History of Alternate Weapon Action

Overview

Alternate Weapon Action is the input that triggers a weapon's secondary action, separate from normal fire. Some weapons use it for a special attack once they are fully charged.

On Edge of Action, a fully charged glaive fires a special projectile when you press Alternate Weapon Action. Its origin trait works differently: the charge is spent so that the next shot deploys a shield, and passing through that shield gives a Void overshield plus better damage, reload speed and handling.
