Forge is a tier 6 passive skill in Moze's Bottomless Mags skill tree. This skill allows Moze to regenerate ammo constantly for her current weapon's magazine,
Effects[]
- Ammo Regeneration: +5% of magazine per second
Usage & Description[]
Forge serves as a utility tool, offering no actual damage bonuses, but allows Moze to have a virtually unlimited magazine. Unfortunately, the skill requires some finesse to synergize with some of Moze's other skills. The skill Click, Click... offers significant damage from emptying the magazine; Forge can either make that difficult, or it can allow for sustained fire on a very low magazine. Selfless Vengeance relies on reloading, which is the opposite of what this skill is intended to do, so the player must make sure to reload manually. Additionally, COV weapons do not benefit from the skill because their heat capacity is not affected by ammo regeneration (see notes below).
Moze has several other methods of restoring ammo, and this can make Forge unnecessary or redundant. In order to maximize the efficiency of this skill, Moze should use a large magazine weapon with a high fire rate, to fire as many bullets as possible. Unsurprisingly, Vladof weapons pair very well with this skill due to their inherently large magazines and good fire rate, opening up more synergies.
Notes[]
- Heavy ammo regeneration is 10% of the listed value (0.5% magazine per second).
- This stacks with Redistribution.
- The regeneration amount is based on total magazine size. Skills and artifacts that increase magazine size will increase ammo per second.
- Weapons that deplete their entire magazine/break in a single shot will not benefit from Forge. Examples include the Hellwalker, R.Y.N.A.H., and Agonizer 1500.
- Forge's ammo regeneration will continue while the player is in the ECHO menu or in Photo Mode, but not while paused.
- As COV weapons have no listed magazines and draw from the character's ammo pool, their ammo regen is instead based on their heat capacity, adding ammo until reserves are full. Therefore, simply leaving the game in ECHO Menu can be a good method to regain ammo. However, as COV only manufactures rocket launchers, pistols and assault rifles, it only works with said weapon types.
- One specific strategy is to exploit Extreme Hangin' Chadd's incredible heat capacity to resupply the costly reload-throws produced by Baby Maker.
- If ammo drops are picked up after firing a weapon and Forge is active, it will cause Moze to lose ammo in her reserve as the magazine is refilled instead of ceasing the regeneration.
