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 ...

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.
