@hayhor When I run it, I tend to run with a 99 or Volt, depends whats available and what magazines I find on drop.
The spitfire I use at ranges the 99/volt really are not that great at. The 99/volt I use in the CQC fights. It's a fairly solid combo. I do think the flatline or 301 is a slightly better gun still. But those guns have 0 margin for error vs spitfire players. If you have to reload you're dead. I get downed by the players who don't miss shots with their anvil hop ups.
Most of the time that I die to spitfire players, it's happening in one of three ways. The entire team is running it (or at least 2 are), I down one enemy and the second gets me. You can't run and reload or do much of anything because their magazine is just never ending. The other is the spitfire player sort of hangs back a bit and spams shots at me.
I would agree that anytime you have 2 people shooting at you, you'll be lucky to down 1 of them. But the spitfire has really lowered the success rate of pulling off clutches like that.
I don't know if the gun needs a nerf. It's just a really obnoxious gun to deal with at times. Especially when the person who killed you shot 80% of their magazine into the wall. It's a third partiers dream gun that's for sure.. Oh look fighting, I'm just going to sit here and spray bullets endlessly.

only reason why I'll ever run the spitfire is because it's part of rampart's passive. otherwise if I'm not using her, than I'll never pick up a spitty or any lmg

@DarthValtrex Pre buff your description was accurate, but the OG spitfire was actually a monster, it got nerfed pretty early on lol.
I do think that the spitfire should be a powerful suppression weapon, along with every other LMG, I just find the way respawn go about nerfs/buffs pretty frustrating at times lol. 😛
