You lose access to Cryo Ammo however, a tank only cares about surviving.Incendiary Ammo only gets 1 rank, but it can still catch enemies on fire just as easily as rank 4.Heavy Disruptor Ammo and Concussive Blast make your Soldier the best against synthetics and husks.īarrier only at 2 ranks costs you some survivability.You get access to all three ammo powers, though none of them are maxed.Your Soldier is able to deal with everything except enemy Barriers, leaving you with less holes to fill by squad mates. I recommend trying both if you like the Shock Trooper specialization. The second build has points in all 7 powers but only has 3 maxed powers. The first build specializes in 5 maxed powers. There are two possible squad point distributions in which no squad points are left over. However, Shock Troopers can still be built to survive much longer than other classes. Most of the passive health bonuses are also gone. Immunity, the best tank skill, was removed from the game.

Unlike Mass Effect 1, the Shock Trooper is not really a tank. The Shock Trooper is all about keeping your Soldier alive.
