The r99 meta needs some nerfs

We all know that THE competitive weapon RN is the r99. Often paired with a peacekeeper or wingman for maximum dps in a short amount of time. And that is fine BUT, I do think the r99 is too effecti...

@MandatoryIDtag U r right. As a pc player, i dont think this game has recoil, it's so minimal to regconize.

Tracking is way more important than recoil control in this game.

Try not compensating for recoil at all and then say with a straight face there's no recoil XD.

Just pulling down is not enough to use R99 at extended range - you need to compensate the full S pattern. The problem is it's still learnable and hence it still eventually becomes default for longer ranges. That's the main reason why randomness in recoil patterns is a necessity. R301 got the randomness treatment and it's much better for it. R99 should be next.

P.S. That's all assuming R99 is not intended to be used effectively at range. If there's no such intention, then I guess everything is fine as it is now. But considering R301 got the nerf because it competed with DMR's at long range, I would suspect R99 is not supposed to compete with R301 at mid-range either.
