Energy Transfer or Nano Recharge?

They both seem to have very similar benefits tactically and I can't decide which to use.

Opinions?

Nano recharge upgrade two speeds up your engery recharge by double, I use it in all my classes, very versatile.

Agree, it is by far the most useful of all tier 1 perks, once it is at least level 2. Energy superregen allows you to use your suit at the maximum of its capabilities, and when you have it fully upgraded, you can recover very fast from firefights, allowing you to engage combat more often, so more kills, etc...

Looks like I may go for this then. Only issue is I barely ever use Armour and it took for ever to get to level 6 and I now need to get to level 8 for another module to buy it!

I'm at 12 for Stealth and Power, but it wasn't for grinding Armour in the first place, i'd honestly only be at about 2-3, and even then simply because Maximum nanosuit kills count towards it.

Grind, here I come...

I use Energy Transfer.
You engage an enemy, you kill him, your energy is at max again. If you can switch fast from stealth to armor, you can walk hidden a lot, just hunt someone to recharge your energy back to max and hit the stealth. =)

This is what's great about this game. Different styles of play work. But you have to do some thinking to select the right modules to suit your style. Energy transfer for me.

If you're playing crash site use energy transfer cause you can stay in maximum armour longer by killing ppl

I personally would go with Energy Transfer, being the fact you can break stealth for a kill, then go right back into it for a quick get-away. (If you're into being sneaky that is)

I agree with some of the other posters, you can really go either way with these modules. I've tried them both and the both have a place, I'm just working on leveling up some of the other modules at the moment, but will go back to using one of them.

I've been using Energy Transfer and I couldn't be happier. I haven't used the Nano Recharge though.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've gone with Nano Recharge.

Both have similar advantages, but i've found Nano Recharge better simply because in objective games, specifically Extraction and Capture the Relay, it has the added advantage that I can steal the objective a lot easier as my energy comes back a lot quicker when making my escape back to base. Often you have to cover the map and need at least one pit stop where you are very vulnerable, so this cuts that down and makes a huge difference as that's usually when you get killed as the carrier.

Takes forever to get to level 3 though (1500 recharges!!!), but thankfully the energy recharge is at level 2.

I prefer energy transer. Helps with my sneaky sniper class.

Cloak -> Headshot -> Instant cloak again.
