In this post I'm going to list any data we've released publically that is not listed in game. I won't duplicate other data that's already publically available (i.e. data deduced from parsing ini files, that doesn't mean I endorce those deductions as correct).

Weapon Damage Modifiers vs Resistances
M-3 Predator: x1.5 armor

M-6 Carnifex: x1.5 armor

M-4 Shiriken: x1.5 shields, barrier

M-9 Tempest: x1.5 shields, barrier

M-8 Avenger: x1.25 shields, armor, barrier

M-15 Vindicator: x1.25 shields, armor, barrier

M-76 Revenant: x1.4 armor, x1.2 shields, barrier

Geth Pulse Rifle: x1.15 armor, x1.35 shields, barrier

M-23 Katana: x1.5 shields, barrier

M-27 Scimitar: x1.5 shields, barrier

M-300 Claymore: x1.25 armor, shields, barrier

M-92 Mantis: x1.5 armor

M-97 Viper: x1.35 armor, x1.15 shields, barrier

M-98 Widow: x1.5 armor

M-100 Grenade Launcher: x1.25 armor, shields, barrier

ML-77 Missile Launcher: x1.25 armor, shields, barrier

M-622 Avalanche: x8.0 armor, shields, barrier (low damage weapon)

M-920 Caine: No bonus damage

Particle Beam: x1.5 shields, barrier

M-451 Firestorm: x1.35 armor, x1.15 shields, barrier



Power Damage Modifiers vs Resistances:
Warp, Reave: x2 armor, barrier

Overload, Shield Jack: x2 shields

Concussive Shot: x3.5 barrier (note this is a low damage power)

Incinerate: x2.4 vs armor

Incendiary Grenade: x2 vs armor

All other biotics: x1.5 barrier

All other tech powers: x1.5 shields



Weapon powers always deal full damage to resistances they're described as good against, otherwise they deal no additional damage. For example, incendiary ammo deals no extra damage to shields, but does deal extra damage to armor.

Shotgun Mechanics
All shotguns in the game fire eight pellets in variable spread pattern. If you shoot at a wall you'll only see 4 impacts because that's all we render, but in game there are 8 separate projectiles each which causes damage separately.

Blood Dragon Armor
In addition to the 15% power damage bonus noted, this armor also increases shields by 10%.

A few people are unsure about what category certain powers fall under. The category of a power determines which upgrades it receives. Upgrades like + Power Damage % affect all powers. Here is the complete list.



Biotics:



Pull

Throw

Singularity

Warp

Shockwave

Slam

Reave

Barrier

Biotic Charge

Dominate



Tech:



AI Hacking

Incinerate

Overload

Combat Drone

Cryo Blast

Neural Shock

Geth Shield Boost

Tech Armor

Tactical Cloak

Energy Drain



Combat:



Adrenaline Rush

Concussive Shot

Fortification

Incendiary Grenade



Weapon:



All ammo powers are in their own power category, so they don't get bonuses from + Tech or Biotic upgrades.

Ammo powers make a second damage call separate from the initial weapon damage call, and they use their own damage multipliers on resistances and health, as Christina mentions above.



Example:

If the initial regular weapon damage is 100 against a target with shields, then:

With Disruptor Ammo rank 1, you do an additional 20 damage to shields. If any of this damage passes through to health, it is negated (unless hitting a synthetic enemy) since this ammo power does nothing to health.

With Incendiary Ammo rank 1, you do no extra damage since this ammo type does nothing to shields.

pulse rifle, ehh that 1 from tali's recruit mission?

i finished the game just now...the reaper is coming!!

The only way to prevent my tech specialist from dying is to choose Tali or Legion? How is it like that? Any explanation? I chose Jacob and he died, though i never really liked him much so i can live with that.

And the part where you have to choose a biotic to protect you from the swarms and another person to distract the collectors, will the characters i choose for the mission affect who will die?
