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 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.
It is a "Learn To Play" issue.
While powerful, it has a pretty high skill cealing.
Before large damage is done, player at whom your aiming already knows that they are being aimed by a charge rifle and beginning damage is low, and anyone with a half of brain will start to run. Firing from that rifle, requires ability to predict the direction where enemy might run and move your scope with them.
If there is a structure or a rock to hide, the shot can be actually wasted.
Small mag, fairly high reload time. Useless in close quarter combat.
Even though you can get occasional large shot, i can do more damage with a Triple Take, if we are comparing energy rifles here.
G7 scout with a double shot hop up is a much more dangerous opponent, considering its reload time and firing rate.
Not to mention that Charge rifle gives away your position really quick and you need to hide after the first shot, usually the person firing it is alone or a bit behind from the team. Get close and personal with an SMG or Wingman, will kill that sniper! 🙂 Bloodhound Octane is perfect.
- @TrancyGoose Heard that !! The Triple take is a good weapon, decent sniper with attachments and fairly handy shotgun if your hip fire aim is good.
I think the beam from the charge rifle is more off putting than a game changer.

Look at the numbers, they keep losing ppl, dead game.
All this game is about now, atleast what Internet says, all u gotta do is get 2x charge rifle and camp vaults, ez game.
Yup sooo soo dead. Look how inactive the forums are, no one streams the games or makes videos about it! Just an extinct game...
- @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.
It does not remove legendary armor in one hit, no way it is, and if it removes 3/4 or 1/2 assuming your target is an idiot who stands perfectly still once they hear the loud sound of the rifle.
Game sucks because of crybabies like you, that cry every-time something new comes along. Stop whining!
And let's be fair, there is not a lot of them lying around on the map ...

It most certainly does remove legendary armor in 1 hit. I’ve done it and had it done to me. The last 3 final circles ive been in everyone has had one. The gun should not be a regular drop. If anything take the Lstar out of the supply drop and put the charge rifle in it. It’s making the game no fun imo.
- @xx_Dante2k_xx because energy weapons have less bullet drop.
It is strong and it is getting hit with the nerf bat soon. Its up on the trello board posted by the devs that it will be getting looked at.
Im all for new weapons and I dont mind the hitscan, or the lack of bullet drop since it is technically a laser. But when you can sit at the opposite side of a map and pin a team down because of the damage it does alone. Theres an issue. And it's a sniper so i get it, but its not just a sniper gun. You can use that thing close range/mid range/long range and destroy people. And it basically makes the other sniper riffles obsolete since its so strong at all ranges with good damage.
I'll be so happy when it gets adjusted because its ridiculous how powerful this weapon is and the fact that it spawns anywhere means there's several squads running with it at all times.
If they dont want to nerf or adjust the weapon itself then they need to make it spawn only with care packages.
