Notes[]

Charge can be trickier to use compared to other skills. This skill requires an unobstructed path to the target, the target not directly behind cover, and the target in range. If these conditions aren't met, there are several types of onscreen messages that will flash indicating why the skill can't be used - TARGET REQUIRED, TARGET OBSTRUCTED, TARGET UNREACHABLE, or INVALID TARGET.

Achievements and trophies[]
