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 ...

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Easily my favorite gun right now. Only thing I hate about it is that I can’t kill anyone without a mag and the iron sights (though not the worst) needs a 1x site for me.
@Cheese9ManYou see, this is what I don't get...
From my understanding you are actually really good at the game, but you can't use the iron sights?
I don't mean to flex or anything, but I can one clip pretty easily with an R301 at medium range, no mag, iron sights. Same with an R9 but not as easily tho...also Flatline and pretty much anything aside from a P20 and Moz.
I know your stats are better than mine. Question is why? I don't mean to be rude, but it seems logical that if all else was equal my stats would be higher? I don't get it. And I've seen this over and over where people have good stats, rack up crazy high win rates and kd/s but they can't shoot. Again, not saying you can't shoot, you are clearly a good player, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Same with OP who is in top 30 I think world wide on Xbox with headshots yet he has like a 2% win rate?
Also, it seems most opponents don't miss either...
Again, I'm convinced that lobbies are not equal for all players.
- @Sand_spitter I'm not a fan of the r301 iron sights either. It's just a preference thing and likely not a lobby thing. I don't remember who said it but someone said they actually like the hemlock irons. Until the 3030 was released I considered them the worst on the game.
- @hayhor I still sometimes play whole matches with iron sights if I can't get a sight to drop. It's not ideal but it still works fine in terms of accuracy. But he specifically says he can't play with it at all, also needs a mag. At his level it shouldn't really matter. It could only be a lobby thing if you think about it, and it's not the 1st time I've seen this.
- @Sand_spitter The lobby thing is likely sound. Whether you need a mag or not really depends on the other guys movement. If you get the jump on someone with poor movement it's easy no matter what. But someone aware that knows they have cover can usually get away from me without a blue mag. And I'm average at best.
- @Sand_spitter Don’t think about it too much. Just a preference thing. If I didn’t get a sight, it’s not the end of the world to the point that the gun is useless. Just better with a 1x or better a bruiser.
I have other weird preferences like I prefer the holo better when using the flatline than the 1x hcog. Also, I have crouch on the left bumper button. Lol.- @Cheese9Man I have different preferences for different weapons as well. I primarily use the 1x hcog on my smg's, pistols and shotguns, and a 2x on my AR or lmg. I prefer the holo on the Flatline, Wingman and Moz though, even though I don't like that thing on anything else, Lmao
- @dSKyNafinchin For me it's 1x on everything. Iron sights on Wingman lol. I don't use snipers because they feel bad (except Kraber) to shoot and bullet speed is the dumbest thing I've ever seen, people just walking out the way as you pull the trigger...ridiculous. Sniper shots should be instant imo.
- @Cheese9Man Yep, my button config will prob seem strange to some as well, most things are remapped but it works for me.
