History of Eddy Current

Overview

Eddy Current is a weapon trait that temporarily improves reload speed and handling after sprinting or while amplified. The effect is stronger while amplified. Bungie’s June 2024 update shortened its sprint activation requirement from three seconds to 1.5 seconds and added handling benefits; light.gg’s current trait record reflects the later description.
