R301 Legends: I think I get it now

For the first time in 14 seasons (I’m counting S0), I’m genuinely annoyed with the effectiveness of the 301. I use to be in the “301 is the most balanced gun in the game” clan, but I’ve really ...

@Axs5626Sxa5001I've always viewed that gun as a noob starter gun. Anyone who doesn't know how to shoot other weapons will gravitate towards it. It's the easiest gun to use aside from the alternator and it's everyone's favorite after playing the game for like 2 hours. R99 / Flatline / Wingman all day long for me. They are harder to use but the payoff is big if you have the know how. I get what you mean though...it's easy to be "good" with it and easy to find. The og spitfire was the same way.

edit: You know what? I'll just say it. It's the "Valk" of weapons lol.

  @Sonvekk Yep, they call me wild child.
  
  They are harder to use at range, they have heavier recoil patterns. It's that simple.

@Sand_spitterIt’s a noob gun because of how easy it its to use. But I’m playing in Master/Pred pubs and ranked and almost everyone has one. Its got to be the most used gun in higher MMR, which means it’s overused for below average players and overused for above average players.

  Damn, you guys make me feel like a scrub. I picked up a 301 once in season 3. I shot it. Shots went everywhere but the target. I haven't picked one up since except as a place-holder. I guess maybe I should try it again.

  @Axs5626Sxa5001 100%, I remember when people were talking about switching over to the R301 instead of R99 back when, like Shiv, guess the trend is still goin' strong. There was a time when that gun was almost obsolete in higher lobbies and everyone had an R9 and PK / Wingman instead.
