The Charge Rifle is a directed-energy battery-fed sniper rifle that utilizes Sniper Ammo.

Each shot from the Charge Rifle has two parts: a sustained laser, which deals 15 ticks of damage at 3 damage each, and a final discharge which deals 45 damage. The Charge Rifle is a hitscan weapon, meaning that its shots hit the target instantly and are not affected by gravity. Instead, the beam suffers from damage dropoff; starting at 150 meters, damage will decrease to as low as 50% at 400 meters.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Infinite range.
Hitscan, so no compensation for bullet drop is required.
No damage reduction when firing at lower parts of the body
Due to the laser's continuous nature, it can be used to suppress enemies unlike other snipers.

Cons

Uses 2 ammo per shot (5 shots per mag).
Long reload time, especially with an empty mag.
Unlike other sniper rifles, shots do not penetrate enemies and have damage falloff over distance.
Beam can give away position.
If hip firing, while charging, the beam sways violently, but the final blast will always be 100% accurate.

Lore

The Charge Rifles used in the Apex Games are manufactured by Vinson Dynamics. Notable changes from its Frontier War-era model include a smaller profile, more compact build, and a completely reworked firing system, shooting out a beam that rapidly increases in damage instead of charging for a single massive blast.
