To me it looks relatively simple:
the charge rifle hits for instances of 3 damage, ending in a hit of 45 resulting in 90 damage total
reducing the first damage instances to 1 damage, and keeping the final hit of 45 damage would reduce the total damage to 60 seems fair?
adding on top of that the removal of the 2 ammo per shot mechanic and enable it to take sniper magazines?
Though personally I think that sniper are in a very weak spot, due to the ease of evading shots by running around. So maybe the problem isn’t the charge rifle, its that all the other snipers are simply too bad to seriously compete in the apex weapon meta.
Perhaps the solution isn’t nerfing the charge rifle, but instead buffing the other snipers to the level of the charge rifle. Especially now with vantage being released, and with how bad her ultimate sniper weapon is, I am extremely worried that we might never see snipers become as viable as AR’s and SMG’s.
But enabling the charge rifle to take sniper magazines might be an efficient and effective way of improving game consistency while also enabling the charge rifle to be nerfed at lower levels.
Say level 3 sniper mags enable it to have 4 shots, effectively making the current state of the charge rifle the final stage of the charge rifle.
