NERF THE R99

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

    R99 only needs falloff damage,every smg should have it since its a close combat quarters weapon and probably add more recoil,every average player controls it easy,even on PS4 which is harder than PC.

  • R99 is one of those guns that is OP but no one thinks it is because it scales with skill level.  When everyone uses the gun high to low tier with excellent results it *is* an op gun, even if it takes some practice and aim to use it well.  I have never seen any good player pass up an r99 unless they wanted to use another gun for a challenge or for fun.  Weapons like this are OP because they lower the diversity of available guns.

    It is especially too powerful at range for a SMG.  And i think it reloads a little too fast.

  • @KohlerVX Full auto prowler and turbo charged havoc beat the 99 every time if you hit your shots. Both do more base and headshot damage.

    Funny! I do not like the R99...

    It's too fast empty  and especially without scope (CCQ at gamestart) it sucks.

    Upgrade to R301 or G7 as soon as possible...

    So is this gun ever going to get nerfed? Its by far the most used gun next to the wingman. Being able to one mag people for that much damage is ridiculous

    No doubt... even with how broke footsteps are you don’t hear them till there’s an r-99 right in your ear hole then u go down in less than a quarter turn while trying to defend yourself with a mistaken confidence in your full gold armor, helmet and health.

    R99 should start losing damage after 10-15 meters,damage falloff,it's supposed to be good at close CCQ

    @PixelEnemy338CAL Yep, just look at the clip I posted a few posts up. Gold barrel r301 getting out shot by an r99. It shouldnt be easier to lazer someone across the map with a sub machine gun than an assault rifle
