Requires Double the Amount of Battery Charges

Needs Double Battery Charges

Do keep in mind that engaging Expert Challenge bosses in Burnout Mode also requires twice the amount of Battery Charges. Normally, Expert Challenges require 40 Battery Charges. In Burnout Mode, one fight will use up 80.

However, Proxies may turn Burnout Mode on or off depending on how they wish to manage their Battery consumption.
