Do equipment bonuses stack?
In Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, you can equipment bonuses for your character in the equipment screen:
My question is, if I equip two bonuses that effect the same stat, will they both stack with each other, or will I only get the benefit of whichever one provides the greater effect?
For example, in my above screenshot, I have
- Power Efficiency II in my armor slot, which increases my power recharge rate by 20%.
- Structural Ergonomics I in my gear slot, which increases my power recharge rate by 5%.
With both of these equipped, will my power recharge rate now be 20% + 5% = 25% faster, or will only the 20% increase from Power Efficiency II apply?
Best Answer
Sure, they stack. If for example you got a Human Adept with 1 point assigned to Singularity and nothing else, with no weapons, gear or modules equipped, you get a recharge time of
Recharge Speed: 2.67s = 8(base value) / (1 + 2)
Where 2 =
- +2 Weight Cooldown Bonus
On the other hand, if you equip the gear and module you listed you get a recharge time of
Recharge Speed: 2.46s = 8(base value) / (1 + 2.25)
Where 2.25 =
- +0.2 Power Efficiency Module II
- +0.05 Structural Ergonomics I
- +2 Weight Cooldown Bonus
You can obtain all those numbers with a calculator, my favorite one is Narida's which is where i took these values.

Yes. In general, bonuses stack, unless they're from the same spell (see \u201cCombining Magical Effects\u201d in the Player's Handbook, p. 205). You also can't benefit from more than one ring of protection, for instance, since you can't attune to more than one copy of an item at a time.Do enhancement bonuses stack?
