History of Eddy Current

Overview

Eddy Current is a weapon trait that temporarily improves reload speed and handling after sprinting or while amplified. The effect is stronger while amplified. Bungie’s patch 8.0.0.1 shortened its sprint activation requirement from three seconds to 1.5 seconds and added handling benefits; light.gg’s trait record describes the effect.
