Pax Charge

Pax Charge is an Arcane Enhancement for Kitguns that changes the Magazine type to a rechargeable battery, like that of the . Each rank of the enhancement reduces the recharge delay before ammo can regenerate.

Effect[]

Rank	Recharge Delay
0	12.5%
1	25%
2	37.5%
3	50%

Acquisition[]

Can be bought from Rude Zuud for 10,000 Standing 10,000 per arcane upon reaching the rank of Old Mate.

Notes[]

Recharge rate is not affected by mods or abilities. Recharge rate depends on the chamber part:

Recharge Rate
Chamber	Primary	Secondary
Catchmoon	5 ammo/sec	50 ammo/sec
Gaze	50 ammo/sec	50 ammo/sec
Rattleguts	50 ammo/sec	50 ammo/sec
Sporelacer	5 ammo/sec	25 ammo/sec
Tombfinger	50 ammo/sec	50 ammo/sec
Vermisplicer	50 ammo/sec	25 ammo/sec

Similar to Archguns and the Cycron, base recharge delay is equal to the reload time displayed on the weapon.
- Reduced reload time (recharge delay) is shown in the Arsenal upon equipping Pax Charge.
- Recharge delay is further reduced (stacking additively) by reload speed mods like Quickdraw and Stunning Speed.
Reduces the recharge delay by increasing reload speed. At max rank, it increases the reload speed by 50%, which reduces the recharge delay by 33.3%. See Reload Speed for the details.
- For example, with a Kitgun that has a reload time of 2.1 seconds:
  - Unranked Pax Charge will result in a recharge delay of ${\displaystyle { \frac{2.1}{1 + 12.5%} = 1.87 }}$ seconds, a reduction of 11.1%.
  - Rank 3 Pax Charge will result in a recharge delay of ${\displaystyle { \frac{2.1}{1 + 50%} = 1.4 }}$ seconds, a reduction of 33.3%.
Prevents the weapon from receiving benefit from reload-triggered mods or Arcanes such as Pressurized Magazine or Arcane Awakening.

Tips[]

Pax Charge is useful for prolonged missions due to never requiring actual ammunition, however this also means you are limited to essentially your original magazine size of ammo before having to recharge.
- Carrier sentinel, equipped with Ammo Case, is an alternative to keep ammo reserves up in missions, although this requires picking up of ammo and the sentinel to be alive.
- Pistol Ammo Mutation ( Primed) or Pistol Scavenger can be used as alternative as well, at a cost of a mod slot and capacity in a Kitgun or an aura slot in a Warframe, respectively.
Pax Charge can be used in conjunction with Synth Charge to reload only the last shot in the magazine, however it will often reload multiple shots before the player is able to fire them with semi-auto kitguns.
A Kitgun equipped with Pax Charge will almost always require a longer time to fully recharge the magazine than the actual normal reload of the weapon.
- The Sporelacer and Catchmoon secondaries, as well as both Tombfinger variants, can recharge faster than the game will automatically reload your weapon. However, there is a delay before the automatic reload starts that can be circumvented by manually reloading, which cannot be performed while using Pax Charge. While this can be circumvented with enough fire rate, it may be impractical to fire the weapons fast enough given their semi-automatic trigger type.
Recharge delay can be reduced by abilities that affect reload speed, but recharge rate will not be affected. Recharge delay is affected by:
- Chroma's Elemental Ward with Toxin alignment
- Volt's Speed
- Harrow's Penance
- Gauss's Redline
