Some squadmate bonus powers add a general damage bonus to the squad (such as Garrus's squad power damage bonus), which will increase your ammo power damage, but these squad bonuses are not always applied properly. The Power Amplifier mod for pistols and SMGs (Citadel DLC) will also increase the damage of ammo powers, but only when using the pistol or SMG. Soldier has a general +10% power damage in Combat Mastery, and Weapon Mastery will add another +40% specifically to ammo powers.įortification's rank 5 Power Synergy evolution will also increase the damage of the native ammo powers for Soldier, Infiltrator, and Vanguard. Same goes for Infiltrator and Vanguard (+35% total), which will increase the damage of their native Disruptor and Incendiary Ammo.

For example, taking all power damage bonuses in an Engineer's passive (Tech Mastery, +70% total) will increase the damage of an ammo bonus power. This will not persist past a load point though.Īny general power damage bonuses in class passives will increase ammo power damage. Weirdly, some of the squad power damage bonuses will sometimes appear to buff ammo damage (from Javik or Garrus's passive, for example). These include Tactical Cloak's Rank 6 Sniper Rifle damage, the SR Damage evolution in the Infiltrator passive, and probably the Shotgun Damage in the Vanguard passive (not sure if that one was tested).Īny power damage bonus from armor will not work. But basically as I said it is predominantly passive generic power damage or Fortification.Ī near exception would be so called "dynamic" weapon damage bonuses, which are actually base weapon damage modifiers. If a specific power damage bonus causes the damage percentage of the ammo power to increase, it is applied to the ammo.

You can test in the squad screen and see the difference. Ammo powers are strictly "combat" powers and so only generic power damage bonuses will work, whether they be from passive or from a bonus like Fortification. Only Fortification buffs ammo power damage, since it is a vanilla power damage bonus.
