Disruptor Ammunition is an ammo type.
While loaded, disruptor ammunition coverts 20% of the weapon's damage into a disrupting pulse that strips enemies of a percentage of their ability energy and personal shield on direct hit. For each point of damage converted, direct hits drain 0.4% of the victim's maximum ability energy and personal shielding.
The disrupting pulse will not be affected by head or legshot multipliers, nor is it affected by damage fall-off. A direct hit will always drain the same amount of energy regardless of how far the target is or where the shot hits them.
MAXes and Defectors do not have their ability energy drained by Disruptor ammunition.

History[]
February 8, 2023 Update (Love Letter)
- This ammunition type has been standardized across most weapons.
- Each weapon has 20% of its direct damage converted into the weapon's disruption effect.
- A struck target's maximum shield and ability energy is reduced by 0.4% for every point of damage converted (this effect takes place after the initial bullet damage is dealt.)
- In each case (aside from the Thumper, which remains unchanged,) this ammunition type has received a buff. Previously, most weapons provided a flat 10% drain of maximum shield and energy.
- Strings related to this ammunition type now also better describe the actual effect, and references to unused legacy benefits have been removed.
- Lastly, this ammunition type was providing only the passive drawbacks (and no benefits) for the following weapons: Tempest, NC9 A-Tross, GD Guardian, AF-6 Shadow. Congratulations to anyone who has been playing on hard mode since the Arsenal Update.
Percent drains per shot for each weapon are listed below:
- NC9 A-Tross drains 16% per shot.
- MGR-A1 Vanquisher drains 16% per shot.
- AF-6 Shadow drains 27% per shot.
- The Executive drains 18% per shot.
- Tempest drains 13% per shot.
- GD Guardian drains 20% per shot.
- NS-03 Thumper and MGR-A1 Vanquisher's Disruptor Ammunition no longer saps energy from vehicles.
