Make the Alternator viable

How about putting the alternator is the care package with disruptor rounds then you will be able to take the prowler out and then all of the smg will be able to compete with each other instead of the...

Hey,

This is a great idea! Alternator-vly (hahahaha get it? Man, I need to get out more), they could make it so that the Alternator can be charged with shield cells, just like the Sentinel! RE-45 can be included too. 

If they can balance out the shield cell cost per magazine, they can really get a nice weapon going! The time would be limited but yet it would feel powerful. Plus, I mean the charge up time is enough to get you killed (assuming it is equal to the Sentinel charge time).  

Now, as far as charge goes, this can either be "Disruptor" like how it was back then, or it can be a flat damage increase (my preference) so that it feels strong even in early-game.

:D

@lagaja09 Not sure what upping damage to 16 is going to do for the Alternator, its still going to be a low dps weapon.

    @BrainDeadWraiths I have no idea where you even got that number from, I don't think I have ever suggested a specific number for the Alternator.
