Am I the only one that thinks this weapon is broken? I mean just take a look at the photo, this guy killed me in 5 bullets with a fire rate of the previous beast of a gun, Spitfire. Don't say my stats are * because I don't play Valkyrie lol.

@ZkepzThe gun is meant to be used at range for suppression so a bullet nerf over 100 meters doesn't really make sense to me. They need to make it harder to control. That would help a lot, tho for me the issue is close range charged. You won't beat that gun with an r99 or prowler and that doesn't make sense to me.
Hands down r99/volt close range with proper strafing you are not gona win that fight with a charged rampage without some godly luck, its hipfilre is not good enough. If you're surprised however its something else.
Beat my record damage in ranked the day Rampage came out.
It + 3x scope was and still is my go-to gun every time I find it. If people allow me to play Fuse... oh man, I will be charged up every encounter and just overall can compete in annoyance only with 3 shot wingman gods and charge rifle, top 3 though is mine for sure.
For me the gun is great in all distances and as soon as I hear enemies using it I try to get behind cover and potentially gtfo as soon as possible because the biggest issue/benefit I see with it is how much bullets slow you down.
Combined with the damage:
Head 42 (1.5×)
Body 28
Legs 24 (0.85×)
and mag size...I genuinely believe this gun is better than Spitfire.
I can easily break or even knock people from 100m and I am being knocked instantly when people fire at me what feels like my feet are instantly cemented in place and I become a firing range dummy. 6-8 shots on 28-40 mag mean you have to hit around 25% accuracy to melt people which is not a big deal especially when charged up.
Close-range hip fire is the one that does not make any sense - too accurate. That should be the nerf in my opinion. Adding additional recoil I guess would make it somewhat balanced yet as big a threat as Spitfire was before.
Yet as people said you have to accept the game and play it - people used Spitfire a lot, the use Wingman a lot, now Rampage and Lstar...there are just guns that are better and noone complains about 301 and Flatline being on top of every discussion, so I don't see really why Rampage or any other gun should have a preferential treatment even if it is OP it is still there available on the ground, pick it up and use it 🙂
Just a PSA if some of you would like yo try the infinite charge sentinel/rampage bug.
Currently, for me it is impossible to abuse that even if I would like to, because I still can't figure out the new logics behind charging either.
Currently, I have the following scenarios:
- rampage stops charging if I move when charging animation has started, yet it can be done if you jump slide and then start a charging process
- rampage sometimes charges only as long as I hold the key bound to charge, sometimes I just need to tap it once and it goes all the way automatically
- same as above for sentinel
- sentinel starts to charge up every time I pick it up while holding needed cells, now I have to cancel charging every time I do so, yet very useful during a battle - easy and fast weapon switch and totally unexpected to enemies who think you are running away yet do 180 and blow their heads off seconds later :D
- no clue when animation for either ends, I just hold key bind every time for 1-3 seconds longer, also it feels that animation for rampage is faster overall and ends almost in synch with the progress bar while sentinel takes much longer and there are additional minor animations after the initial one for sentinel
In any case both rock when charged 🙂
* this has been another rant how well Apex game is being designed and updated, maybe some new bugs later today, I hear patch will be out :D
Ofcourse, try do proper strafing with an LMG hehe. SMG, Pistol or Shotty with proper strafing is insanely hard to hit. But their damage potential up close is devastating. When I meet a strafe god like for instance Shulkn I start wondering if I got lag hits because my hitmarker percentage drops hard, and with the Rampage those are particulary hard to land bullets on because of the slow RPM.
@soccerking122I think I can somehow talk about the S6 devo. The devotion just got out the carepackage with a very minimal nerf (they only reduced the magazine size) being ground loot. It wasn't really that OP but what happened in S6 mirrors what's happening now in S11.
At the release of S6, the Volt just came out. As we all know, Respawn tends to crank up the ground loot for some weapons they want us to use. They're putting energy ammo and weapons everywhere just like how everyone uses heavy ammo this season. A lot of people picked up the devo since energy weapons were plentiful and when there's a lot of devo in the game, it will annoy everyone hence the community asked for a nerf.
Same thing will happen with the rampage. A lot of people are picking it up now since the ground loot is mostly heavy ammo/weapons. I don't think the Rampage needs a huge nerf though. A small tweak to the damage will do.
Well the S6 devo with turbocharger could down a 3 man team even with less then stellar aim, im thinking the way the devo works its better as a carpackage drop then ground loot as it needs the turbocharger really and without its quite bleh atm, and im really missing the spitfire 🙂. The rampage I only feel queezy at long range as its negating the scout rifles, I never pick up scout, 3030 or triple take as I just get the rampage instead if I need mid long/range support..
