@Leo_the_Lion25 I honestly still feel it's too strong, considering the hitscan kinda stacks onto the speed reduction and blinding effect when it hits you.

I knida theorized a possibly nerf/buff with friends that might be good too though. What if it were buffed somewhere between now and original, but made into a care pack weapon? Then it wouldn't be so cancerously prevalent, but would still be an enjoyable and strong weapon, that wasn't absolutely toxic.

    @Reinwolf23 I'm sorry, it's still a little overpowered the way it is now.

    I saw someone get hit for 140s in one shot. I was shocked to see this happen. I never knew a Charge Rifle could do 140 damage in one shot to the head against white armor and a white helmet. Wraith went from like 150 HP to 1-3 HP. She was almost dead.

    I guess they have to get rid of the Tick damage or something. If they do, they would have to increase the damage of the beam to 50.

    I assume the Tick Damage of the weapon can headshot? I can't tell as I can't even figure out how a Charge Rifle did 140s to a 150 Level 1 Armor/Helmet Wraith.

    That Wraith was a Predator in a Predator Lobby as well. He had no choice but to be a rat due to events in that happened to his team. So whoever headshot him across the map already has god like aim made easier with the Charge Rifle. Granted, the Wraith wasn't moving until they got hit and phased away.

      Like I said, I honestly feel it would be best served as a care pack weapon, with a slight buff. As it is jow, the mastiff and kraber totally outshine it, at least imo, so it would need at least a slight buff. It's honestly not terrible to fight against, other than how toxically numerous it is.

        I wish I could delete this thread lol.

        I would like it to get another nerf. I hate getting third party by this weapon. If it was a Care package weapon. I would be fine with it as long as it had a super rare spawn rating. 

        You can give it 12 + 60 Ammo for a total of 24 shots before it is empty. 

        I also noticed that the people using the Charge Rifle are terrible when you get closer to them and SMG/Assault/LMG/Shotgun them.
