CENTER SCREEN DOT PLEASEI hear you guys are putting the R99 in the Carepackage.If so, Please give the R99 the triangle hip-fire reticle.The triangle hip-fire reticle makes it easy to hip-fire.The Triangle reticle is on the R97.Last 40 round mags.https://youtu.be/AquDXbv2vC4Center screen dot -> 3:00

@BaldWraithSimpAnd give us new SMG calls volt as you guys heard

@hhnbbfggty66 Don't forget that the Alternator in TF2 was an absolute beast as well though.Look at in Apex, its a throw away weapon.

@ArchAngeL-PCXYeah, but we get the Volt instead,Which was a beast in its own right.I dont mind the R99 going to carepackage as long as we get the un-nerfed version.I have been titanfall 2 since 2017 and I can tell you the R99 is a nerfed version of the R97. Because I used the R97 with Stim everyday for a year before Apex legends release.And I can tell you the R99 is a nerfed version of the R97.For 1. the R99 doesnt have the Triangle hip-fire reticle the R97 has making it hard as hell to hipfire the R99.Back in 2018 I could hipfire and stim with the R97 like a beast!I cant do the same with R99 due to the open cross hipfire reticle.In comparison, its super hard to hipfire the R99.Also the R97 had a large 40 round magazine making it easy to spray and pray.Intially the R-Series weapons suppose to be hipfire spray and pray weapons dealing small damage, with large magazines and excellent hipfire.A weapon truely used for high mobility spray and pray tactics.Not Ads firing.I just hope the carepackage R99 allow you all to get a taste of what the R99 suppose to be.SPRAY aNd PRAY!

@hhnbbfggty66 It really is not though. Mean while the biggest gun ran by actual cheaters gets a huge buff and reloads that much faster to aimbot down 2 teams in seconds. It is going to make the game even more toxic then it already is.

@E9ine_AC Nah its great its being put in the supply drop. 90% of gun fights involve the R99 at the moment its so boring and stale. It will be a good shake up plus I enjoy the people crying. 😆

Yeah, dude I just hope they give us the R97.

The R99 is just a nerfed R97, but now since its going to be a carepackage weapon it can be overpowered, and first starting with the triangle hipfire reticle.

The triangle hipfire reticle removal was the biggest nerf to the R99.
And the R99 being a Carepackage weapon we can get the triangle reticle and get an easier hipfire.

@hhnbbfggty66 How can you tell it's a nerfed R97? R97 is from TitanFall 2 where pilots go down in a couple of hits. Its not a shield cracking, bullet sponging BR lol

Does this mean the Peacekeeper is coming back out? I hope this isn't happening. I'm not an R99 fan, but I'm not a fan at all of them cycling weapons into the care packages. Maybe if they cycled them back out more frequently, like say every half season. No, not even then. They should have left the care package weapons alone...Mastiff, LStar, Kraber.
This is not the way to change a meta. It's just going to make people mad who legit like the R99 or any other gun they decide to exile into the care package. And at this point, people may have spent some good money on skins and charms for these weapons....looking at you Pal 9000 Peacekeeper with MRVN bobblehead charm...*sigh*.
The way to help the meta is to make more options viable in the current loot table, not take away weapons. Make the Volt good enough that it can compete with the R99. Make it so players don't feel they have to hunt for that R99 because other options are legit as good.
And every time they push something to the care package, the result is we get a worse option in return after they nerf it. Devotion was a powerful option, especially with the hop up. It got sent to the care package, and the LStar has not measured up. Same with the PK-Mastiff swap. I'll drop the Mastiff for a Mozambique regularly. It's not been remotely an even swap.

@hhnbbfggty66 I dunno, putting it inside care-package just seems like a cop-out IMO. They already did this with the PK so it's kinda like, woah are we just hocking weapons that people complain about frequently into the CP and rotating others in?
There were plenty of options they hadn't explored in regards to balancing R99, they could've increased its firerate but lowered damage, lowered damage without any increase, decreased its availability, made barrel mods less effective, etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, a meta change was desperately needed for 3 seasons now, but I don't think this was the way to go about it. If they really wanted every fight to feel different and fresh, they'd bring other weapons up, not the top 2 weapons down.
If they do put R99 in CP, it's probably just going to be Wingman / R301 + Secondary meta again.
