Apex Legends Charge Rifle stats [Season 10]

View our up-to-date Charge Rifle stats ready for Season 10

The Charge Rifle has resided near the top of the Apex Legends snipers arsenal for multiple seasons now, and it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon. This powerful beam-focused long-range sniper is still one of the most worrisome poking devices in the game. We'll go over every aspect of this unique Apex Legends gun in our Apex Legends Charge Rifle stats page.

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.
