What the title says. Someone told me on game that the explosive ammo bonus is bugged so you actually end up doing a lot less then you normally would using it.

 

Is this true or is it simply the effect of the others much more beneficial. Rendering explosive ammo pointless?

lolExplosiveAmmo.

It's pretty good if you need practice tossing things out the airlock. Otherwise, working as intended.

It's pretty much garbage ammo.It has a short stagger effect on mooks,but that's about it.

[ROBOTICSUPERMAN]

It doesn't do less damage than your weapon would without ammo powers. But I'm fairly sure that all the other ammos are more effective damage wise.

However, it can hit up to 5 enemies within the blast radius of 5m (if I recall correctly) and can do a max of 250 damage. So 250x5=1250 not bad eh? Every 3 seconds.

I have found ways of making explosive ammo effective ish, but it's a very very niche market.

[gothpunkboy89]

Ah ok. Just other bonuses are more effective then it.

pretty much why would you want a 250 damage delayed-application ammo effect stagger when you can just Disruptor Ammo>Tech Burst at will

 

Or Fire Explosion

 

Or Cryo Slow/Freeze/Chill/Weaken

 

Or AP double hits

 

etc

 

You can find a better ammo for every kit in the game, even Warp Ammo with a Biotic is better than this garbage

Explosive ammo also overrides most if not all primers and it cannot be detonated. So, it actually is bad. You can say good bye to all these nice biotic and tech explosions in most cases. It is better for the team to have no ammo at all than to have somebody with explosive ammo.

It's great from a role-playing perspective. I like to use it and pretend that it does something. You can even add you own sound effects over a gaming headset. You can be all like, "Kaboom!"

[DemiserofD]

It's really fun to use when there's a fury on the team. Just follow them around, plinking away at their targets with your predator and giggling as they go down again and again.

Contrary to popular belief,it actually doesn't overwrite primers.I've tested this with other ammo and powers.It still sucks though.

I decided to fix this threads title :  Explosive Ammo = Broken.

[Jugger nuggss]

Thought this was a necro at first

[JGDD]

Explosive harpooning is fun. Not that there aren't better options as mentioned above.

This isn't true.

There's no bug, there's just a cap on ammo damage that is pretty low for a damage cap.  I suppose if you were able to hit 3 enemies with the explosion, it might do decent damage, but that doesn't often happen.

 

I would try telling the enemies to all hold still and group together so you can shoot at them.  That is probably the most likely way that someone can make Explosive Ammo effective.

[TMB903]

Broken implies that it was ever working to begin with. It's by far the most useless thing in MP.

[niniendowarrior]

I use it just for lols.

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

I don't think it's broken, I think it's just that it sucks.

[afgncaap7]

Explosive ammo is the type of thing you use when you have no other options at all. And even then I couldn't blame you for hesitating...

Sorry, got carried away in my hate of it.

You say that like it's a weak combo.

 

Warp ammo on a Drell Adept can make an Avenger deadlier than a GI with a Phaeston.

Crap Damage x2 = Still Crap.  Reave is garbage, tickle 3 enemies at a time for crap damage while taking 40% less damage yourself, as a Drell you are still shield gated immediately so what is the point.

 

And Cluster Grenades are a Mechanical Delivery System with an Eezo payload, so Drell Adept is still another example of Tech superiority.

Crap damage vs Hurricane and Harrier. I say it does... repsectable damage. Very fun to use. DA with Warp make EVERY gun Gold/Plat viable.

Then you should be grateful when I come in and chain Disruptor Ammo Primer all the enemies with 0 internal cooldown because then when your Cluster Grenades detonate they will be making Tech Bursts intead of Biotic Explosions which means the enemies are still Biotic Primed and you will still get your x2 Warp Ammo weapon damage.

 

You're welcome.
