[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Charge Time/Range] "Tarantula is the weaker of the Linear Fusion Rifle family, though it can still do a couple interesting things for picking off individual targets. Field Prep/Firmly Planted help with consistency, Pulse Monitor in a "dueling" scenario, Moving Target for the Aim Assist bump, and Box Breathing for a one-time damage boost per-shot."
