Flatline vs r-301?

So i've started to try and use flatline since the r-301 went to fabricator. But i've noticed that flatline is way harder to use (slower bullets and apray pattern), and heres my question, why use flatline if r-301 is way easier and just as good (in my opinion). its way easier to hit almost the entire mag with the r-301 than with the flatline. Can anyone explain the upsides of the flatline?

  • @anthhony32 The bigger difference for me is the 301 is the easiest gun in the game to use. It's the more popular choice for that reason. Most guns have their own unique recoil pattern. So I can give you a few tips to be more productive with the flatline. If you are on pc and mouse and key that is. The same logic could be applied also to controller players.

    1: The flatlines recoil is pretty easy to counter. All it requires is you to do very small circles. That will help keep the gun quite stable.

    2: Strafe shooting. For the most part most guns recoil can be countered by just moving left or right while firing. So if someone is running to the left you also will want to be moving with them while firing which will help a ton with controlling the recoil on those shots.
  • I think vk is more of a reliable option than r301

    slower rate of fire

    odd iron sight which i like

    odd bullpup reload which i dislike
