I was messing around with gun customisations since you don't need levels anymore and noticed this scope is only for the Chanit? Is it supposed to be only for this gun or maybe just forgot to add this for the other guns too?
Of course there's a lot of things to consider, range, animations, attack speed it'd be probably hard to add but would be nice to use some of the harvesting tools as skins for melees, maybe by weapon category too...
In short: If she uses her ability on an enemy the next tick damage(s) will be lower...so if you're using viral-heat on your weapon she can screw your damage over.
Basically you shouldn't use your abilities as Ember...well not to engage...
