If you pick up the hive before it deconstructs then one charge should remain, as long as that pistol stays in your hand. As soon as you holster the pistol you'll lose the skill tier.Originally Posted by desrocchi Go to original post
It does! As soon as you equip the pistol, you'll see the second charge being available. So if you pick up the Hive again after using one charge for your mate, it will have one charge left. And it will instantly start the cooldown for the second charge. Once you switch back to your primary weapon the cooldown will stop and you'll "just" have one regular charge.Originally Posted by desrocchi Go to original post
