Learn about Armor in Mass Effect 2, its weaknesses to Incinerate, and how enemies stack defensive types.

Armor is a defensive type primarily encountered on mercenaries and mechs in Mass Effect 2. It is particularly weak against abilities like Incinerate and ammunition types such as Incendiary Ammo. Most biotic-based abilities are ineffective against enemies with Armor.

Enemies can possess up to two defensive types stacked together. Following the health bar, some enemies may explode after their armor is pierced.

Tips
  • Commit to memory: Warp is effective against Barrier, Overload is effective against Shield, and Incinerate is effective against Armor.
  • Armor is weak against Incinerate and Incendiary Ammo.
  • Most biotic abilities are not effective against Armor.
  • Some enemies explode after their armor is pierced.
