Assault's Level 3 Charge is a DOWNGRADE?

Many assault players are beginning to agree that Level 3 charge easily be considered a downgrade from Charge level 2. Why?

Well, Charge level 2 can hit multiple targets, while charge level 3, when used against an enemy with a teammate or near a turret, ensure you will be killed before the grapple animation ends.

My suggestion? Allow Charge Level 3 to be both charge lv2 and 3 at the same time. Tap B to do a non-grapple charge, and hold it for a moment to do the grapple version. This way, its worth spending the 400$ on (which it currently is not in most cases), and lets the user use the grapple version when its advantageous, and the simple push version when its not.

Thanks for your time.

Yep it is, definitely makes you vulnerable during the grapple so you might as well use the level 2 and never upgrade. Spend your money on bomb and passive.

Would definitely be nice to see this get patched.

1 v 1 lvl3 is better. The only problem with your idea is if u want to rush grapple when the enemy is right next to u, u won't be able to press it long enough. If u made the time it takes to hold the button and activate the grapple charge shorter, u could accidentally do it :/

actually, it'd be better to hold down for a charge without grapple, and that as soon as you let go, it grapples the first person it hits.

This ^

having said that.. There are more urgent oases for uber to address..like most things ;D

Level 3 charge+grapple makes the assault nearly impossible to beat 1v1 in close quarters

I'd be a huge fan of having to hit the button a second time to activate the grapple, regardless of if there were enemies or not. It'd be useful as a brake this way too in case you miss a guy close to the edge!

so u want tank charge + a grapple that always ring outs? aight when does my tank get a nuke?

Maybe with a broken "A" button. They made it this way so you have to choose. Take out multiple targets or wreck in 1v1. The gunner deploy is the same way, tear them up or gain a visor, but sacrifice damage.

I believe the level 3 skill also recharges faster

@ Redrain -

Dont be a baby with this "you get that?! what do I get!?" crap.

I play all the classes, and this skill is the ONLY one where spending 400$ actually makes you worse. It is an issue. There are OTHER issues too, with every class, but this thread isnt about those, is it?

This really seems like a tactical choice. Grenade III is a great map to upgrade to full, while steelpeel probably isn't. At least assault can debate which is more useful. Do gunners even up their b skill to 2?
