"Blood rush and other combo mods don't work with and don't affect charged shot."

Who started this rumour? It's 100% false. Combo works fine with gunblades. It's easy to test. Use Blood Rush/Gladiator set with any flat crit buff (Naramon Void Stalker, Adarza Cat's Eye, Smeeta Charm, Harrow Retaliation, Arcane Avenger). Enjoy your red crits (Bullet Dance shots AND normal charged shots), and melt Eidolon limbs in moments. Nobody does this, because Void Stalker doesn't help you break Eidolon shields and gunblades eat Void Strike charges instantly, but it sure makes a mess of every other enemy.

And yes, it works with Redeemer Prime, too. Even better because of its higher base crit damage multiplier relative to older gunblades. It was outstanding on launch day, with random Smeeta buffs creating massive red crits on a normal Blood Rush build (like you do), and it's even better now that RP's innate crit chance works properly with charged shots. Of course, all of this will probably change with the reworked combo system and charged attacks as Melee 3.0 rolls out in further phases. But for now, gunblades + forced crit + Blood Rush is obscene.
