Mass effect 2: reave or armor piercing ammo?

reave does 3 times the damage for barriers and armor. armor piercing ammo does +70% of armor and health damage. Which one should I get?



I'm leaning towards getting reave (or maybe slam) since I can give garrus squad armor piercing ammo. I can have garrus with me on all the missions, and it won't be a bad thing because garrus is a good squadmate if you ask me

If you're worried about staying alive, use geth shield boost or barrier or something. For pure offense, I guess reave would probably be the way to go of the two you mentioned. Warp ammo is also pretty badass, as it boosts damage against.. everything: health, shields, barriers, armor. Slam is semi-worthless if you're playing on a higher difficulty because, like way too many abilities in the game, it only works on enemies with nothing but a red healthbar left. On insane, by the time you get to health, you've already done 90% of the work and might as well just shoot them in the face.Mass effect 2: reave or armor piercing ammo?
Reave.



AP ammo doesn't do jack against shields or barriers... and there's A LOT of those. A better alternative would be Warp ammo...



But Heavy reave is impressive. Also, it shouldn't... but it destroys shields as well as barriers, armor and health.Mass effect 2: reave or armor piercing ammo?
If you have biotic abilities, invest in Reave. Otherwise consider another power.
So many bosses have tough shields and armor, I'd definitely go reave.
