Gibraltar buff are way to much

@Koochi-QWell not using hipfire at all in Apex is very highly suboptimal style of play. Obviously the game should never be balanced around suboptimal play, so you just have to find your own tactics and plays against things that may be "OP" in suboptimal those misplayed played situations.

As for hipfire (if you're willing to get better) - just get a feel for the spread in training (and also the different hipfire recoil patterns for each weapon), so that you know the maximum effective distance for it (it's quite short, 10-20m max for most weapons) and just don't do it from further away. At the very least don't ADS, when the enemy is 1 meter away XD - even longbow can hit those shots (the hipfire is extremely random on longbow).

As for R99, it's very hard to use without purple mag now (you really can't miss a single bullet), but it still pays off if you hit the shots. I generally prefer the big-mag heavy weapons nowadays (e.g., prowler+hemlok loadout) - way more forgiving and the dps is still fine (P.S., hipfire with flatline somehow feels weird at first (bullets seem to always "lag" behind and not hit (flatline's bullets are really not slow, so the effect has no explanation)), but it's fine with some practice).
