Something I noticed before... but it seems to act more and more like a bug to me...
Gridguns and such "recharge" to shoot after the initial first 3 shots. However...suppose you fire 2 and kill something and move on. The next thing you fight, no matter how long it has been it seems, is the final shot of those 3 before it has to recharge again. Also...after it is done recharging, if you fire immediately you can only get 1 more shot out before it has to recharge again, not the three. Incase that doesnt make much since...
1) 3 shots to recharge for firing, regardless of time gap between these shots
2) Not fully recharging after the waiting period... see example below

Fumbling a bit in the process of taking a shot, you fire a gatling-gauss gun with digital smartlink and targeting feeds at a borkin settler. Amazingly, you land a slight hit to her left arm as a borkin settler fails to dodge the attack.

normally...that second shot, shown here as the "... wait 1 second," shows up as the gatling-gauss gun isnt ready to fire...after the 1 shot. I had a quick recharge after this instance though.
EDIT: ok...just did it again...

Awkwardly, a hoaweisho doe attempts to ram you. With skill, you dodge the attack, barely breaking a sweat.

Patiently waiting for a good shot, you fire a gatling-gauss gun with digital smartlink and targeting feeds at a hoaweisho doe. In short order, you land a fair hit to her chest as a hoaweisho doe fails to dodge the attack.
A hoaweisho doe is completely dazed by the attack!

A hoaweisho doe falls still.

Thanks. I don't know if this will even be addressed in test, but maybe.

I figured that that's how it was supposed to be. It recharges enough for one shot, then you get the message, but it keeps recharging so you can fire off three eventually. |

Thats the thing though....eventually. It should be 3 shots, wait..3 shots, wait...3 shots, wait i think. Like a gatling gun. They have to wind down after firing. Once done winding down the barrel locks in place and is ready to unleash hell. |

This would actually be to your disadvantage.

I misundertstood this thread. It is intended that pulse weapons, including grid/splatter, charge one shot at a time up to their max. It is also intended you are not informed of recharge until it is fully at three charges.

I think there's a bug in that... maybe. Lemme check.
*slightly later* Yeah, it informs you when it's ready to fire one shot, but then it recharges really fast... let me try to get some IG code in here real fast.

The distinct whirring sound that barely emanates from an advanced Rtuzma heavy pulse rifle with a rugged black and gray finish informs you that it is ready to fire again.

Your pulse rifle is not yet ready to fire again.

It fires twice, then gives me the recharge message and I fire off another shot real fast, I try a second one and it says it's not charged. Then, almost instantly it tells me that it's ready. So I dunno if it's giving me the message after it's charged for one shot, or if it IS charging fully, but giving me the message slightly early, or something weird like that. |

It takes a little bit for non-multi hit ones to reach full charge. You can just keep firing once and waiting for the recharge, or wait a little bit for all three.

| I thought Trevor was saying that it shouldn't inform you until it has reached full charge. Maybe I misunderstood something somewhere. |

Er um, sorry, it only tells you when it goes from 0 to 1. I just remembered making it so you didn't get a spam message per charge. <g>
