@realy-bad-1~~What I am most upset about is the fact, for a moment, I thought the Flatline was better than the r301.~~

At the beginning of season 2, the Flatline is all I used, but one day all I could find was the r301 and instantly I saw why the r301 is the king of guns in Apex legends. I slaughtered my way through the map. Game after game I was unstoppable with the r301.
~~Even naked the r301 slaughters.~~

~~The r301 can handle any situation.~~
~~I can firmly say the r301 is the best gun in Apex Legends.~~

~~When I pick up an r301, I already know I will win.~~

The Flatline damage output is so insane. It can shred a purple/gold armored guy whit half of magazine.

If you can handle the recoil and aim for the head, it's simply insane.

It can definitly contest R99 at mid-close range.

It is okay as a close range weapon.

  It shouldn’t even need a barrel stabilizer. The rear loaded/firing style of this gun, with the longest barrel of all the weapons, means that it should be intrinsically more stable than the rest. That is exactly why weapon manufacturers have designed some guns this way.
  Respawn, don’t bother with a barrel stabilizer for the Flatline. Just reduce the kick/spread a little and problem solved.
  Its called the Flatline for crying out loud. It’s supposed to be a stable firing weapon system.

  @hhnbbfggty66 I have to say I agree. After the recent buff I have killed many hipfiring at close range with the Flatline but it now needs some love for mid range, it shouldnt be a close range weapon.
  
  Whether that is a barrel stabilizer or another hop up/attachment who knows. But I do think if it was as simple as a barrel stabilizer then it may be a too big of a change depending upon the difference it makes because of the barrel stabilizers availability.

@mxiter Everyone asking for a barrel stabilizer on a gun that does only one less damage then the prenerfed spitfire, has a faster firerate, and better hipfire than the spitfire ever did need to relax. The gun is accurate at midrange and especially easy with a 2x on. The recoil pattern is almost a carbon copy of the spitfire's with one less step. If you need to hit long range switch to single fire and pop people for 19-38 damage a shot or pair it with a longbow for a beastly high damage combo.
