@DerPrimerPanzer I completely agree. The R-99 definitely needs a slight adjustment. I have a few issues with it's current state. firstly, its far too common of a weapon that requires the most common ammo in the game, making it the easy go to weapon. Secondly, the effective use at mid-range in gun fights is ridiculous. This is the major one for me. You have a weapon that absolutely melts at close range and you can basically get the same result at mid-range. For such a common weapon along with a quick reload it makes this weapon far too strong.
Don't get me wrong most people are going to say it's hard to control and if you miss your shots your are in trouble. I agree with all of that but lets be honest, if you are missing your shots not matter the weapon you're in trouble regardless. The R-99 is a fun gun and I use it time to time mostly because I come across so many. A slight nerf to the range would put this weapon in a great place.

Usually SMG are meant for close range, but this game, especially r99 that have crazy fire rate that able to deal same damage at far distance. Where is the law of physics?
- 7 years ago@TissuePaper77 Exactly this! If I pick up a SMG I should be a close range threat, not a distance threat. I feel they have this same problem with the shotgun. Understandably, you'll need the hop up on the shotgun. But these are to be close range weapons. You shouldn't be getting huge damage numbers from a great distance.

Are we talking about hemlok with, or without, the inspect weapon exploit? And/or auto-clicker macros?
With one or the other, hemlok is really quite broken; r99 fire rate, spitfire damage, r301 recoil.
It desperately needs fixing.
More generally I think all semi-auto guns that can be macro'ed need a rethink, even the p2020.
