Destroyed Charge Rifle
So major update in season 18 is destroyed Charge Rifle. Was fun to play with Charge Rifle, now not anymore. They done the same as with Triple Take, they killed the fun
Forum Discussion
The Charge Rifle was roundly criticized for requiring little to no skill before. Now that they added bullet drop and a firing delay to require more skill to use it well, people are complaining. Not that I'm defending Respawn, but there are some things that game developers cannot win at. For Apex, that is map & weapon design.
- @HappyHourSumwur There's no bullet drop in the current charge rifle. At least from the videos I've seen. If a person learns to pre charge it or track well its actually stronger than before.
- @hayhor It's become a risk reward weapon. I like that they finally added mags but hate that the cap is 8. I won't use it much this season. My fav sniper is still the Longbow.
A longbow has 12 bullets, of these 12 you'll definitely hit someone at least 3 times. Basically they made Charge Rifle a Sentinel just with different sound effect
Don't know if it's worse. First time I fired one yesterday I did 135 dmg to a guy far far away. If/when one bothers to learn how much you need to lead on a moving target and the bulletdrop, it could prove to be pretty strong.
