r301 should be vaulted.

I think the r301 has served its purpose. The r301, I believe, is the gun meant for new people. All guns have some sort of quirk to them that requires skill to handle. The r301 however, does not. Barley recoil so small it's almost non-existent, shoots fast like an re45 and the hip fire spread is not even big especially when crouch spamming. We are going 6 years in and there are still people who are good at the game using this easy gun. The only argument there is for it is that they nerfed the damage, but it doesn't matter if you are hitting all your shots. I want to mention that I'm speaking in terms of everyone in general. The skilled and the bad. Overall this gun is to easy to use. So what I'm saying is it doesn't matter if you're good or not; if you use the flatline vs r301 you're most likely going to hit more of you shots with r301 because it's so easy and more than likely do more damage and get more knocks. Even with range it has a semi-automatic, but people don't use it because they'd rather copy their favorite streamer but if you turn it on it's really good. All in all the gun doesn't fit with the rest as all guns require know-how to use while the r301 you just pick up shoot. I can't see any reason anyone would have for disagreeing so I'm curious as to how many people do while seeing how many people actually care to agree and push this. (Probably none)

    The R301 got vaulted a few seasons back and player numbers dropped rapidly.Don't see any issues with the gun, as others have said just a solid all round noob friendly gun😃

  • @WargasmatronWhen you say shotguns outclass it are you referring to one shotgun like the peacekeeper? and with the pistols i can only assume you mean p2020 and i think the p2020 is fine as is. Its a semi pistol so aim and precision are what it takes to make good use of it.

  • @Rye-ScoBut my point is also that there are plenty of good players that use it. And this is year 6. Just how many "new" people really play and stick around?

    I just want to say I appreciate all of your opinions and am glad I'm getting responses. However, I would like it if you could please note ALL of my points in original post and try to counter them instead of saying you don't think it should and just leave it at that.
