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

@KohlerVX 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.

I actually see it overused on console, it melts Purple+ shields like butter, it is insanely overpowered in close range and even mid range like it has zero damage drop off at range.

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...

@Zombtroll69 Its not perfectly balanced lol if it was then why is EVERYONE using it? The recoil is super easy to counter and almost anyone can do it. That's why they're nerfing it tomorrow in the season 3 patch. It needs it. It's not only a close range gun, it shreds mid range as well. And no lol the r301 and spit don't even come close unless you don't kill someone with 1 clip. Which is almost impossible unless you're trash

@251f7fe71fbb9e08 And the flatline is not easier to control than the 99 😆 lmao not even close. Flatline shreds but is insanely inaccurate

@Zombtroll69 And it's INSANELY accurate if you know how to counter the recoil which is easy. I beam people at mid to long range with it consistently lol the spit and 301 have never beat me with the 99. And that's why everyone uses it. You get the speed of an smg but the range of an AR. Plus no drop off

@F1YBYN1GHT Guns always get nerfed in the beginning of a game releasing lol ALWAYS. You probably think the PK is perfect right now right? 110 damage body shot? Lmao

The thing i dont like about tbis game is you get used to certain guns you like and then people complain about them (but nobody stops them using the same gun) and then thr gun becomes useless and its kind of like stsrting again trying to find your fav guns again.
I honestly wish they would stop messing with all the guns, if they are over powered, everyone has the same chance to use it, so if you die, its your own fault.

@johnmiceter Some players complain about things they think are unbalanced not just the last gun to kill them. Being able to use the same gun doesn't change the fact that it's overpowered and needs to be brought in line. Preferably a small nerf that keeps the weapon strong in its niche or buffing the other guns to be competitive but "using the same gun" doesn't solve the problem.
