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.

@Irres169 I have deleted the game but I have to say I hardly noticed a change to the hemlock the little I played this season. I still found it easier to quickly drop players at mid ranges than 301.

It's noticeable in the hip fire. Not so much in ADS.

@Acumental heh hemlok for the most part has been having recoil changes for past few seasons. The recoil should be a much greater rise. Barely even pulling down on mouse gives it 100% perfect recoil control. Being a heavy weapon Id def expect more of a kick.

One does not simply "take cover to heal" when being pursued in close range. And no, the R-99 does not take "a few seconds" to kill. It takes roughly one second, maybe even less, to empty the entire clip with a level 3 magazine, killing targets before they even have a chance to react. Furthermore, the recoil is far too precise for an SMG. Fire an SMG with that fire-rate should make the gun kite to each corner of the screen, but instead, it's a gazer beam.

It's a laser beam with too little recoil using a controller. On PC with a mouse, it's got a substantial amount of recoil.
Look at this Tweet clip from the official Apex channel no less:

21 seconds in, just lazers the poor Bloodhound. He's got a blue barrel & a purple mag, and there's no rise with the barrel whatsoever, no horizontal wavering. Now go to the Firing Range on PC and try an R99 with a blue barrel and a purple mag. 😉
