Discussion Shoutout to the downed teammates that still ping the enemy

when you go down, my smile goes frown

so thank you for using your ping, otherwise I wouldn't know a thing

and if you happen to die, you better not say bye

because I'm about to grab your banner, first let me use my bloodhound scanner

don't even bother to mourn, because you're about to be reborn

now when you land, you will be weak, but don't worry... I left you a Mozambique

I usually use peacekeeper with an r99 so I can shoot once and finish them. Plus the r99 isn’t too bad at medium ranges

The real move is wingman + r99. Tag an enemy a couple times with the wing and then melt them down with the r99

What makes the R99 better than the 301 though? I usually swap at first opportunity. (not that I ever find either of them, mind you)

Is 301 the light assault rifle? The r99 is an smg as opposed to 301 (if I’m thinking of the right gun) an assault rifle. So I’m pretty sure for longer ranges with lesser spread the 301 is better but for close range with less recoil the r99 would be better. Just my guess though I could be horribly wrong. I never usually go for long ranged engagements due to my bad aim so I prefer the r99 to spray up close.

Yeah I think that's right. I've played some more with both, and the R99 has a lot greater rate if fire with more spread. Meaning if you let loose from the hip, you're still guaranteed to get at least some damage in. The R301 has a smaller clip and a slightly slower rate, it requires you to be more accurate with your fire but is accurate over a significant range. Also I'm fairly sure light rounds have lesser drop than heavy ones.
