Editing Charge

'''Charge''' is the ammunition of the [[Gunboots]], shown as a row of blocks in the HUD. Every run starts with 8 charges; firing consumes an amount that depends on the current weapon, and the meter refills completely when you land, stomp an enemy, or bounce off a [[Doodads|doodad]] (or collect gems, with the [[Gem Powered]] upgrade).

A weapon fires as long as at least one shot's worth of charge remains — with 8 charges and a [[Shotgun]] (5 per shot), the leftover 3 still buy you one final blast.

== Charge cost by weapon ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Weapon !! Charge per shot
|-
| [[Machinegun]] || 1
|-
| [[Noppy]] || 1
|-
| [[Puncher]] || 2
|-
| [[Triple]] || 2
|-
| [[Burst]] || 3
|-
| [[Laser]] || 4
|-
| [[Shotgun]] || 5
|}

The HUD groups the charge blocks to match the current weapon's cost — in fours for the [[Laser]], in fives for the [[Shotgun]], and so on.

== Increasing max charge ==

* Battery-type [[Gun Modules|gun modules]] give +2 max charge on pickup.
* The [[Battery]], [[Energy Drink]] and [[Car Battery]] shop items raise it permanently.
* A 15-kill [[Combos|combo]] or better gives +1.
* The [[Tomato]] gives +10.
