Weapons that could be buffed due to under performing

Weapon Balance has been fine lately except for the Peacekeeper which is still the most broken weapon in the game.

But there are a few weapons that could be balanced further

R-301 - Ever since you guys added the random recoil to this weapon. It honestly became terrible. I struggle to one clip people with it regardless of range (Close/Medium/Long). Not only that, the damage is so low and is the weakest assault rifle in the game. Currently does 14 damage to the body and 11 to the legs and 28 to the head with no helmet.

Suggested buffs:

30 Headshot damage from 28
15 body shot damage from 14
12 leg shot damage from 11
Slight adjustments to recoil patterns

Spitfire - Hardly see anyone running this weapon throughout the entire match. The only change I would recommend is a slight increase in the damage because this weapon has a slow fire rate.

Suggested buffs:

38 headshot damage from 36
19 body shot damage from 18
15 leg shot damage from 14

Mozambique - The major problem with this weapon is that it takes 2 magazines to down just one person. It's the hard to swallow truth. This means you are doing less damage because you need to reload more often than you shoot. The fix is simple, add a 4th shot.

Suggested buffs:

Ammo capacity increased to 4 from 3.

Flatline - Flatline is perfectly balanced but all it needs is a Red Dot Iron Sight just like the Prowler and L-STAR received

Suggested buffs:

Red dot has been added to the iron sights

G7 Scout - No changes needed for this weapon at the moment. Most will still say that it is quite strong but lately it hasn't been annoying but I could be wrong. Only changes it needs is the red dot iron sight

Suggested buffs:

Red dot has been added to the iron sights

Triple Take - Triple Take could use some more love as a sniper. It think the damage is so low, is inconsistent, precision choke actually does less damage than without it, takes too long to charge shots, leg damage reduction makes this weapon even more worse.

Suggested buffs:

150 headshot damage from 138
25/50/75 body shot damage from 23/46/69
Decreased Precision Choke charge-up time from 1.1 -> 0.8.
Decreased spread on final Precision Choke level
Lowered leg shot damage reduction: 10% -> 0%

@Leo_the_Lion25 I am not sure about g7 and flatline getting red dot. It isn’t really necessary, but I get what you mean. I think the prowler and l-star got the red dot mainly because they have a lot of recoil, and are a bit hard to aim with. (With iron sight.) Other than that, literally just get any scope and you’ll do fine.
I think the main thing triple take could maybe use is choke time decrease, as I think it’s supposed to do 25/50/75, and 150 for headshot, (with all 3), but you might have gotten some damage reduction modifiers in there on accident or something.
Mozambique, not sure why it’s hard to swallow, but it is kind of supposed to be a lower tier gun. The only way it is supposed to be somewhat viable is if you have the hop up, which turns it into very high risk/very high reward weapon. Not completely against Mozam buffs, but just saying it isn’t supposed to be that great.
Spitfire is fine, I think it mainly is just phased out in higher tier play or something because it doesn’t quite hit the level of mid-top tier dps. It’s a good weapon, and I don’t think it really needs a buff. It could use a buff, but it does have a ton of ammo. Also, not a big factor, but full spitfire mag has highest damage in-game, just a few above entire devotion mag. (Maybe not L-Star, as it doesn’t need to reload, but it does need to “cooldown” so it’s up to you if you want to include it)
R-301 could be better I guess, but again, it would be a pretty minor buff. It’s still a pretty viable weapon.

R-301 needs a buff. Even TSM Hal said that the R-301 is the weakest of the Assault Rifle weapons. The Havoc and Flatline are the King of Assault Rifles. Havoc has a disadvantage of charging too long before it can fire. Flatline as some insane recoil patterns that is hard to control but hits hard when they do land. Hemlok is Burst and Single Fire that is very versatile but still a good weapon depending on the player play style. G7 Scout is an Assault Rifle now but is still way better than a R-301 if you hit your shots.
R-301 should be slightly buffed. It used to be fine in Season 1 until it got the random recoil nerf patterns added to it on August 13, 2019 Patch.

@Leo_the_Lion25 The R301 does NOT need a buff.. That gun is insane.. I see almost everyone use it. I don't unless I have anvil, but if I already have my guns set, I'll ping the R301 and someone in my squad will almost always take it.. Any buff it will be ridiculous. I get dropped by that so quickly because its the easiest gun to control out of ALL the guns in the game.

@SolitaryMassacre Bro, people litterally don't pick up and walk right past it for a R-99. Only a small few actually use the R-301. It has its moments, doesn't mean it under-performing which it is.

@Leo_the_Lion25 Either way, the R-301 is in good shape as it is now. Sure, it may be the weakest AR, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually weak. Besides, there will always be a “weakest gun”, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

@Leo_the_Lion25 I agree. However, I think you are looking at the situation wrongly. People pick up the R99 over the R301 because they have the capability to use the R99 like an assault rifle. So my argument is the reverse, keep the R301 where it is, and nerf the R99 (Mainly just add damage fall off, that is all it needs) I love the R301, so if you buffed it, I would technically be happy. But the problem isn't the R301, I want to solve the problem at the source, the R99.

@Leo_the_Lion25 The r301 is in a great place tbh , the recoil on it is pretty much nonexsistent compared to most of the other weapons in the game.It doesn't need a buff,its such a versatile gun especially paired with its hop-up,It can be a viable gun at all ranges to about 200-250m. Spitfire is okay .TT does need love and I pretty much agree with all of the buffs you suggested .I would hope that they would increase the damage for the mozam and make the shots more consisitent

@wattzon16R-301 is lowkey bad with the low damage and the recoil is not nonexistent.

@Leo_the_Lion25 The R301 does not need a buff. It's got low recoil, a good rof and cant take the anvil receiver as well. Like others have said, it's in a good spot at the moment, a solid all rounder.

The Spitfire is fine as well, it's got a huge mag and is pretty controllable with the low fire rate, anymore damage and it would be a little to forgiving.

No the only weapon right now that needs to be nerfed is the freaking G7. All the ranked players know about it. 34 on body shots with that amount of versatility. 34!!!!!! out classes every freaking sniper on the game. you might as well run, and running isn't even going to get you anywhere. put some damage falloff on it for the love of god. 34! body shots. How is this overlooked?
