When to pick it
Your partner has a useful gun and the edge connection fits.
When to skip it
Cross-bag placement would dismantle either player’s working attack.
Priorities
Useful equipment and guides
Player one carries Battery near the shared edge. Player two places an active Pistol inside Battery’s selector. Battery adds chance-based lightning when the marked Pistol hits. Both players keep a working weapon; the support owner’s gun does not automatically receive the same benefit.
No particular character pair is required. Use the partner’s Pistol when it is already useful and can retain its other support at the shared edge.
Battery positioning
Move and rotate Battery until it marks the partner’s Pistol, then have that player inspect the receiver. Tell each other before moving either piece. A merge, bag extension or weapon replacement can break the connection while Battery appears unchanged.
If the relation won’t fit, support a compatible weapon in Battery’s own bag for now. Keep two independent builds until sharing the effect becomes useful.
Shared scrap and upgrades
Rerolls, scrap, experience and stash are shared. Compare both backpacks before spending. Getting the weaker player’s weapon active can be more useful than another optional damage item for the stronger player.
Battery’s owner can use a separate melee or ranged weapon; there is no need to duplicate the Pistol loadout. If the partner later replaces Pistol, check the new recipient’s eligibility and selector position.
Weapon replacements and bosses
Random lightning supplements an attack that already hits enemies. Keep independent damage in each bag so a broken shared connection doesn’t dismantle the team’s whole setup. At bosses, preserve movement instead of depending on lightning to rescue a weak base attack.
