Being that there is an Ark full of Asari that managed to reach Andromeda, you'd think at least one of them would have packed their best ammo types.

Since there are barely (or if any?) biotic primers in this game, I'd be happy with AP or Phasic Rounds.

Is this a serious question? Of all the half-finished, teased, or just should-have-been-implemented features, this is the one that stands out to you?
Same reason none of the others happened, obviously: the plug was pulled four months after release.
Pretty thin pretext to pick at the same itchy scab.

Warp ammo was one of the original types of ammo included when ME3's MP first came out (Warp,Incendiary, Disruptor, Cryo, Armor-piercing rounds). It wasn't something they added later (Phasic, explosive, drill rounds) . Yet Bioware felt the need to remove it when ME:A came out. I just find it really weird they'd do that.

I think the phrasing of your question might be obscuring the purpose of your question. Would it be more accurate to ask "Why were Warp Ammo and Lift Grenades not included at launch?" Slightly different question but puts emphasis on the exclusion of these items from the beginning.

It gave bonus damage against armor and had a further bonus against targets that were primed by a biotic ability. That said, even if it had primed it wouldn't have been detonated by Concussive Shot. With very few exceptions (e.g. Throw detonated tech bursts and, I think, fire explosions) biotic/tech/combat abilities did not detonate cross-class primers.

Tons of stuff actually detonated. masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Power_CombosAnd yeah, warp ammo didn't prime anything, but the bonuses were higher than the others so it made up for that. I'm stupid bitter that warp ammo isn't in this game.

Ahh the good old days when priming and detonations made in universe sense and respected lore rather than being overly simplified and dumbed down to the point of absurdity.

Unless they significantly buffed the damage boost from ammo, I couldn't see myself using warp ammo vs other ammos in MEAMP. Level 4 stuff gives what, 10% bonus damage? With the way priming and detonating works in Andromeda, I'd rather take a level 1 tech ammo vs getting a few extra % damage vs biotically primed enemies with warp ammo. I guess it might be good on kits with primers I don't want to cancel accidentally, but even then I'd just take disruptor.

Warp ammo was crazy powerful but it wasn't interesting. Mainly it was just rage inducing, as there was always someone detonating my huntress's dark channel or warp on the banshees/etc. Your detonation is less important than my warp ammo-warp/darkchannel-reegaring.

Fuck your reegaring. The guilty don't get to make demands. Justicars blow up what they want - whenever they want.

Because they spent 3 years jerking off to proceduraliy generated planets and landscapes instead of making a game. And by the time anyone with any sanity checked on them it was too late to do anything other than patch the mess up as best as possible, push out the resulting "game" to idiots like me who preordered based on their reputation, then move the few good employees to other divisions, fire all the rest and then run screaming hoping we'd all forget the ass fucking we took.

I mean visually the games nice, the combat isn't dire ok the gear progression is just garbage (I thought me2's planet scanner was boring but this game takes the cake on that one) but the stuff in the game is nice to look at and having spend more than 50 hours playing the sp game I think I can say It was worth the pre order price tag much more so than some other games have been (halo 5 took less than 5 hours to play through the first time, and only another 8 hours to generate most of the medals but cost the same amount.....) and hey my game came with a free mug and matchbox car when I picked it up in store ...... of course the mugs just a standard tin one with black paint that started to peel off because the kids use it but meh the car at least still looks like new (amazing since its in one of the toy boxes) thing is if they make a new mass effect game i'll probably buy it especially if its in the milky way, hmm actually so long as it doesn't include wall eye as the protagonist i'll buy an new Andromeda game as well and hope they managed to find a script writer and some people who can actually do inspirational voice acting (rather than sounding melancholy, tired and breathless all the time, that shit made me want to slit my wrists... urrgghh)

There are strings in the ME:A Master String file that list Warp Ammo. They intended it to be in at one point but that is the only evidence that it was ever part of the game.
