So I am on the brink of completing a quick and somewhat rushed Soldier walkthrough (Not really my kind of class... but wanted to try the Revenant which I am loving) and I don't think I have ever found a use for disruptor ammo.

I have tried it out a few times, sure, against synthetic targets and such... but even then I thought it was pretty bad.
Basically what it does is deplete shields and 'shocks' synthetic targets. I can't speak for Insanity as I didn't do that difficulty but on the other difficulties I haven't found much use for it. Shielded targets are limited and shields itself are quite easy to go through... Beyond that it does no extra damage what so ever on anything organic (And you face organic mostly... there are only a few missions where you only fight synthetics). 

I found that even when fighting synthetic enemies Incendiary and Cryo ammo was more useful. Especially the first really makes you cut through enemies. If you ask me I think disruptor ammo should do some extra damage against anything that has lost it's defenses (so on the red health bar)... after all they are getting hit by electricity, no? 

Just me thinking it is pretty bad in it's current form?

disruptor is only really useful against geth, where it really comes into its own. haven't played a soldier, so can't speculate, but have played infil and i used it, but that was my first playthrough and so i didnt have a bonus skill.

but, like i said, against geth it pewpews its way through them, rapes teh shields then immobilises when hitting health, very powerful. taking zaeed with squad disruptor on a mission with geth is a good idea if you're doing most of your dmg with weapons and cant get it yourself, sentinel/VG in other words. soldier/infil if you ignore it in favour of alternative ammo types.

fyi, incendiary ammo against synthetics is shockingly poor, does no dmg to shields and reduced dmg to health on synthetics. this is from a post by christina norman.

Disruptor ammo on geth and other robots is every effective. It makes them explode, their weapons overheat, and it can stun them.

Am I the only one for whom shields go down faster without Disruptor ammo, especially when using the Geth Pulse Rifle/Collector AR?

Hardcore. Mostly just used Incendiary ammo even against Geth... Though that is indeed the only situation where Disruptor ammo seemed useful. Beyond that switching it to disruptor just for the Fenris mechs and such seemed pointless.

Disruptors take shields down faster. :)

I love disruptor shots on the sniper rifle. I guess this point depends on how upgraded the rifle is, but I have had situations where the sniper rifle could not kill in one headshot a shielded merc, or geth. Putting a disruptor round in there it would :)

Disruptor Ammo is actually very useful. I have it evolved to its Squad version and I always load it on both my squad mates' weapons. It's not only useful because it stuns synthetics and rips through shields... it will actually overheat any enemy's weapon for 6 seconds. It will overheat any enemy's weapon too, organic or synthetic. That's 6 seconds where they can't shoot you, which is extremely important on hardcore/insanity. I always run Tungsten Ammo myself, but my squad definitely helps me survive by overheating everyone's weapon :)

Mercenaries are very frequent enemies throughout the game, and on Insanity they all have shields. I can't speak for Normal but on Insanity Disruptor Ammunition is very nice to have.

I just finished Insanity with my Soldier yesterday. I used Disruptor alot. If enemies were shielded I used Disruptor. If they were mech, disruptor, geth then for sure disruptor. For organics, once their shields were down I switched to Tungsten. Worked good.

I don't think I'd waste points on a soldier with it, unless it was my last 10 points. It would be a nice skill on a NG+, but disruptor ammo quickly loses its usefulness after you pass the handful of geth-centric missions.

Heavy Disruptor rounds on the LMG takes down Mechs faster then heavy weapons, it also makes them explode.
