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 ...

@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.
