The Charge Rifle is a directed-energy battery-fed sniper rifle introduced in 
Season 3 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.

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.
