In Charge

Class	Technical Ability Perk
Attribute	Technical Ability
Tier	Phenom (15)
Levels	1
Requires	Bolt
Affects	Only affects Tech Weapons

In Charge stops a Tech weapon firing by itself. Reaching full charge no longer releases the shot, so V decides when it leaves the barrel. It sits in the Tech weapon branch of the Technical Ability tree. It is a control perk, and control is what this branch is short of.

Effect

---

Tech weapons normally discharge the moment they are fully charged, which means a shot lined up a fraction too early is wasted and a target that steps behind cover takes the round in the wall.

Holding the charge indefinitely turns the weapon into something closer to a rifle with a long trigger pull. The shot waits for the opening rather than the opening waiting for the shot.

Character Builds

---

The build is a patient Tech weapon Technical Ability build that holds a charge for an opening rather than firing on a timer.

Buy it at the Phenom gate from Bolt, alongside Internal Clock. A Tech weapon with both perks behaves like a rifle with a long trigger pull, which suits a build that fights from a fixed position and shoots through cover rather than around it.

Notes

---

Internal Clock widens the Bolt window, and the two together remove almost all of the timing pressure from a Tech weapon.

Precision rifles and sniper rifles belong to the Cool tree, so a patient Tech build is the Technical Ability answer to the same problem.
