Apex Legends: Shroud explains why Charge Rifle doesn\u2019t need a nerf Respawn \/ ShroudTwitch star Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has weighed-in with his thoughts on the upcoming nerf to the Charge Rifle in Apex Legends, explaining that he thinks the weapon is already well-balanced. From a brand new fast-paced map, to a new Legend with a host of different abilities, Season 3 has brought a plethora of changes to Respawn Entertainment\u2019s battle royale. Although players are loving the new map, legend and cosmetics, the new energy\u2013based sniper rifle weapon has become a controversial topic in Season 3. Given the changes that have come as a by-product of the Charge Rifle\u2019s addition, the Apex Legends community took to the Apex Legends subreddit to protest the devastating effects of the sniper in-game. Subsequently, Respawn acknowledged the issue and are making changes accordingly. Given the pressing nature of the issue, shroud has given his two cents on the new energy weapon. The former CS:GO pro argued: \u201cIt\u2019s insanely good if they\u2019re out in the open, but if there\u2019s any cover at all, it\u2019s really not that good\u2026 A Longbow will beat it, ya know?\u201d In terms of the weapon\u2019s use in-game, Grzesiek supported the current meta, stating: \u201cThe only way to really do a lot of damage is to trace somebody for the full amount of time, but if they\u2019re just poking and they\u2019re peeking their head and sh*t, it\u2019s really not that good\u2026 I kind of like the balance of it.\u201d Shroud went on to explain that the weapon\u2019s effectiveness is entirely situational: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s actually that broken. It feels broken when people are clueless (and in the open). Any tiny bit of cover, and it\u2019s a useless weapon. Indeed, the issue has been recognized by the developers through their Trello board, with changes set to arrive in a future patch. Given Respawn\u2019s community engagement thus far, they will likely be implementing feedback from popular personalities and the subreddit alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
