CHARGE RIFLE
The new CHARGE RIFLE weapon is too strong, should be from the drop like Mastiff or kraber, everyone is running with this rifle now.

It's so strong that it pretty much obsoletes snipers. It's hitscan, no bullet travel time or bullet drop, and like no damage drop off. It's just insane and you can demolishing people with it at any distance with minimal effort.
Also people say that the charging of it makes it balanced, but you do damage and harass people with the charge even if you miss the main shot, and it also makes it hard for your enemies to aim and fire back at you.
Is just way too strong for just A weapon, and surprising it made it into the game as it is.

At least I could say "oke gg dude" if I got 2 or 3 tapped by the Longbow back in S2 since it at least took a combination of good skill with some luck on top to down me like that.
Charge Rifle just makes it way too easy.
Rumors are that a nerf IS coming, something along overall dmg with perhaps a range limit. It IS a little overpowered. I do agree that it does work well in the open sprawl that is World's Edge. Another thing is that once you use it, EVERYBODY in the entire zone knows where you are - it is SOO loud.
Yes, nerf is coming, it is covered in the beginning of this video:
@VelirFirithnorm It was inevitable. For it being a laser the damage could be justified. I just feel that it should be a little more time between shots. Or have it be a continuous beam that eats the battery with reduced damage.
I really enjoy the Charge Rifle and I hope the nerf doesn't kill its fun factor. It has impressive suppression power, but otherwise it's less deadly than a decently kitted Longbow or a G7 with double tap. Very few use Havoc with single beam, same thing will happen with Charge Rifle if nerfed the wrong way.
- @DoYaSeeMe In all honesty its fun having the charge rifle the laughs i get from popping someone gear then they start jumping like an headless chicken panicking for cover it’s hilarious. But being on the receiving end of a charge rifle isnt fun one bit.
