Syphon baton

The is a weapon that can draw energy from the targets that it hits, storing that energy into any non-full energy cell that is slotted into it.

The is capable of pulling charge:
 * Directly from creatures or objects that it hits, if those creatures or objects are capable of generating or transmitting energy. For example, this is true if the target has the Electrical Generation mutation, is a robot with integrated power systems, or is an object that generates or transmits power, such as a or.
 * From the equipment or inventory of the target that is hit, if any of those items holds an energy cell or is otherwise capable of generating energy.
 * From the cybernetics of the target, if those cybernetics are capable of generating energy.

Each hit with the draws  energy from the target and, if there is enough room, stores that energy into the energy cell that is slotted into the. The hit does not need to penetrate for this effect to succeed. Only a single target will be syphoned from for each hit (either the creature or one of its items).

The does not itself consume any energy to function - it only steals energy from targets.

This weapon can be found as random loot in mid-tier or high-tier zones or built with Tinker II after acquiring the required schematic.

Average Time to Recharge an Energy Cell
Assuming the target has charge available to steal, the takes, on average, this many hits to recharge an energy cell from empty to full:
