So the Cerberus Assault Armor  is coming, which looks perfectly tailored for the Vanguard. Unless I'm mistaken, +10% ammo seems excellent for the limited ammo of the shotgun, 10% shields and 10% health should be awesome for surviving with charge. One problem. I've recently read that barrier is better than Fortification as a bonus talent (provided you don't want Geth Shield Boost, which isn't my thing, green lighting and shorter duration isn't made up for by the pretty pesky 10/15% damage bonus.) Apparently it gets shorter cooldown from Vanguard talents and possibly more effect (though I havn't found any + biotic power gear, just generic % power stuff.) But Cerberus Assault Armor has + shields for bonus, not + barrier. Unless I'm mistaken, "shields" is split up in biotic barriers, which are purple, and (tech) shields. What does this mean for player skills and bonuses? Is Fortification and Geth Shield Boost a shield, while Barrier is a biotic barrier?

Heavy Weapon Capacity does not equal more ammo for the shotgun. And besides, you never run out with the shotgun ammo upgrade, anyways.

for the player, shields and barrier and armour are all the same thing.

I'm pretty sure +10% shields will just give +10% to whatever defence you have. Barrier, Fortification and Geth Shield Boost just give the relevant +% to whatever defence you have - Barrier will give +% to shields if your an infiltrator etc. I believe you can't have multiple defences.

Easiest thing to do, though, is wait till it's released, equip it and see if your barrier goes up in the squad screen.

 Also, I think Barrier is said to be better than fortification because of the biotic duration upgrades etc. that Barrier benefits from, while Fortificiation does not.

It does not matter, even if it says "boost to your shields" and you have barrier, you still get that bonus.

Ah, I thought it was 10% normal ammo, not heavy. Well, nice to get verifications, thanks.

Maybe for the starting levels barrier is a nice bonus. But once you fully invest points into Charge and your class Talent, your bonus would be better to go to AP ammo. - but this may change once we get our hands on the new shotgun. Since the description states it does good against armor.



But that is saying if you know how to use Charge correctly and don't get caught with your pants down out in the open.. :P
