Player Notes

• "Charge" referred to in Rank 1 for this power is the same thing as a Grenade. This means that grenades recharge over time for the player based on the Charge Regeneration Speed.
• Charge Regeneration Speed changes based on weapon weight the same way power cooldowns do. The Talon Mercenary only has grenade-based powers and no normal powers for cooldowns.
