I personally think:



Shredder (worst all around)

Cryo

Warp

Armor Piercing

Disruptor

Incendiary (best all around)



They all serve a purpose though, like Disruptor is great against mechs or anything with shields. Armor piercing is also one of my favorite ammo types, vs anything with armor like blood pack.

Though I reckon shredder is teh suck, I'm sorely tempted to start an Insanity NG with it on an Adept.
For the lolz.
Intending to only shoot unprotected foes when they're on the floor or floating in the air, an SMG with jagged bullets would just be hilarious.
I'll use squad ammo on the pistol, though (and later, whichever bonus weapon I get).

shredder is probably alright on a soldier if you bind your keys to make ammo switching easy. Use one type to blast thier shields, then switch and one shot them once the sheilds are down. it's all about HOW you use it and WHO uses it.  It only takes a second to switch ammo on a gun, that's the reason we can train in multiple types really.  It adds to strategy.  Just sticking to one isn't going to do you much good either way.

fun way to bind your powers on a soldier: use your 3 ammos, learn warp, and then always bring thane and garrus along on missions and bind their ammos too (squad type, disable squad abilities) and you can be a flippin' rainbow of ammo variation.

squad cryo ammo is one of the best squad ammos, if not the best. Watch my Jack recruitment video where I strip defenses and freeze everyone.

Shredder ammo. Cryo ammo is actually pretty good since most mobs got barrier or shields, here you need a specified ammo to do extra damage. Once their shields are stripped, cryo ammo is the best ammo.

That would be cool if it weren't for global cooldown ... it'll end up being a choice between switching ammo or adrenaline rush again.

The cooldown on ammo isn't even a second man, its even faster than switching weapons.

[Tlazolteotl]

I guess so. I've been using different ammo on different weapons, and switching in the middle of cooldowns, but I guess switching ammo might work on a soldier (as adrenaline rush doesn't generate much downtime).

The key to making squad cryo really effective is to focus on stripping defenses rather than killing enemies outright. You end up with frozen enemies everywhere.

[Besetment]

Yeah. The freeze duration also lasts ages. Just rip defenses and move onto the next target. Rip defenses. Next target. Your squadmates will do most of the freezing. Then you can go back and plug all the surviving frozen guys who now take double damage and don't shoot back. When you aren't getting shot at you can just let rip at full auto. More time spent killing, less time spent hiding behind boxes waiting for shields to regenerate.

Well, if you play with Scimitar it is indeed very effective, with Claymore or Eviscerator, Shep kills them in one shot (or shot+melee with Evi) so you do not have to worry about freeze duration or anything. Squad Cryo Ammo is awesome even if only your squad have that and you use Inferno Ammo yourself.

[Urazz]

Shredder is the most useless ammo around. The other ammos have their uses. AP ammo though seems kind of redundant since incendiary ammo damages armor and health lower than AP ammo but can freak out organics for a few seconds.

[Gravbh]

Cryo ammo is pretty bad. SQUAD cryo ammo is amazing however.



Shredder is the only truly useless ammo IMO. Well I guess you could say that armor piercing is close to useless if you play a class that already has incendiary.
