I suppose this isn't so much a bug as a game design flaw, but I wanted to see what other people thought.  My post didn't recieve any attention in another forum, so maybe some people here have thoughts.


In a recent mission, I took Zaeed (spec-ed with Squad
Disruptor Ammo) and Grunt (Spec-ed with Squad Incendiary Ammo). 
I noticed that during combat they would continually overwrite
eachother's ammo power.  Zaeed would use his and we would all have the
blue Disruptor ammo glow on our weapons.  Then Grunt would notice his
ammo power was inactive and use it, switching us all to the red
incendiary.  Zaeed would see his ammo power inactive and.......Back and
forth.  Back and forth. Continuous loop. To make matters worse, they
would never use other  powers (concussion shot for example) because
they were always on global cooldown from continuously using the ammo
powers.

I attempted to disable auto-power use, but noticed that
the option in the gameplay settings only disables offensive non-ammo
power usage (like concussion shot).  I tested it anyways (disabling
auto power usage hoping it would disable ammo-power usage) but the
option worked (sadly) as described.... the ammo overwrite loop
continued.

Furthermore, you aren't able to retrain supporting team member skill point distribution.

Has
anyone found a solution to this issue?  Other then starting over, is
there anything I can do to have this team together?  I imagine the
issue would also occur with the combination of any two (or three) team
members with any of the squad Ammo powers.

I appreciate any advice anyone can offer.

yeah thats intresting inquiry.. i personally chose soldier and did not spec any one player to full on an ammo type.. as being a soldier allows me to spec mine and give it to the whole squad.. now i know not to spec that alway out on any other characters...although i have thought upon taking garrus's armor peircing bullet ability for myself...

I'm having that issue right now, except they are BOTH ANNOYINGOUSLY overwriting my Tungsten rounds. I'm sure you can see how this would be a problem on the level with all of those husks on INSANE difficulty.

I think this definitely qualifies as a bug - it doesn't really matter if it was born out of bad game mechanics design or coding issues.

Quite happy now that I never went for upgrading these powers on my squad - since, as an Infiltrator, I felt I had enough ammo options + weapon options to deal with anything and other things were more useful for my team.

This also means that this can be even more annoying if say you decide to switch to disruptor ammo for a bit to take down someone's shields or hit a mech, only to have your squadmate decide that you are wrong and overwrite your ammo with incendiary or whatever.

Having the same problem in my game too, it's getting really annoying. :/



Anyone have a fix for this, or at least a way to reskill my squad without having to restart the game?

Yeah... was browsing google if anybody else had problems with this exact same thing.. it's really annoying since there is no way to undo talents except for shepard.



This makes having two characters with team ammo in the same team very problematic

In the end I used a savegame editor to reskill my team members. :(



I'll have a look where I found it, but it's pretty awesome.
