Adrenaline Rush - Notes

  • Cooldown starts after the ability wears off
  • The ability can be activated even while storming (fast running)
  • The ability greatly reduces recoil allowing for maximum precision.
  • Have in mind that higher time dilation means that fewer shots will be released. So for Sniper rifles Heightened Adrenaline may be better. However, for SMGs or Assault Rifles Hardened Adrenaline Rush is better
