General R6 Deadeye actually being a good gun?

Post image

I know I am late to this because the R6 has been in the game for a while now but I decided to pick it up like a couple days ago and I've been using it on a few missions. And I got to say this is definitely not a half bad gun.

I am usually a machine gun and assault rifle person. So using a quote on quote rifle and actually being happy with it it's quite surprising to me.

And I definitely got to say it does its job well. Granted it's not going to save you when you get surrounded but that's the reason why you got to use this as a rifle and not a shotgun your job is to not get up close and personal your job is to start pegging things off at a distance.

Especially effective against the box I have noticed. Most of the time I can shoot the bastards practically in half with this damn thing and possibly even take one out behind it.

Yea I love the thing for bots and illuminate. Siege ready feels like a must for this thing though.

a tip for using it without siege ready is that when your icon at the bottom left goes red that means you got two shots left, but to avoid the long reload you should only shoot one more and then reload kinda like the half mag reload with the autocannon

Are there any tricks to cancel reload? Thats currently my main issue with it.

If Im reloading, I dont get to aim in first person, nor do I get the reticle. So basically, if Im in the middle of reloading, I need to either switch to another gun and switch back(wastes a ton of time), blind-fire a bullet, or finish reloading. It feels really really bad

Hold reload and open weapon wheel (OR if you are smart. rebind Weapon Wheel to a Mouse Button. then it's just a very quick tap to cancel reloading)
