... okay, so not EVERYONE thinks that the R301 is the best gun in the game, but I think the majority would pick it as their number one choice.
However, since the update I (personally) think there's a new number one, the Prowler. If you can handle burst weapons then that thing now absolutely shreds.
@hayhorYea prowler imo is the one gun that has 100% accuracy with minimal effort needing to be applied. I have stood on the platform in the firing range where you get shotguns and crouch and hip fire the dummy all the way in front of the snipers. It's accuracy at that range is on point as if I'm right in front of them.
Also something about crouch firing improves hipfire so much. don't know why but all guns will perform better with hipfire if crouched. I can even hipfire crouch shot when in the air with with wingman its accuracy its nuts when crouched.
But...
...that has always been the problem with the triple bullet burst weapons. A mighty big IF.
I personally think this is appropriate for the Prowler, given it is short range, and hard to use. It should do more damage at close range than the R-301. I would go so far as to have not buffed the damage but to let it go back to full auto, because close range triple burst is completely annoying.
Aside from that, though, 'better', while opinion based, would mean to be better in all or nearly all circumstances. And DPS only works if you hit with your shots. So I go with the R-301 still as the never ever gonna have a gun better in the game. Or if it is, Respawn will be sure to nerf that other imposter weapon soon after

(On heavy weapons, at shortish range, I'd still also rather have a Flatline. That weapon makes me happy)
I like the following guns;
Spitfire, R-99, Flatline, Devotion, C.A.R., Alternator, Volt, and Tripletake.
I dislike the following guns;
Hemlock, Havoc, 30-30 Repeater, Wingman, and Bocek.
All others not listed above will do in a pinch, if my favorites are not available. Since having a weapon is much better than no weapon at all.
