Please revert the Charge Rifle and reduce its damage.

Please revert the Charge Rifle and reduce its damage.

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the Charge Rifle, but I still believe that reverting it is the right choice. The Charge Rifle holds an irreplaceable place in the memories of many veteran players. While its performance in competitive play has indeed been too straightforward, it could be balanced by reducing the damage of its final shot, rather than making it as short-lived as it is now.

    I am not sure what the issue is, but I just want to say I want the charge rifle to do max damage as it is my favorite sniper. I have so much fun with it. And it is so satisfying to do damage with it compared to most any other weapon out there.

    @MrGreenWithAGun They meant returning it to when it was a hit-scan beam. I personally like the new version of the Charge Rifle.

    @Midnight9746 The current is the old Titanfall 2 version.
    Also, they said that this game was not the place for hitscan. That's why they reverted to Titanfall 2's version, and changed its damage and ammo to fit royale.
    In Titanfall 2, it fires exactly like this, but has no bullet drop, and one-taps enemy pilots (players) even with a foot shot. It could hold up to 21 ammo, but had no spare. You could instantly reload it by entering your Titan.
    It has a module called Charge Hack that would let it fire twice as fast, but deal reduced damage. I think it still one-shot pilots though. It's an anti titan weapon.
    I forget if it could get extended mag, and if it could how much it went to.

    But again, @yanshuang_ying66 , they reverted because they decided apex was not the place for hitscan.
    I say reverted because it's the same way it fires in Titanfall 2, apex's predecessor.

    We only need once simple change. MAKE the charge a CHARGE. You load the gun and then decide when to shoot just like any other sniper. The current design is trash.

    @RadeLiV The current design is Titanfall 2's design. It's wonderful. Nostalgic.
