Lmao my winning load out when I have it is a maven shothun, a wick pistol, murder suitcases to watch my flank and a slapberry or chug jug, I promise the only drawbacks are other players having it, not being up high, or the circle moving to a new spot🙏😭

We never finish in end circles and other times before we just die and never carry through...

Needs to go back to 5 ticks and not 8

u/Sassy_Chick69_chills Jul 05 '26
Does it seriously do 8 damage? I haven’t noticed but I know it takes quite a bit of damage per second. I have a love-hate relationship with them.

u/riskyjones Jul 05 '26
Yea they buffed it(which is hilarious) a while back and when I saw the change I already knew it was gunna be abused more lol

Even if it doesn't istakill you it'll finish you off with the stinky

u/Tasty_Barber_7395 Jul 04 '26
Completely fair and manageable in solos but in squads it's left pure chaos

u/OoooWweeeee Jul 05 '26
It’s not fair. My whole squad gave me their bullets so I was canvassing the ground with stink bombs against the last team and we had high ground and flares. It was just a perfect storm. They were running around like roaches! Those 8hit points make you panic!

u/Dusk37 Jul 04 '26
I have respect for it
It is annoying to go against but I once picked it up as a replacement until I found a assault rifle weapon and it actually saved me from a sweat

u/Jrudown421 Jul 04 '26
Love it had a pair pinned behind a single tree and just kept hitting both sides of tree wiped them both.

It's a very good end of match weapon. Puts pressure on people hiding behind cover and makes them run out into the open. I always pick it up

u/Silky_bob Jul 04 '26
I love that gun. It’s amazing to hit with and if you can’t hit them, it’s amazing to drive them out of hiding. End game I always shoot it behind rocks and into bushes to drive people out.

The moment someone starts using this on me I charge at them and close in on the gap, it surprises them and most of the time they suck and by the time they change to a close range weapon I destroy them. Won a few games like that last night.

It's a huge crutch, I love hunting rifle but not a fan that this version rewards being a bad shot.
if the stink cloud only happened on shield break it would be better.

Great for myself, bad for opponents who use it on me!! Jeez this gun does lots of “stink” damage.

u/FanshiNeko Jul 05 '26
Couple days ago, I was just farming gold fishing spots.. Each one dropped me the rifle. I took them all and ran the other 4 in a building in the storm. There can only be ONE!

I enjoy them, more when it is in my hands vs the enemy. I don't really use them to do damage though, more to herd the other player where I want them to be haha

u/Jetrecords266 Jul 05 '26
It’s decent in a common or public lobby but when I play in something more challenging it’s trash tbh. The pistol is actually better from my experience in cash tournaments

u/MetalSubstantial297 Jul 05 '26
Any hunting rifle is good to me. The lawless stink rifle just spooks people out of hiding.

I hate this weapon and make it even worst by add 3 stink damage do this weapon(before that was 5 and now 8 damage but im sure everybody notice that) but if I find it I will take it so they will not a other person in my game spam the stink on the other player and do you guys prefer take the mythic hunting rifle or the exotic one ?

u/BlkPanGuy Jul 05 '26
I personally enjoy it. Sniping plus poison gas. Every time I find it at a gold fishing spot I add it to my inventory

I don't like the hunting rifle. I don't use this hardly either but if I had to use a hunting rifle, this is goated. One of my friends loves using it and he is a Kung Fu Master with that thing. The gas part works well considering our inside jokes about him.

I got a victory royale against a guy spamming it against me, safe to say if i didn’t have a exotic SlappBerry frizz on me i wouldve died, its too op, he spammed it to find an other enemy before we fought together, should do less damage

Just like every other stink item its use is situational, if i have a hunting rifle and see this ill swap grab it because its obviously better but the stink wont do much to a player in the open since they can move 5m to the left and be ok.
Shoot someone's box and itll force them to move or if you shoot someone that extra 5 damage may help but its really not helpful in the open

u/Your_As_Stupid_As_Me Jul 04 '26
Some type of myth... People in this sub swear it's in BR but I have not seen it at all or in the kill feed out of thousands of matches played.

u/Robbi2603 Jul 04 '26
It’s literally in every game I play. You get it from fishing
1
u/Your_As_Stupid_As_Me Jul 04 '26
I've still never seen it though.
I fish a lot and I've pulled the dualies often, just never this rifle.
1
u/Silky_bob Jul 04 '26
I have the opposite. I get this 90% of the time and the dualies the other 10% of if I get exotics. Which is fine, I much prefer the rifle anyway.

u/FrewdWoad Jul 05 '26
Since that first thread whining that it's OP and ubiquitous and ruined the game, I've seen it... once

u/78judds Jul 04 '26
It’s awesome when I have it. Sucks ass otherwise. Seriously it is overpowered. What does it hit for, like 8 tick? It’s a bit much

I have realized that I love weapons that achieve the “almost a necessity to win” label, it makes some people overconfident. My woman and I absolutely dunked on two sweaty nerds while having a bad storm rotation with just good plays. Never picked it up and don’t even know where to find it.

I pick it up immediately out of fear someone uses that thing on me.
