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.

I land in Overlook and find a charge rifle in the first loot bin I open. Moments later, I see a Pathfinder landing at about 50m away and scrape 52 damage points off of him right as he grabs a white armor. He runs behind a crate, but then immediately pushes me, as he's got no meds / batteries. I hit him again, another 30-40 damage. He's hurt, but closing in fast. Dodges my third shot, then grapples right near me. I beam him once more with another 20-30 damage. He's still on his feet and starts punching me. I try to reload, but before the animation finishes I get punched again and have to restart the process. I try to punch him but miss and then, as I try to run away to gain some time to reload, Path grapples me and downs me with another punch.
Charge Rifle can be beaten with bare hands, if you are skilled.
@DoYaSeeMeThis made me laugh hard, sorry but I dont think the main thing to take out of this story was the Pathfinder, but rather how are you able to miss shots with CR, even close range ADS or hip is easy as hell to land - compare that to Longbow mate.
Well I did it! Finally gotten the 10 downs with this weapon (I really dislike sniping and for some reason the actual hit always misses but the beam constantly connects...)! I’m better with this thing in close quarters than with actually sniping it seems xD
- @NitromethaneAP I hit 3 out of 4. Path knew he had no chance to run away in the open field and used his abilities and the available features in the area excellently. With a bare Longbow, I would've killed him for sure, so what I'm trying to say is that Charge Rifle is not as OP as people think and, therefore, the upcoming nerf should be small.
@DoYaSeeMeare you playing on PC? I have downed people in close ranged with CR while they used PeaceKeeper, so imo it is as OP as people say (if people have a good aim) - and I dont have a god like aim, I´m a casual player. Long range its broken beyond anything, you know when you can down 3 squads with purple armor from half across the map with 0 risk. Imo nerf CR to the ground, bring back hopup on Longbow.
Or if you dont belive me, try listening to the best players in the world and what they think. Most of them refuse to even pick it up due to how broken it is (granted that people have a decent aim).
There's really no question that CR is atrociously bad in CQC. CQC is all about higher dps. CR has one of the lowest of all weapons.
I've killed ppl with bare p2020 or mozambique vs R99 or PK countless times too. That still doesn't mean I would ever choose those weapons XD. Same goes for CR. It's a weapon for 200+ meters. You really need to be desperate to use it in CQC.
