Notes

• Does not trigger on any pistol with less than 6 max rounds in the magazine.
  • Magazine requirement is based on the base magazine of a gun. If the magazine is increased above 6 on a weapon that has below 6, it will still not be usable on that gun. However, if a gun has a magazine above 6 and it is reduced below that, the mod will still function.
• Damage stacks multiplicatively with Hornet Strike Hornet Strike.
• Damage of radial attack on weapons with AOE will be increased as well on the final shot.
• If used with the 3 knife spread alt fire of Fusilai Fusilai, all three knives will be affected by the multiplier.
• If Dual Toxocyst Dual Toxocyst's last shot is a headshot, the subsequent 'free' shots will all be affected by the mod until the buff is lost.
• With the set bonus, you can swap back and forth to re-fire the gun with one shot.
• If you're knocked down, your weapon is forced into its holster and begins automatically reloading.
• Has no effect on beam weapons.
• It pairs well with Catabolyst Catabolyst since the bonus damage is applied to the reload grenade.
• The alt fire of the Azima Azima always counts as expending the last shot in the magazine; thus, the bonus damage always applies to it.

Bugs

• Synth Charge cannot be equipped on the following weapons despite them meeting the magazine requirements;
  • Pyrana Pyrana (10 rounds) or Pyrana Prime Pyrana Prime (12 rounds), though this might be related to the Pyrana orginally holding 5 rounds from Update 13.6 (2014-06-04) to Update 21.0 (2017-06-29);
  • Kuva Brakk Kuva Brakk (11 rounds), though this might be related to the original Brakk Brakk only holding 5 rounds;
  • Zakti Prime Zakti Prime (8 rounds), though this might be related to the original Zakti Zakti only holding 3 rounds; and
  • Tenet Detron Tenet Detron (6 rounds), though this might be related to the original Detron Detron only holding 5 rounds, however the Mara Detron Mara Detron has 8 rounds and can equip Synth Charge normally.
• Synth Charge can be equipped on the Kulstar Kulstar, despite having a magazine capacity of 3.
