Does Overcharge and Call Of Brine stack?

I was gonna do a build revolving of Insidious and Dragons Grip. I was gonna put on Call Of Brine but I remember Overcharge exists so I put on Overcharge instead, but then I thought about if I put on both. So if I equip both, Will I get a 255 regression on gens?

    I'm confident believing that regression begins at 125% and then caps at whatever Overcharge says.

    I like your idea of 255% regression though.

    They do stack, which is part of the reason why they got nerfed. In the old '3-gen meta', with Overcharge and Call Of Brine both being at 200%, you could have a gen regress at 400% if nobody stopped it in time, making this combination insanely strong.

    However, even after the nerfs they still stack, but the effects are of course not as strong as before.

    They stack, but the maximum is 155%, not 255%.

    The regression values in those perk descriptions include the base 100% regression, so when thinking about putting these two perks together, we can only include that 100% once, not twice. On its own, Overcharge essentially starts at 85%, and then over 30 seconds it increases by 45%, up to 130%. CoB on its own makes it 125% of normal for 60 seconds, or in other words, adds an extra 25% to the normal regression rate.

    So if you use both of them, the regression will start at 110% of normal (85% from Overcharge + the 25% extra from CoB) and then gradually increase over 30 seconds to 155%. After 60 seconds total have passed, then it will go back down to 130% (because CoB only works for 60 seconds).
