- ✅ Charge shots are effective against groups of enemies, while normal shots are safer in close combat.
- ⚠️ The explosion range of the charge shot is wide at 3m, so there is a risk of self-harm when used at close range.
| Firing Mode | Advantage | Disadvantage |
|---|---|---|
| Charge Shot | High damage, suppresses groups of enemies | Slow rate of fire, risk of self-harm at close range |
| Normal Shot | Fast rate of fire, safe in close combat | Low damage, disadvantageous against single targets |
