Recharger Rifle

The recharger rifle is a weapon

Background
The recharger rifle is the first version of a self-charging weapon with effectively limitless ammunition. As the first version of such a weapon, it suffers from a limited power capacity and low effectiveness of the built-in microfusion breeder. The microfusion breeder recharges at about one round every second, meaning a fully discharged rifle takes 7 seconds to recharge. Its evolved and far more advanced counterpart is the recharger pistol.

Gameplay
It takes about one second to recharge, requiring the Courier to pace their shots to compensate.

Durability
The recharger rifle can fire approximately 370 times from full condition before breaking.
