The new best long range weapon, the Charge Rifle is getting nerfed, details are in the article.
Apex Legends Season 3: Meltdown had loads of changes, including a brand new map, playable character, battle pass, and weapon. The new weapon has proven to be a dominant force in the game, so Respawn is planning a nerf update for the weapon.
Respawn community manager Jay Frechette said Apex Devstream , a video series that aims to explore the behind-the-scenes of Apex Legends."We want to be careful about changing our thinking," he said in the first episode of . said. "So we're being careful with the Charge Rifle, this update won't be a damage nerf. We're going to increase the amount of ammo used per shot, changing the magazine size for that." said. As for how soon players can see these changes, lead designer Brent McLeod said they will hopefully be implemented "next week".
Respawn regularly implements Apex Legends updates on Tuesdays. Therefore, we can expect the changes to be released on October 15th . Currently, the Charge Rifle is the most powerful sniper rifle in the game. That's why it's one of the best options you can use as a weapon on a large map like World's Edge , which encourages long-range encounters . The weapon initially fires a small laser that deals moderate damage before applying a much more powerful beam that deals significant damage. If you're playing as the new character Crypto , it's probably one of the best weapons to use, as its bullet drop and fairly fast rate of fire allow you to quickly hit opponents you're spying on with your drone.
