Infinite Charge Weapons
Some players are in possession of weapons that have DOTs with infinite charges. These weapons should not exist in the game. We are asking players who have these broken weapons to please contact a customer service representative who will reset the DOT charges to 3,000. Attempting to keep and use these weapons can result in having the weapon confiscated. We also advise players not to purchase these weapons from other players.

We are in the process of resolving the bug that causes this issue. Part of the resolution will be to destroy any weapon not fixed by a CS representative.
