How to use the R-99 in Apex Legends: Tips, damage stats, DPS Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players know that the R-99 SMG can be key to grabbing a victory. Though, there are a few tips that you can use in battle to really master this rapid weapon. The R-99 SMG is one of the top-tier weapons to use in Apex Legends, so picking one up is a great way to give yourself a chance of becoming the Apex Champion. However, the rapid sub-machine gun is a weapon that can also be pretty tricky to handle. Its recoil is one of the most difficult to control in-game and to do the full 198 damage, you will have to land 90% of the shots from one round of ammo \u2013 which can be difficult in the late game. It didn\u2019t receive any real major changes in the Season 14 buffs and nerfs, but to help you unleash the R-99\u2019s full potential, you\u2019ll need to get to grips with its hyper-aggressive playstyle. Apex Legends R-99 damage stats As noted, the R-99 can deal some serious damage if you get up close and personal with an enemy player. If you\u2019ve managed to master the recoil, you\u2019ll shred through an enemy\u2019s health in no time. If you\u2019re lucky enough to get a weapon in the early part of the game, where enemies don\u2019t have a ton of armor on, it\u2019ll take between six and eight clean shots to deal 100 damage to an unarmored opponent. The full damage breakdown for the R-99 can be found below. R-99 Mag attachments This lightning-fast SMG can spew out hundreds of Light Rounds with very little downtime, provided you have the ammo. To avoid having to constantly reload mid-firefight, you\u2019ll want to prioritize upgrading the R-99\u2019s Mag. Below you can see the number of rounds each mag rarity will give you. Stock: 20 – White Mag: 22 – Blue Mag: 24 – Purple\/Gold: 27 – R-99 optic attachments Here are the optics that can be equipped to the R-99: 1x Holo – 1x HCOG \u201cClassic\u201d – 2x HCOG \u201cBruiser\u201d – 1x-2x Variable Holo – 1x Digital Threat – Load up on attachments and use optics Now, if you\u2019re dedicated to getting better at Apex, mastering the R-99\u2019s recoil can take some time in the Firing Range. However, if the luck is on your side, you\u2019re better off loading up on attachments \u2013 specifically the Barrel Stabilizer, Extended Light Mag, and a sight of your choice. Unlike some other weapons, you aren\u2019t slowed down when you aim down sight. In fact, when you aim down sight with the R-99, you\u2019re still pretty quick across the ground. This means that you ADS without becoming a sitting duck. Don\u2019t ever use the R-99 at long range Kill-hungry Apex players will take shots with weapons even when they aren\u2019t supposed to. You may deal a tiny touch of damage to an enemy, but you\u2019re likely to never get a kill as enemies will simply dash away. The R-99 only has a 1x headshot multiplier from 39 meters and beyond. This means you\u2019re better off either using your secondary weapon at range or trying to get closer to your foe. Also, Apex Legends Season 14: Hunted added the Laser Sight attachment which can greatly reduce hipfire spread, making the R-99 even more of a beam in close-quarters combat. R-99 recoil pattern You can see the recoil pattern for the R-99 above. After shaking from side-to-side for the first 5-6 shots, it goes flying up and slightly to the right. To mitigate this, simply pull down and veer slightly left. Once you\u2019ve mastered this recoil pattern, you\u2019ll be even more accurate in close-quarter fights. You can see recoil patterns for all the weapons here. So, there you have it, everything you need to know about the R-99. If you follow these R-99 tips & tricks, you\u2019ll be able to secure more SMG kills in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
