Nerf the Charge Rifle - PLEASE I BEG YOU

The charge rifle needs to be nerfed ASAP. Ranked mode is becoming a charge rifle war, and would be much more enjoyable if the gun wasn’t so overpowered. Maybe it should have a longer cool down time in between shots

Charge Rifle makes getting the 300 meter knockdown badge so easy. I had it at 210 in Season 2. Today, I got it on a looting Mirage at exactly 300 Meters away. I was not trying but notice the Mirage was looting and the distance to shoot him was exactly 300 meters. My bullet went straight to him and I hit him for 75 damage knocking him. My drone finds him knocked and I EMP so his team won't go for him. My Gibby teammate thirsted him for me. 

It would be OK as a supply drop only gun, but when you don't find one and then face a squad who has 3, it is not fun at all. Ruins the game completely

I think Respawn should increase the charge rifles base charge time and allow it to use a turbocharger hop up to decrease charge time, hopefully that will make it more skillful to use and It will be about perfect timing.

I completely agree with this post. This gun needs at least the damage drop depending on distance fired, like 75% damage past 100 meters and 50% past 150-200 meters, otherwise its almost unplayable when the enemy team blast you from the other side of the map. It just ruins so many aspects of the game, like scouting for example. You managed to check and secure the area, ambush the enemy squad, and when you win - you instantly die to some random charge rifle shot from a rooftop of a different zone so far away you cant even see the dot on the screen that killed you. There's no counter play to that, and no, you can't just hide and flank the enemy. They had a first lethal shot on you and the laser charges so fast you won't be able to close the distance in open areas even only 10 meters long (like from one building to another) without being hit at least once. And the only way to snipe them back is if you have your own charge rifle, which is another aspect that is ruined by this gun - weapon diversity, so you absolutely must have at least one such rifle in your squad to put counter pressure on the enemy snipers, cause other sniper rifles wont work here - add your aim time to bullet travel time, and the enemy has already had 1 full shot on you with a charge rifle AND has time left to dodge your bullet by strafing into cover.

This gun is so unbalanced. I'm tired of getting beamed from across the map. 

Make it an airdrop gun with limited ammo or remove it. 

I do enjoy the new charge rifle that has been put into the circulation. However I do think there is one problem with it currently. And that is ironically the charge time. I feel for something as powerful as this rifle that it should have more of a delay between shots. The spamming that is happening with a weapon of this calibre is unreal. Not only does it deal pre damage and a decent overall DPS its fire rate is insane for this type of archetype. If there's going to be a nerf and we all know it's coming, it should be the timing between shots. I say add on another charge cycle for time and it should be balanced. 

Respawn & EA

I love your game, but Season 3 is rough, really rough……..

Charged rifles are like EVERYWERE you hear the sound zzzzzzzzz BOOM gone is all your puple Shields,, BOOM dead….

Tbh i dont care about the weapon it self so please keep it in, BUT put it in care packages there be maybe 1 in a game and not a whole zerg of them. The weapon itself is worse than a kraber (slightly less dmg but fires faster) so more deadly and you put a ton of them in a game.

So...…..Fix is put it in care packages get it under Control..

You can thank me later

Dear Respawn, 

I know you've all worked really long and hard on Star Wars: Fallen order, and probably must be super excited so close to its release, but please;

dont get too excited so that you put elements from Fallen order into Apex. Because thats exactly what this game is now since the introduction of the Charge rifle.

Every game the same; multiple team, scattered around the map, trading Charge rifle beams like its the Battle for Endor (or Hoth if you are near the Epicenter =). All you hear the entire mid game is "pew pew pew pew pew" like a continuous loop. And if you push one of the teams, the other teams will have a field day since nothing is easier than picking off two teams in close combat at a safe distance with this insane gun.

ps.

I think you should change the Apex legends logo, from   to   .  It would make much more sense since the latter is what you see, flashing in your left corner for 90% of the early game.
