Subject: Feedback on weapon balance — 30-30 Repeater & G7 Scout

Hello,
I’d like to provide some feedback regarding the weapon balance in Apex Legends. The 30-30 Repeater and G7 Scout currently deal very high damage, especially early in the match. Both rifles can inflict ~100+ damage with just two shots, which often results in a near-instant knockout even if the opponent has only a white shield. At the same time, they have relatively high fire-rate and good accuracy, particularly at close to mid range, making them overly powerful in the early game when most players don’t yet have upgraded shields or healing items.

This gives a large advantage to players who find or pick these weapons early and greatly reduces the opportunity for other players to survive or engage, which affects the overall balance and enjoyment of the game.

Could you please review the damage values or fire-rate of these weapons — especially in the early stage of each match — to ensure a more balanced experience?
Thank you for your time and for your continued work on the game!

Kind regards
