Literally everyone uses that gun and it's suuuuuch a noob gun. It's so OP that I literally can't even pick up a different close range weapon anymore cuz whoever I fight will kill me first with the r99. All you gotta do is get close and hipfire spray and you'll kill anyone, no matter the armor. NERF IT, it takes zero skill to use. please
he is right its aim botting that makes it soooo powerful, its draw back is supposed to be aim so if your aim botting well there's the real problem....
You don't see this over used on console as it can be quite difficult to control the recoil. There is no need to nerf this gun as you need to put a lot of rounds on target to be effective. Like others have said, your seeing aim-botters if your on PC. On XBox I see just as many R-301s, Spitfires, and Devotions.
This is one of my go-to guns, but it is not at all an "easy mode" gun. The Spitfire and Flatline are much easier to control on XBOX.
Quit saying nerf something just because you get killed by it. The peacekeeper for example was a great choice before they started screwing with its hip fire accuracy. People like you are probably the reason the wingman got nerfed too. The devs don’t need to nerf these weapons they need to bring other weapons in to balance so that we can actually have variety.
The R99 is good because it's the highest tier of SMG's in a fast paced game. The R99 is a perfectly balanced weapon. High recoil, inaccurate but very good close range damage. The only nerf it should get is maybe reduce it's spawn rate. If you are good and have a high tier weapon like the Peacekeeper, Longbow, R301 or Spitfire you can easily beat someone with an R99 if you use the weapons correctly and don't fight medium range (AKA SMG range vs the best SMG)
Everyone on the opposing position on this topic uses the R-99 as their go to noob cannon and are disagreeing only because they don't want their Broken gun to get the nerf it desperately deserves...

We are currently discussing the R-99 in this week's Weapon Spotlight. Please leave your thoughts about that weapon there! This really helps us understand the community's thoughts on weapon balance.
@F1YBYN1GHT [Removed - CM] lmao it's the only gun with THAT high of a DPS. Even alternator disruptor rounds don't compare lol they tried that and it didn't work. It's an smg that can be used from close to almost long range. I'm good with any gun but if I don't have a 99 and someone else does close range I'm practically dead. It's not a hard gun to use
