R-99 is broken

Fix R-99 (again), pretty please. It's dominating almost every single scenario

EDIT : so after much reflexion, reading comments here, watching gameplay etc and considering even I (a poor player admitedly) do much better with a R-99 than a shotgun even with my dogsh*t tracking ability here is my suggestion. Instead of bringing R-99 down and considering this game already has pretty damn low TTKs overall, how about making a portion of shotgun damage (15/20% ?) go directly on health through shields to better reflect their strong impact and stopping power and compensate for the very short range needed to be decent and their inherent inconsistency so it's better balanced against things like the R-99, hipfire havoc, spitfire and devo. etc

Always was, always will be 🙌
I don't think, that something will change about it though. Try EVA-8 with double tap, perhaps? Works to some degree.🤔

It's not the r99 is not broken it's all of the people using recoil cancelling software that should be banned

@Cataplasmic00 The Prowler is very similar, except it has a larger mag but requires the hop up to go full auto.

That may or may not be part of the problem. I'm watching streamers use it who are simply good though and literally shred shotgun users, and it's better from longer range too.
If the fire rate is going to be that high why is the recoil so easy to master and damage so high for an SMG, is my thinking.

@Cataplasmic00 I don’t really know the answer to that, but if they do nerf the r-99 again, they’d have to nerf other high damage weapons like the Prowler and Havoc to better fit.

@Sir_Named While unlikely they'll nerf the 99 at this point as much as i'd personally love to see it nerfed into the dumpster it is more likely it'll get buffed but then put into the carepackage loot pool so it'll be less of a problem

@Madsciencelich I don’t think it’ll be put in the care package. The other weapons were swapped with existing care package weapons, but there’s nothing to swap the R-99 with.

Or they could add a new weapon and then out the R-99 in the care package, but then it would kind of overlap with the Devotion.

100% this. Even most streamers are using macros/script for no recoil and its blatantly obvious.
R99 recoil kick really hard at distance, its damage its low, its just fast.
Also its one of the easiest weapon to counter with a good counter strafing.
I actually got zero problem with R99, and in close range a lot of weapons are killing him.

@LordloshBang You think streamers use anti-recoil scripts even while streaming ? That would be kind of ballsy honestly (I'm watching on Twitch mainly)

I`m not thinking i`m sure.
Shroud was using macro for Hemlock to shoot faster on single fire, and a lot of streamers are using macro for the recoil.
Watch their mouse macros when they are alt+taping. Some of them are hiding it with a banners.
The * part is they can turn it on/off when they want and if they want to mislead you, they just turn it off.
Most macro/scrip/cheats are on toggle on/off with 1 button click and if they wanna hide it, because they know you are watching them its easy to do.
I spot some of their highlighted 25+ kills on youtube they are using some sort of aimlock or soft aimbot as well.
Diego and Aceu has some obvious ones.
