R-99 Strategy
As was mentioned above, the R-99 can boast of quite a fast fire rate, which seems to make it a perfect choice. However, it takes time and skills to master this weapon because a player has to try hard to land most of its 18-round clip to take down the enemy. Thus, it is recommended to choose this SMG for close or medium distances. At a long range, its high recoil can really get in your way if you lack experience in dealing with this gun. However, if you can get a bit closer to your enemy, the R-99’s light rounds and quick firing sequence can bring you many benefits.
