Charged Shots now deal their Direct Damage to enemies hit by the projectile while in-flight, but it no longer explodes upon impact (functionally removing Area Damage). Deals x3 damage vs Frozen targets. Additionally: x0.3 AoE Radius. Regular Shots do [5 plus 25% of their Direct Damage] Heat per shot which can ignite enemies, and 70% of the Charged Shot's damage is converted to Fire-element + Heat.
Shoot the Charged Shot with a Regular Shot before it impacts anything to make it detonate for 240 Damage and carve terrain within a 3m radius. Additionally: x0.8 Heat per Regular Shot and x0.8 Heat per Charged Shot.
Regular Shots now do 10 Fire-element Area Damage in a 1.5m Radius in exchange for -10 Direct Damage.

Loadout Guide

Build Info

  • Use mostly charged shots
  • Shoot charged shot with normal shot to detonate from thin containment field to mine and to deal with high-priority targets (great against mactera swarms)
  • Use persistent plasma from charged shots for swarm AOE and to deal with swarmers

Loadout Recommendations

  • Thin Containment Field is amazing and irreplacable for mining so taking this alongside any decent general-purpose primary build would be fine
  • Consider taking alongside primaries focused on single-target damage and lacking in swarm clearing capabilities
