what's the fastest way to move gauss red line to 100%?
Question/Request
I spam his 1 and his cold sunder but even when the battery is full the damn red line moves slow to 100. doesn't matter how much duration I put on. it's always like it needs 50% of ulti duration to reach 100. I wanna try the Chinese nuke gauss but sitting there and w8 for 100% to armor strip doesn't seem efficient to me. any tips?

I think you should examine the idea of Gauss sitting there
Afaik Redline needs 1/3 of its duration to reach 100%, at minimum. Increasing ability duration increases the time it takes Redline to reach 100%, but also buffs fire/attack/reload speed.
You want to be maxed out to the line before going into redline, then you can mix spamming Mach Rush and Thermal Sunder (cold) to spike your battery up the bulb.
The number represents the minimum your battery can fall, but your actual battery level is the blue graphic. As long as you keep it above the line, the percentage will grow.
A recent ish change to armor strip no longer requires gauss to get a full strip in one cast, as long as you cast cold to get to full battery, then heat, then cold again unless you're taking a lot of hits and Kinetic Plating is draining your battery, you should full strip.
Once you get to 100 nothing you do can drop it.
As someone mentioned, the duration of redline is based on your duration stat, but it always takes a percentage of the full duration of the ability to hit 100% permanently, so you'll have to focus more on cold casts, Mach Rush and movement until you cap it. Remember that if gauss stands still his battery drains and if he's sprinting is fills.
Gauss will always reward the active play style. Run fast, make it cold, never stop moving, melee enemies - probably takes less than 10 secs to get max with decent enemy density. That's like 60 secs of full red line with enough duration.
Im a bit late to the party, but could you explain how that works ? Your suggestion is his "Cold - Thermal Sunder" makes the battery load faster. What's the premises for that, like the number of Cold proc´ed Enemies or simply spam 3 anywhere until it's full, or how does that work exactly?
My Build is a "Gun´n´Run" set up with Energize Munition. 300% duration, 34% range and the rest is neutral 100%. If i want to fill the meter to the max by running, it seems i lose 45s of my 90s Red Line, which makes it kind of unsustainable. Im open for tips ^^.
It always takes 50% of his duration to get there. For the full armor strip get the gauge high and if you apply your own heat with weapons then you can tap 3 to get the blast proc to armor strip. Otherwise you can hold 3 to apply the heat proc and then rebuild it up before doing the cold proc.
What i do is hold 3, tap 3, hold 3, tap 3 and by that time they are full armor stripped.
