@hhnbbfggty66 I like most of what you’ve said. The R-99 recoil does not need a change though. I know players who still have no issue countering the recoil.

    @DarthValtrexNo, The R99 needs to be changed so it can be used by everyone instead of just pros.

    The problem is the R99 has been nerfed to the point only pros can use it. This makes it where average players can not challenge pros unless they are running a keyboard and mouse.

    Us controller players can not compensate for the reoil.

    The R99 recoil should be the same as the R301, that would be perfect.

      @hhnbbfggty66 So you want the r99, the weapon with the third fastest fire rate in the game (after the energy weapons) to have no recoil (cause r301 has no freaking recoil) and to have an ever bigger magazine size... That would be too broken bro

      @hhnbbfggty66 No one would use the R-301 if the R-99 recoil was the same. The R-99 has a higher DPS.

      Higher DPS guns should require more skill to use and be more difficult to use. I get the point that makes it advantageous for higher skill players, how ever that’s why the game has SBMM and the firing range. Master the R-301 then start toying with the 99 In the firing range. Get comfortable with the 99 in the firing range then play some PUBS to build in game skill.

      The R-99 is already an incredibly strong gun as is. Giving it less recoil would just make it too easy to get it's insane damage output. I know I cant relate to you struggle as a console player, but this really isn't the gun or the game's fault. Balance is not built around your ability.
