Charge Rate

Charge Time (Fusion Rifle only) is a ranged weapon stat that the smaller the Charge Time is the longer it takes the Fusion Rifle to fire. The higher the stat the faster your Fusion Rifle fires.

• In PvE, the charge time can influence how you utilize cover, with longer charge times allowing you to stay behind hard cover while you prime the charge, stepping out for just a moment to unleash a powerful blast.

• In PvP, don’t expect to beat a shotgun at point-blank range, even with a very short charge.

• One critically important point: changing the Charge Time stat affects damage. If you have a slow charge time, you’re going to hit harder, but if you have a fast charge time, your shots are weaker. You must decide if you want all your damage dealt in one big, slower burst, or distributed across several weaker but faster blasts.
