- Recall: Bounds backward in time, returning the player to their previous position, consuming ammunition to replenish the Pulse Pistols' magazine, and restoring the player's
Health to its highest value in the past 5 seconds. Goes into a 13-second cooldown when used.
The Pulse Pistols are a Hitscan weapon without First Shot Accuracy.
