@Acumental What level is your son at? I seem to remember you making a thread recently about this issue. And your son has only started this season, so he’s probably still fighting the really bad players.

Also, your son is probably exaggerating a little, as there are definitely other guns on par with the R-99, such as the Volt. The Wingman can be another, if you can hit your shots.

Advice: Your son should probably start to switch off the double R-99, especially on the Olympus map, as it isn’t going to work as well once he gets to the level where people can aim and use snipers.

@Sir_Namedmy son is around lvl 100 not exactly sure as I am divorced and he only with me 7 days but plays at his moms as well.

I am not sure if you are a controller player or not but I watch him play and he doesn't need anything other than double r9. He is used to fortnite where aim assist is nothing like it is in apex and he is a good player (kind of born with a controller in his hand. I let him play from very young). In Apex he beaming people at same distances as me with 301. This is partly because he is good with controller but also like I said he used to weak aim assist so in powerful aim assist like this game he finds it easy.

@Acumental I might be wrong, but I think something is off if your son started at season 7 and is already at level 100. He must be playing like 24/7 or something.

R-301 distance is not that far, if I understand correctly, and anyone with good recoil control can do it. The problem arises when there are enemies really far away. They’ll snipe you, and it should be nearly impossible to reliably hit them with the R-99. You can try to close the distance, but that’s fairly risky.

If anyone is losing to the r99 with the 301 they are too close.

  @Irres169 If anyone is losing to an r99, it's because that person doesn't know when to take cover to heal. People act like the r99 is god tier, when in reality it's really not. It doesn't instantly kill players, in a few seconds - yeah. However, other guns also take a few second to kill. Should we also delete every other gun because they're firing like they're suppose to?

    I mean I have 1 clipped with the r-99 frequently but you have to be in actual shotgun range to do it, (not Mastiff range which is like always as far as you are standing from it :P)
    The 301 is a mid ranged gun, and easily out classes most other mid range guns. I dare say it might be my favorite AR since the Hemlock changes.
