charge rifle, nuffed or buffed?

whats your opinion? I feel this weapon is more powerful, but not practical.So for me is not a good BR mode long range weapon. Its hard to track moving target long range because you need focus on the target position and charge rifle energy bar. This weapon becomes useless over time and its basically becomes Havoc rifle that nobody wants ever to pick it up in game. People who landed in game fresh, they see charge rifle and havoc and pass while getting chased by others.

Definitely right with nerfed. Used to deal damage during charge, now you need to wait for full charge to deal damage

Nerfed. No longer popular. Not fun at all. Beginners lost an enjoyable option, and even many charge-rifle streamers have stopped using them this season.

Completely useless and pointless now. Why take it instead of the other sniper rifles? With the other rifles you only have to factor in the movement of the enemy and can fire instantly, but with the charge rifle you have to factor in the movement of the enemy + the time it takes to charge before firing so it's just a additional handicap with no benefits.

Buffed but only when you have more then half a brain and know how to predict your shots.
For the average player its probably a big nerf, try to use a 3x scope and use it as a marksman rifle.

Nerfed. Its not even the same gun anymore. They removed the main point of it, and the charge time completely ruins the idea if it being easy to aim due to no bullet drop. It was broken before and is now just decent

It's in a weird place now..
It's an apples to oranges comparison.


IMO the old charge rifle was way better.

Think the new one needs a Minor buff.
Give it the old version of select fire the havoc had as an alternative fire mode.

Quicker charge up time in this mode but for mid to close range. Having the damage drop off at 50m
