The weapon can be held in a charged state indefinitely, even during jump rolls. However, this reduces your character's move speed significantly.

Strategy
It is recommended to keep to a safe distance when using this weapon, because of the charge up time and the travel time of the arrow. It works well in a group setting where your allies can follow up on it, dealing extra damage or being able to back off if the tracked target is setting up an ambush.

However, if you are playing solo, it is recommended to pair this weapon with something that has a high fire rate with a moderate range, such as the pistol or AK, to be able to follow up and make use of the tracking function. Keeping this weapon out while you're walking around can help, as you wont have to switch to the weapon and then switch back to follow up on it, but be careful in close quarter areas.

You can also use this weapon as a determent of sorts, as tracked targets are less likely to take risks in a firefight, or close to a firefight. You can track one target, and then let your allies deal with the tracked target while you try to track another, or switch to your other weapon and assist them.
