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

This is an AOE focused build designed to spread burning sludge puddles around the battlefield by coupling it with the EPC using the plasma burn mod. Shooting sludge puddles with the EPC that has the plasma burn mod will ignite the puddle and the fire will spread to nearby puddles as well. Note: It takes 3 normal shots from the EPC to ignite a puddle. This makes it quite easy to cover a large area in flaming sludge and provides up to 4 different sources of DOT damage if you also take persistent plasma mod for the EPC. All of this combined makes for an extremely powerful area denial tool that can cover even the largest of swarms in a matter of seconds.
