r-99 ruining the gun meta
Season 6 had a healthy combination of gun strengths now in season 7 the only gun to be used is the r-99 making almost every other gun nearly useless
Forum Discussion
@GH0STEDbyME yup lol, basically anywhere you can weasel around.
Main reason I love turbine when using him, low light and lots of high spots to drop on unsuspecting skin bags. 😛
@MandatoryIDtagWanna figure out the difference of the 2. Just go to firing range and slowly head shot tap a dummy. See which can kill a dummy head shot first and which has xxx amount of rounds left compared to other this will show you if the 99 is stronger then volt.
@E9ine_AC Doesn't bother me lol, they're powerful and that's all you need to know really.
Personally wish they CP'ed the volt rather than the prowler though. 😛
@MandatoryIDtagThe volt needs to be outside of the box to ensure some kind of ammo balance on the map, heavy weapons still have the flatline/hemlock outside to kinda compete vs light and energy
You dont have that for energy when the volt would be gone, Havoc and Devo need supercharger to be competetive vs the others
- @MandatoryIDtag Well i tested it. Volt is stronger by 2 bullets.
Base 99 holds 20 rounds it took 12 bullets to head shot kill a dummy.
Volt base holds 19 took 10 bullets to kill a dummy. @matzesingt A valid point dude.
My hatred of the volt is probably on par with your hatred of the mastiff though....so from that perspective I imagine my comment makes more sense lol. 😛
- @MandatoryIDtag Only reason I don't really lean more towards Volt is that then you have to carry 5 stacks of ammo, and as someone who is heavily obsessed with inventory space management that's a big no-no. Carrying my usual 3 stacks for R-99 works.
- @BaldWraithSimp Well, the Volt would have a slightly smaller mag size, and slightly slower fire rate, so how come you carry more ammo for it?
@Sir_NamedPfft smaller mag size my *. It's a curse really with energy guns, you ought to carry 4 or more stacks, or you risk running out of these at any point. Either you get sh%t ton of energy ammo or you find none at all. R99 may have faster fire rate but light ammo isn't so hard to come by compared to energy ammo.
Maybe it's just me and my OCD cuz I ain't carrying less than 4 stacks of energy ammo if I decide to pick a energy gun. 3 stacks of light ammo has never failed me, except some rare situations.- @BaldWraithSimp Ah, so the problem is finding energy ammo. I mean, you could always craft some.
Possibly your OCD though. @Sir_Named His craft material total would be out of whack then though. XD
- @MandatoryIDtag I mean, crafting ammo is one of the cheapest things, so it wouldn’t be that hard to find a few nearby caches.
@Sir_Named I was just teasing lol.
Problem with them is you end spending ages crafting ammo and it can leave you pretty vulnerable.
@MandatoryIDtagWell, at that point, you should just drown the enemies in ammo. Just pour the ammo down in a flood, sweep your enemies away.
- @Sir_Named Crafting ammo 2 or 3 times makes sense in one game, I am not going to stand and craft 180+ ammo when I completely run out of them. Light ammo is everywhere, no matter how low you go you would at least have 60 or something. Energy ammo is a hit or miss from my personal experience, I mean you are aware of the 'I need energy ammo' cries xD. Only Bald TTV Wraiths run out of light ammo and I definitely ain't one.
