Where to find the Charge SMG and how it works

　　Unlike a traditional gun, the Charge SMG is true to its name and must be charged up to make the most of its power. By holding down the fire button on your device of choice, you can see a red bar fill up to let you know how many bullets will be sprayed from the gun upon release. This means that you'll have to be proactive in fights, finding corners and other barriers that allow you to charge up your clip before unleashing it into unsuspecting foes.

　　You can fire small bursts without charging it, but you'll likely find limited success in this manner. That being said, mastering the art of unloading an entire charged clip of the gun promises massive amounts of damage potential, as landing all of your shots will all but guarantee a kill.
