Charge 'N' Slam is a Heavy class specialization that causes its user to rampage forwards, dealing high damage and pushing opponents, and destroying structures. It also has a ground pound functionality.

Usage

Charge 'N' Slam can be selected as the specialization gadget of any Heavy build loadout.

The primary trigger can be used to activate Charge 'N' Slam. If the user is grounded, they will start charging forwards. The movement direction can be controlled by changing the looking direction, but not the speed.

If the user is airborne upon activation, a slam will be executed. It is also possible to perform one or multiple slams during a charge by jumping.

Stats

Effects

The Charge 'N' Slam can be activated to start charging in a direction. The user will lose control of their ability to move but can still control which direction they are moving in. During this time, the user can run through walls without being slowed down, also causing the walls to be destroyed instantly. Any opponents the user collides with in this state will take damage (with increased damage on the first hit) and get knocked back.

If the specialization is activated while airborne, or if the user jumps while charging, a slam will be triggered, which can break through a floor and deals damage and knocks away opponents on impact. The damage is based on how high up in the air the user slammed.

Guide

Strengths

Charge 'N' Slam can deal a lot of damage to a nearby target without them being able to retaliate as they are being knocked away.
Charge 'N' Slam can be used to get away by running through one or multiple walls.
Charge 'N' Slam is able to deal the most structure damage in the shortest time out of any item. For example, it is possible to take out most of the supporting walls of a single house in Monaco by running along the edges of its floor.

Weaknesses

The Stun Gun can stop a charge in its tracks.
Attempting to reach a far-away target with the Charge 'N' Slam while they have opened fire on its user will often end up with the user taking a lot of damage or being taken down as they are a very easy target in this state. Therefore, Charge 'N' Slam should generally only be used offensively when the target is already somewhat close.

Tactics

Charge 'N' Slam can be activated while out of combat if the opponents are still far away, as this provides a movement speed boost.

Item Mastery

Item mastery XP for Charge 'N' Slam has not been researched.

Each time a certain XP threshold is reached, the item levels up. This does not improve the item, but rewards a unique item customization.

+[[Charge 'N' Slam]] is a [[Heavy]] class specialization that causes its user to rampage forwards, dealing high damage and pushing opponents, and destroying structures. It also has a ground pound functionality.
-== Overview ==
+== Usage ==
-The Charge 'N' Slam is a specialization for the [[Builds|Heavy build]]. This specialization compliments a juggernaut-style and destruction-focused playstyle.
-== Interactions ==
+Charge 'N' Slam can be selected as the [[Specializations|specialization]] gadget of any [[Heavy]] build loadout.
-* When used, the player charges forward, destroying objects in their way and dealing significant damage and causing knockback to any enemy contestants who get hit. The charge deals 130 damage for the first hit and an additional 50 damage for each subsequent hit.
-* If used while airborne, the player slams to the ground when landing, resulting in a ground-pound with a reasonable area of effect that can cause notable damage to enemy contestants and the environment. Damage increases with distance fallen during the slam with a minimum of 55 damage and a maximum of 150 damage.
-== Strengths and Weaknesses ==
+The primary trigger can be used to activate Charge 'N' Slam. If the user is grounded, they will start charging forwards. The movement direction can be controlled by changing the looking direction, but not the speed.
-* The primary strength of the Charge 'N' Slam is the sheer destructive potential of a single charge. Secondly, it can make descending an additional opportunity to take down enemies directly below.
-* Its weakness lies in the lack of protection it brings with it. Though a Heavy build has a reasonable amount of health, it cannot withstand continuous hits and the Charge 'N' Slam can leave you overextended and lacking cover, making you a fairly easy target from medium to long ranges.
+If the user is airborne upon activation, a slam will be executed. It is also possible to perform one or multiple slams during a charge by jumping.
