Strategy
Return to Sender gives you the unique ability to both shield Booker while preparing an attack and create a forcefield that replenishes your ammo, depending on which attack you use.
The normal fire version of Return to Sender creates a shield that lasts for four to five seconds that, while active, absorbs any ammo fired at you and puts it into your own reserve. This replenishes your ammo while protecting you from damage.
The alternate fire version of Return to Sender also creates a shield but drains your Salts as long as you hold the button. Releasing the button sends out an explosive projectile that deals a huge amount of damage, compounded by any bullets sent your way! This is extremely useful against enemies like the Motorized Patriot—absorb a hail of Crank Gun fire, then send it back toward your attacker!
