplifier mod for pistols and SMGs (Citadel DLC) will also increase the damage of ammo powers, but only when using the pistol or SMG.

Some squadmate bonus powers add a general damage bonus to the squad (such as Garrus's squad power damage bonus), which will increase your ammo power damage, but these squad bonuses are not always applied properly. As capn233 points out, usually when reloading a save, the squad bonuses get dropped for some reason.

Armor and Intel power damage bonuses DO NOT apply to ammo powers.
Defense Matrix's rank 5 power damage evolution bonus applies only to tech powers, NOT ammo powers.
Barrier's rank 5 power damage bonus DOES NOT apply to ammo powers, but it does apply to non-biotic powers such as tech powers and combat powers such as Carnage.

The Infiltrator's max passive bonus is 35%, and the Vanguards' is 45%. I've played this game too many times since I know that off the top of my head....
