R99 needs a nerf
R99 needs more of a nerf. Still the go to weapon for every person. It's boring playing the game and having the r99 be the only real viable weapon. Alao the heck is up with how accurate hip fire is ...

@matzesingt Its not as easy to just compare the damage. Why you will never lose a fight with R99 v's Flatline is for two main reasons, the recoil is harder to control on FL + the movement speed in ADS is slower than that of R99. You are basically a sitting duck with FL - if we both ADS each other, I will hit you in the head a hell of alot easier than you will me. Same case with r301 (ADS have terrible movement, and if you do try to ADS v's R99 you will die in a matter of seconds).That is why R99 outshines them by a lot, you still have very good recoil control + crazy damage + very good movement in ADS + and devastating hip fire.
These are the reasons as to why most people run R99 with a wingman, not because other famous people use them, people actually use their own brains - analyse and use what ever the meta is.
Mastiff is honestly only really good close up, it is not at all like the PK - that was efficient at also medium range.
If they want r301 to be an actual contender, they need to revert some of the nerfs. Also removing PK-Devotion as being care package weapons, and people might start using something else than a R99.
They also need to add more weapons with a fast ADS movement such like the R99.
Not sure why you are talking about recoil macros, recoil in this game is insanely easy to control - the only two weapons that are a struggle as far as recoil goes is Havok / FL in this game. The problem before was that with all the muzzle flash combined (meaning you could barley see what you shot at, made it soo much worst - currently that is not an issue, other than on L-star).
Also Shroud hasn't played this game since season 2-3, not sure why his opinion is worth mentioning here? We are talking about current season - I hope.
@NitromethaneAPShroud said this recently.
I play Flatline and i win alot of fights vs r99, if they dont oneclip they just die.
Ads speed doesnt matter that much cuz it doesnt effect sliding at all
@matzesingtI see, thought he left during start of season 3.
Well I like flatline too, but when it comes down to it - just feels a wee bit too inconsistent when compared to R99. Somedays you will lazer people, other times the hitback from the initial recoil messes you up big time. It seems really random the recoil, making it hard to adjust atleast for me. Perhaps im just not used to it.
Why I really like the R99 is the movement speed in ADS, wish there would be more weapons like it - instead of them nerfing it again.
@NitromethaneAPmy point was ofc not to say r99 is bad or anything i was just trying to make the point that flatline and r301 can compete,in many scenarios they are closer to each other as many might expect atleast thats my experience, i drop r99 for a flatline any time tbh.
Oneclipping someone with an r99 is not very consistent even for the top tier players, and if you dont oneclip the flatline and r301 have a huge window where they can easy drop you with the rest of their clip
Personal prefferance is ofc a thing for me and i just love the flatline and how beasty it actually is close combat, beeing able to drop 2 people with one clip is actually a big thing and seem to be underrated by alot of people@matzesingtyou had good points. I used to love R301 but after the nerfs its a bit of bad taste in my mouth, I went from loving it to straight up never using it anymore.
