R-99 is so overrated!

I've been grinding ranked / pubs through S7 and have to say that I honestly think the R-99 is one of the most overrated weapons. Don't get me wrong, I have had 7,8,9 kill games with this weapon but...

@rockyboy1998 R-99 is a risk-reward type of gun. If you got a very good aim, you will fry people. But if you miss your shots, it's very punishing. With Volt you can compensate as it has a slow fire rate and minimal recoil. And yeah, a mag is necessary.

I remember the first time I picked up R99 as a newbie the recoil threw me off. I just vowed never to pick that gun again. After that, I started running R99 somewhere in S3 and practised a lot in the range. Still not that good at it, but would take it over Prowler cuz of the hop-up requirement and Volt too cuz of 'I need energy ammo' situation.

@BaldWraithSimp Yeah I do agree with you.

I can use the weapon, but I honestly think that it just sucks compared to the other ones.

The Prowler is actually better in burst fire if you look at the stats compared to it with the hop up.

Every single time I have had a Prowler this season I have won that game, its ridiculously insane.

@rockyboy1998 I don't think you can count the Prowler this season because its a care package weapon. But I agree it's a better gun than the 99.

Volt is my go to CQC gun right now.
