Apex’s Charge Rifle rework rewards long distance skill with greater damage in season 18

One of Apex Legends’ most divisive weapons is going under the knife for season 18. The Charge Rifle will come out feeling particularly different next season, with a set of tweaks that will make it harder to use effectively—though it could be even more satisfying to use properly.

The Charge Rifle “was an outlier with its mechanics” and caused some ripples in the meta that were “particularly difficult to tune around,” lead weapons designer Eric Canavese said in a press conference. Because of this, the weapon will go through substantial mechanic changes next season, instead of undergoing a round of direct nerfs like in season 17.
