Charge mechanic to equip Thermite Grenades
A unique feature of the Rampage LMG is that it has a charge mechanic similar to the Sentinel. The Sentinel allows players to power-up the weapon enabling Disruptor Mode by using 2 shield cells.
The Rampage will operate in a similar way, except it will use a single Thermite grenade. Once the weapon is charged and “revved up” - as the developers are calling it - the weapon will have an increased fire rate of 30%.
When revved up the Rampage can blow up doors, handy if you’re out of Frag Grenades and Arc Stars and want to open up an opportunity to shoot those cowards.
