**It bears repeating this effect occurs on ''dealing damage'' – not kills. | |||
**This makes Ravenous Beast ''incredibly'' effective against minor or elite enemies with large health pools; notably, the [[Brig]] and its elite variants are the ideal target, as they are effectively "free money" and result in a permanent time extension – until you shred them into dust, that is. | |||
The exact coefficients for the second effect of Ravenous Beast – time extension – are not currently known. It appears that extension is not proportional to damage, but rather simply bullets making contact – which is in-line with, and identical to, the charging behavior. Regardless, spraying into a set of enemies, or "sweeping" across a group of Minors and Elites, can extend the duration significantly, enough for another reload, a full 180 turn to find new enemies, turning back to the miniboss for some more damage, ''et cetera''. AP Rounds stack as expected here too, meaning a small group of Minors can easily feed the entire 0:03 seconds with just a single magazine, provided you overpenetrate and hit more than one target. | |||
Capitalizing effectively on Ravenous Beast, along with maintaining it, requires situational awareness in both PVE and PVP: so that no time is wasted "finding" an enemy to target, and that any time needed to acquire new targets is offset properly. Thus, practice is required: for map timings (crossings, distance engagements), spawn point predictions, and honing in on your particular build, both in PVE and PVP. | Capitalizing effectively on Ravenous Beast, along with maintaining it, requires situational awareness in both PVE and PVP: so that no time is wasted "finding" an enemy to target, and that any time needed to acquire new targets is offset properly.
