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.

@Biochemikas the moment they notice that you are using Longbow they will pre-fire and cover during reload, so I wont win those fights. Also they could simply strafe left/right/duck or preload duck and fire while I wont see anything - so me hitting them will be pointless. Best option imo is simply Wingman, since you´ll be able to manuver them + faster shoting rate helps, duck fire duck (so they will get overwhelmed - but still depends on distance if that will work).
Prefiring 0.5 seconds is infinitely harder than prefiring a longbow (milliseconds, depending on distance). Also, in this case longbow just outright does more damage (55 body vs 45 body, not even shooting head, where longbow just dominates).
If you can't see how hopeless this duel is for the CR, then you really have some grand delusions about CR's greatness.
If you try to fight peek wars CR vs longbow, then you're in for a world of pain (unless you 100% know the longbow person is a potato).
@Biochemikas Not really, I´ve done the same to people when I used CR - there´s no chance I was getting hit by a Longbow doing that. Since I have the upper hand, and for them to actually hit me - they would need to predict my movement while all I had to do was preload while I was peeking while strafing / ducking (meaning they could not even peek at me, its an losing battle for them and only drains their resources). Your best bet is Wingman, with the fire rate you can actually turn the table (but only for an amount of distance, long range is a nogo).
Well the charged rifle nerf finally arrived and they nicely didn't go overboard this time. As predicted - long range damage nerf. The damage drops off linearly from 45 (max) at 300m to 30 (min) at 500m.
P.S. I couldn't test trickle damage because for whatever reason the long range targets in practice don't register it.
- @Biochemikas phew 🙂
