[@teejay1646]

Part of me agrees but it's actually the RE-45 that needs to go BC it's genuinely superfluous. P2020 at least feels like it's own thing It's either a worse R9 or just purely outclasses it (which usually indicates we're in a pretty scuffed gun meta)

[@teejay1646]

@@Aesthxticz- Extraneous, unnecessary. RE-45 and R99 are functionally the same thing with slightly different handling/damage numbers Both fill the niche of a very short ranged, automatic, light-ammo weapon with good handling P2020 is semi automatic and much more ammo efficient: which means it deserves a place in the game.

As a slightly above average player (high Plat-low Diamond), I find the Mastiff to be easier to handle and dish out damage than the PK. I can see why you have em ranked where you do though.

[@itsmesteve1081]

I picked it up a handful of times towards the end of last season and it was really putting in work for me as well. The recoil is actually not that hard to control. If you can control the havoc's recoil then you can most definitely control this one. I wish I had more time with it

[@QueenNala487]

Diabolical, but I like it 😂

[@KleoIsAG1rl]

my comment is going to refer mainly to the 30-30 and G7, i personally find the G7 much more viable, mainly cause it may have a lower damage, but you don't have to charge it for max damage, you can just start clicking, the recoil isn't all that bad so you can generally get more shots on target, the 30-30 is just super inconsistent for me, i don't get why, but when i use 30-30 and G7 side by side, i can't hit anyone with the Repeater, but i can generally consistently hit enemies with the G7, so i personally would switch the G7 and 30-30 placements, without the skullpiercer, i just don't think the 30-30 is all that useful, that's my stance on the matter though

[@natetoopi567]

Agreed. I’ve found a lot more success with the G7. More reliable damage that you can constantly shoot without the need of a charge.

G7 feels like the strongest marksman right now, 3030 is kinda mid and tripple take is good, g7 scout main strenght is destroyment of enemy heal economy, 2 shots from g7 make them need to use 3 shield cells and it has the strongest dps from all marksman rifles, yes ammo economy is kinda trash for a marksman but g7 itself is worth gun to take to fight, you got covered all ranges and at close range it has amazing hipfire, not to mention it uses the most common ammo to find and its a spam marskman, Solid A Tier.

I think CAR is way better that R99, but I agree with both your ratings. Pretty spot on, overall. I believe i agree with this 100%, thank you for the quality content !

[@jdowning39]

I've really only been playing heavily for the past season but I really like using the p2020, with a mag and 1x scope, it's not for close up necessarily, but it's a strong weapon imho if it's used in it's strongest way, relatively high damage per bullet mixed with the fastest strafe speed

Havoc really doesn’t need a change, if they actually make the car and r99 relevant again and give the flatline some decent hip fire then the havoc will have competition up close. Don’t forget it hasn’t been changed much since s1, but every other automatic weapon being nerfed has made it meta by accident.

[@supercarfanatic1049]

The havoc was always good, once you got used to the charge up time and dragged your mouse or thumb stick down to the floor it was a menace. Never was an issue until pros started to complain about it.

[@napsy27]

R301 with a 1x feels insanely good. Maybe this is an mnk thing but it feels like shooting in aim training games, theres barely any recoil. Even at long range I can use it pretty well. If theres not enough energy ammo for my team, I would drop my havoc for it

Solos brought a new meta because if you play trios you are gonna see probably smg AR combo most of the time because it’s 3v3 but in solos sense it’s 1v1’s you wanna wrap things up as fast as possible the meta is PK or mastiff obviously if you find a eva you pick it up with any smg except the R-99 and if you so wish to you can switch the smg for the havoc because it’s that damm good

[@AndyNocturne]

I've been a believer in the Hemmy since preseason days. But would you really rather have a Hemlock over a Nemesis? And as someone who never could control the R-99 back in the day, I find the new R-99 very easy to control. Aside from the new recoil pattern, did they nerf the R-99?

[@ggpoh4925]

How is recoil a downside when you just move to the left or right and remove vertical recoil completely?

[@oldjebidiahbrown2454]

The Flatline's hipfire recoil is completely random, unless you are 6 meters or less from your opponent. Also one thing to consider about the mastiff is if you have the Shots, shots, shots (auto reloads shotguns on knocks) perk that gibby and Maggie have, it is an S tier weapon and beats the peacekeeper by a mile due to its fire rate, more consistent damage output, and a higher squad wipe potential because you can just keep spamming that mastiff and knocking everyone down. Shots, shots, shots is definitely a perk designed for the mastiff and mozam

One plus to the mozam, is it has pretty good range.

The havoc has always been good i remember when it first came into the game, it was completely busted, even back then it was problematic its definitely a gun I think they just struggle to balance why keeping its identity, because to everyone its that fast firing assault rifle that feels like it was meant to be a smg

[@sewatweaty5549]

Alternator is S tier with disrupter, B without. Wingman is still the strongest gun in the game outside of CP guns or turbo havoc. I love it but not when it's used against me. Also scout feels high B tier to me, I think it's better than the 3030 since the nerf to its recoil. Also the 301 is pretty bad, it's been nerfed nearly as hard as the r99.

The flatline is easy s teir but u have to be good as it’s not an easy gun to use but if u get the recoil down it’s amazing. The hip fire is always great for me idk what flatline h have been using

[@yashee3421]

It's funny, the havoc has been pretty much unchanged since launch. It's always been this strong, and now everyone is putting it in S tier cos pros are using it. Real ones know the havoc's always been this good, just overshadowed because it's more difficult to use. Also, with a turbo charger, it's the best gun uncontested. The havoc shouldn't be changed because it's a gimmicky gun like the nemesis and the rampage. it's not your standard weapon and requires a higher skill ceiling to get its full potential.

The Hemlock is still fine, BUT it is NOT S class at all. You’re better picking up a Nemesis or Flatline than a Hemlock this season. The hemlock isn’t as strong as it was the last two seasons too. Saying Hemlock is still S class this season ridiculous. It’s a A tier weapon in my opinion. Just go into mixtape with it and try to fight other players with Flatlines and Nemesis, a majority of the time you’re going to lose with your hemlock. Same with the Battle Royale. It’s still a good poking gun, but it isn’t the most reliable in close range as it was before the last couple seasons. So putting it in S class when other assault rifle guns can outgun it at the moment just doesn’t make sense. There’s a reason there aren’t as many people using the hemlock this season.
