Apex Legends Charge Rifle stats

Instead of going the high headshot damage route that other Apex Legends sniper rifles take, the Charge Rifle’s appeal is that is produces a hitscan beam which deals incremental damage over a half-second period, before dealing a massive blast of damage at the end of the charge. If you deliver maximum damage with the charge-up, you’ll effectively double your potential damage with this weapon. The Charge Rifle has it all. It’s extremely ammo-efficient, and powerful without any attachments. An important note about its hipfire: while the charge-up sends your aim all over the place, the final blast is always 100% accurate, meaning you can beam players from 100 meters while hipfiring. This sniper rifle is very annoying to go up against. The below sections go through just about every statistic that might be useful to know about the Charge Rifle in Apex Legends. The first gives basic stats, the second focuses on damage, and the third section displays various handling stats for the Charge Rifle.
