I'm curious. Why not using Warp Rounds for Biotic kits using Warp to prime targets?

Warp/Incendiary glitch for maximum cheese deeps.

This ammo is only BARELY effective in silver.... gold and above it's a complete joke..... :pinched:

....I share Clyde's sentiments on this matter. The only way i would use this ammo is if it was configured they way Crashsuit did it a few years ago I believe...whatever he did to it on PC made it more relevant and effective...

I'm flattered but you're probably thinking of something Mgamerz did.

Warp is coded as a fire based DOT power so warp dot stacks with incendiary dot which when coupled with the debuff of warp can put out massive damage.
That's why I like to run incendiary saber on the huntress on platinum. I can have multiple dot running on separate enemies or both running on one big enemies.

Incendiary glitch. Incendiary rounds glitch with Warp and kill things super fast.

PPR is best with one of AP + Mag + Dmg Barrel, or Warp / IA + Mag + Piercing mod (whichever)

Cyonan had either removed or changed the damage cap on the explosion way back when to make them useful.

Yeah, besides the fact that PPR has high ROF and so you stack IA DOT abnormally high, you inherit Warp's* damage multipliers when you roll the DOT together, which is big difference especially given that you can now damage shields with IA.

*Incinerate and Inferno Grenade as well.

Explosive ammo III is ok for Gold with some set-ups like an Infilttrator with the Widow or BatSent with the Kishock with the very low overall HP Gold units have, it's practically useless for Platinum though.

Aren't those the things you throw at people and scare them with the sound?

Actually these might have been more useful in game.

Plenty of people have given you good advice on why the other ammo choices are better.

Nobody has really fully answered your question fully though.

Warp Ammo does NOT prime, despite the Warp in it's name. It only does additional damage to primed targets and against armor.

All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.
