R99 needs to go back in the drops or nerfed or Alternator buffed to match it in dps.The only counter to it atm is the Mastif or maybe Volt.Its just too good and a must use weapon atm due to dps, rof, strafe speed, ammo availability, reload speed and range with barrel mod.Respawn ffs change things up, we are bored of the 99 meta. Waiting for change until I return.

@BrainDeadWraiths This will get some hate, but what IF the alternator got disruptors as a care package weapon like in season 2

@FaIIenAngeI777 That sounds even better, that just removing R99.

@BrainDeadWraithsI see the mastiff way more than the R-99 but I don’t check kill feeds much just death recaps during gunfights i usually hear R-99, volt, spitfire, mastiff, and hemloks the most

@LordloshBang Rubbish, why is it used in 90% of fights and used by pros and streamers.The gun is overused and broken.Obviously your a R99 user and you don't want it removed. Good players will adapt and use something else.

@LordloshBangPretty sure you took offence on your own accord by admitting to being an R99 user and implying you won't be able to transition to a different weapon if R99 was removed.About that 1v1 - add me on game, I'll show you what top 15, 1% on 3daimtrainer looks like with R99 since you seem to think that you are a big boy? Maybe let's even make a wager on it and stream it. What do you say, big boy?P.S Hemlock is only a better weapon in longer range, every 1v1 encounter is going to end up with R99 user winning simply because of higher rate of fire / DPS. Your Wingman comparison to R99 is completely ridiculous and makes me seriously question if you understand the concept of rate of fire or have much experience with the game, no hate. One can abuse R99 by avoiding longer range fights. Pick wraith and use Q to move out of every fight to a close range fight. Oh wait, that's what most of the players are abusing already 😉Btw, what your forum's "PRO" status has to do with anything? Isn't it based on registration time / number of posts. How does having lots of posts / old registration date make you more knowledgeable on balancing of FPS game? I'd understand, had you said "I'm competitively playing FPS since UT/Q3 era".The only things that truly need balance are R99 - either lower dmg or rate of fire, lower mastiff's dmg / less pellets, make wraith thicker for a bigger hitbox.

@MrPlugy I much preferred the game with it in the drop, more variety of weapons were being used. In season 8 the 99 fills the kill feed constantly and when all you hear and see is the same weapon the meta needs a shift. I'm bored of it , haven't played in the last couple weeks as its same * different day.
Watched a couple of my favourite streamers lately and all they used was the 99 so gave up watching them as well.

@FaIIenAngeI777 Certainly different from what I see. Maybe watch the kill feed and you will see. Or even watch a YouTube video and I guarantee the content creator is using a 99. Boring as hell.

Nothing wrong with the R99.
The weapon have many * and its inconsistent. If you die by it, its your fault. I mean either the player is better than you, or you have bad dodging patterns/overall movement.
Just like i said in the other thread - Volt is just superior.
R301 is superior in many situation as well.

So you call me a bad player? We can always do 1vs1 on FR and see who is a bad player. :D
And of course i will let you pick R99 and i will be using Flatline or Volt, you okay with it? We will stream it, and see how broken R99 really is. :D
As far as R99 solely, here you go, from a pro player:

You see ? Same thing i told you, inconsistent.
There is just better options than R99. If you get shred by it, just get better at strafing/dodging buddy.

@LordloshBangAre you a 12 year old child ? Seems things never change. Calling for 1v1 and *. You don't need to test your so called logics about a gun being overused . Just watch the kill feed and data on weapon usage. Yea everyone uses it because its trash. I give up on this trash.

Yeah would be nice to be at 12 again. :D
Anyway you contradict to yourself. You say that its being 90% used by pros and streamers. Then you said if you want to be good you will adapt and use something else. So streamers/pros are no good right ?
I just don`t get it, which one of the two is true?
As far as the 1vs1 goes, it was because you pretty much call me a bad player with your post. ;D Thats the reason i gave you the challenge to come and beat me with the so call broken weapon, that i will not use.
I give you a opinion from a very much one of the top players in the game, that are here from the beginning.
And i don`t need a chart to see the result. There is way more weapons used and more powerful than R99 atm. Hemlock is the fashion right now.
