Here's my question. We know that if an ammo power is
ineffective against a certain defense then it is not applied. So is the ammo
damage applied before or after the regular damage? This is important for instances
where a single shot from a sniper rifle/shotgun can down someone's defenses.



So if it is applied before then it is advantageous to match the ammo type to
the defense type (barrier, armor, or shields). But if it's applied afterwards
if more advantageous to utilize shredder or armor piercing ammo as they add
damage against health.



Example: I have the shredder ammo applied and I shotgun a Collector Drone up
close. If the ammo damage is applied first then it is wasted the damage as it
is ineffective against barriers. If the ammo damage is applied after the weapon
damage then it would add to the health damage that the Drone takes.



I hop all that made sense. Does anyone know the answer?

Ammo powers make their damage call before the regular weapon damage call.
