The Spitfire needs a nerf
It's pretty embarrassing the fact that every low skill player rocks it... It's so stupid the fact that has 55 rounds. Its too broken. You can one clip a full squad and have a few bullets left. I thin...

This gun has been broken since day 1, but now it seems like every single player runs it. An extremely helpful nerf would be to reduce the mag size of each mag for the spitfire by 5-10 and reduce the damage from 20 down to like 16-17. This gun just hits way too hard and it is entirely too overused in high rankings I just hit diamond and all I run into are people with the spitfire spraying and crouch spamming at me until i'm dead because you can't get away from the guns mag capacity.
it is a lot about positioning.
spitfire hits like a truck, but you are basically unable to move while shooting,
making you an easy taget to hit. spitfire really has lots of downsides tbh.
positioning doesn't really matter when the spitfire does so much damage
The spitfire is absolutely more broken than the R301 in fact I would say that the R301 is the only "balanced" weapon in the game currently. I am not the only who feels this way either there have been pro players saying the same thing.
They gave us a broken gun what do you even mean? This gun has been broken for ages and actual pro players have said the exact same thing
A mag nerf would be huge but it would be really nice to get a small damage nerf as well

- @Triumphkutter Ever tried hipfire strafing with it bud? Infinite ammo + strafe spam 20 damage a piece
controller players dont really need to move because they wont do it anyways.. they just beam the * out of peoples so they out dps mouse players with it

This. Spitfire is very strong at punishing players out of position but its very slow ADS movement speed leaves the user extremely vulnerable to return fire.
IMO it's not OP as it has a serious drawback and its DPS isn't even that high (lower than the VOLT's). Maybe it's a bit OP in close range since you can hipfire to mitigate its slow ADS weakness, but I've no idea how to nerf hipfire without making it too RNG-based (maybe slow down spitfire's walking speed a bit further?)
- @kurozawa6 Shouldn't really do much it's literally because of the damage if slowing anything it should be the fire rate.
There is no drawback. The spread is so small within 50m all you have to do is have the body in the ret (never ADS with a spitfire [with m/k. Idk how forgiving aim-assist is on the sticks] or you're griefing yourself) and you're hitting 80% of shots.
