Marketed under the '''Ultra''' brand, T2 condenser packs can only be used with Tech 2 and Faction Vorton Projectors. ElectroPunch Ultra is higher damage, shorter range ammo compared to BlastShot & GalvaSurge, while SnipeStrike exceeds MesmerFlux and SlamBolt in range and damage. Both types of ultra condenser packs increase capacitor need by 25% and reduce explosion velocity by 25%. | Marketed under the '''Ultra''' brand, T2 condenser packs can only be used with Tech 2 and Faction Vorton Projectors.
