    Rampage LMG

    • Reduced cost per shot
    • Significantly increased energized capacity
    • Successfully charging up the Rampage with a Thermite will also trigger a reload

Season 16 Revelry February 2023

  • CHANGE

    Rampage LMG [Floor]

    The floor Rampage goes back to its normal version with less damage and no charge on pickup, but its energy drains more slowly when you stop firing.

    Reverted to non-Care Package version: Damage reduced to 26 (was 28 in Care Package)

    • Reverted to non-Care Package version
    • Damage reduced to 26 (was 28 in Care Package)
    • No longer auto-energizes when picking up
    • Energy decays slower when not firing

    TipIt comes cold now, so energize it before you push rather than expecting the pickup to do it. Decay is slower while you hold fire, so charging early and repositioning still leaves it hot for the fight.

Season 15 Eclipse November 2022

  • CHANGEBalance Updates

    Rampage LMG

    The Rampage no longer loses its charge over time, and it starts charged the first time you pick it up from the supply drop.

    Removed heat decay over time

    • Begins charged on first-time pickup from the supply drop
    • Removed heat decay over time

    TipThe charge comes on the first pickup only, so dropping it and picking it up again later will not hand you a fresh one. Whatever charge you hold keeps, so a long rotation costs you none of it.

  • NERFBalance Updates

    Rampage

    • Rampage & R-301 going into crafter
    • Reload time 2.6 → 3.1
    • Slightly increased handling times

Season 12 Defiance February 2022

  • NERF

    Rampage LMG (Hotfix)

    The Rampage does less damage per bullet and fires fewer shots while revved.

    • Rampage damage 28 → 26
    • Reduced number of shots during the Revved state from ~40 to ~34

    TipBoth halves of a revved push shrank, the damage per shot and the number of shots the rev gives you, so the window is worth less than it looks. Spend it on one committed fight, not chip damage across cover.
