This Charge Rifle "nerf" is a joke
Bottom line is it's still insanely easy to use and over-powered. The "nerf" has not solved any of the issues with this weapon, players are still using it en masse, camping on buildings and just beam...

I'm posting here to give the devs feedback. The charge rifle needs to be rebalanced.
I don't feel as strongly as you do about the "ease of use", but i think that the combination of rate of fire, damage, magazine size, almost no falloff, and visual/audio hit effects makes it a godgun in comparison to every other weapon out there.
I agree that it should be a care package gold gun with limited ammo. Even in that category, it would still trump them all, but at least you wouldn't see multiple teams where all 3 members have a fully kitted one just terrorizing anyone who didn't clamber to the top of the few pieces of cover on Meltdown.
TLDR: Please rebalance the charge rifle. Apex needs it
