Agree or disagree? Let me know your thoughts!
I think they should had put the re45 with disruptor rounds on the carepack and even throw in there hammerpoint rounds
8:22 THE DISRESPECT
Im curently playing re45 only in arenas and doing quite well kek
I said it sucks but could I be wrong well yes you are wrong sort of it’s only rly good off drop and mid game
I just love how quick it is in all aspects. It comes out fast, has a quick reload, and has great strafe speed, as well as good hip fire. It is just very satisfying to use and feels very fluid with little down time.
3x?
I wing games with the re 45 and wingman all the time.
I run wingman re45 a lot. I'm also a 1 kd plat player so take that as you will lol
It has better hipfire, less recoil, but also less ammo in mag and lower firerate, compared to R99.
The increased handling and faster reloads are nice, but it requires a lot of attachments to compete with meta choises on base level.
Possible hop-up could change this.
I think it's good for clutching quick fights in early game when nobody has high level shields. I often find an re-45 when I first land and it works well. Beyond early game tho, there are better options in my opinion.
@TGM what do you think would be sufficient ammo for a r301 and a r99
Interestingly I use the re-45 as a primary most of the time in arena and have some good kills in battle royal with it to
Kinda nutty with a good mag and a 2x Bruiser
The re-45 is one of my favorite guns. I usually use it for the first round in arenas
I was just thinking that it is under rated. Used it a lot today and it melts for me
slap a 2x on that baby and give me literally any shotgun and ill wipe a squad with the re-45 (its a good gun its just a little more situational than all the others)
This weapon is a beast on arenas
My opinion with the re-45 is that it is better than the r-99 for anybody who doesn't have good aim. With better hip-fire, easier recoil, and fast reload speed I think it's just better for people who can't hit all their shots.
It's consistently been one of my favorite weapons, but honestly, all light weapons are my favorite because I like the realistic feel to them. Sure it needs a high level mag to one clip people in mid-late game, but very early, it's amazing in cqb.
One of my favorite loadouts is wingman re-45
Virgin Apex RE-45 vs Chad TF2 RE-45
pretty sure flatline DPS is better than the r99, and way better than the 301. It also has the best TTK
I like to run the RE-45 as a secondary weapon in arenas. I just upgrade it once and I use it for the first few rounds until we can get more materials and I can upgrade to something a little better, but I certainly wouldn't say its bad, it has its pros and cons just like any other gun. Also as far as the Diagonal recoil pattern goes, it's pretty much constant for the entire magazine so it's really easy to control.
Not gonna lie. The chase scene in the beginning was a treat to watch 😂😂
RE-45 is just bad compared to other SMG's and close range weapons, the DPS just isnt there…. And the lack of dps is the ONLY downside it has. Otherwise its a really good weapon. But i have lost countless of 1v1's cause i had an RE-45 and the opponent had something like volt, lstar r99, prowler etc. They should increase the damage by one, that way the dps would stil only be 169, but still much better.
My highest damage and kill game EVER was with twin RE-45's. I pick it up regularly and it doesn't let me down. Bigger base clip size would be nice tho…
I love the RE-45. It may have a lower TTK but it’s great for fights where you don’t stop moving.
Hoestly the 45 is kinda like a smg but just with less dng but at the price of you could move faster since it a pistol
PEOPLE SLEEP ON THE P2020
Oh man Re-45 so slept on. Love my Re-45
I’m kind of glad that Crypto got his own back.
Does he play stretched?
I honestly think that the RE-45 is a good gun because, when paired with a high burst damage gun like a sniper or a shotgun it preforms very well as a sidearm. I got my 2.5k because of this trait, using the RE-45 not as a beam machine, but as a gun to hyper-reliably finish sentinel kills and duel in close quarter.
Its a side arm.
It should act like one.
I think it needs a bump,
But not in damage.
Its dmg is perfectly fine for its class of gun,
No it needs to beat smg's in holster un-holster times.
The reason you'd pick this over an smg, is that it's faster than reloading, extra dps on top of your primary weapon.
But currently? The smg's do a fine job in that role.
Sure the accuracy req on distance is significantly reduced for a running away target with the re vs. R9
But thats already the r9s weakness compared to other smg's
The re doesn't "beat it" but happens to be average in a category the r9 is weak in.
And i know they cant just straight up speed up the re's un-holster times a significant amount, as even instant isn't fast enough to bring it to superiority over an smg.
As the smg's are already incredibly fast at un-holstering.
The only thing i can think of,
Is remove the side-arm un-holster buff from a few patches ago,
And instead simply start the un-holster time earlier than when your other gun finish's holstering.
Give me a "just drop the primary gun, its on a gun strap" animation, and let me start firing the re sooner.
If I'm gonna sacrifice the versatility of having my off gun be a specialized gun,
In favor of winning standard conflicts more often,
GIVE THE GUN THE TOOLS TO ACTUALLY WIN THOSE CONFLICTS!
Else wtf is it even doing?
If it can't even do the job it was designed to do, why is it in the game??
Please don't just raise dmg.
Make the gun good at what the gun is designed to be good at.
Or take it out.
Its the low damage and the crappy recoil ( worst of any weapon ) that make this gun the worst, even worse than the 2020
I love the re, its my go to arenas round 1, you can get white attachments, a tactical, a nade and some cells all on the first round
Hey Merchant, I tried Rampart after watching your guide and man she’s really fun so now she’s my defense pick and my 3rd main behind Wraith/Valkyrie. Thank you.
the RE45 is definitely a must-have when landing, if you find it, grab it ASAP and hold onto it until you find an R301 or R99
Great iron sights, basically and smg, pistol ads move speed, there could be more but close range this gun slaps butt.
Usually the RE is a meh weapon for me. But when I’m loba idk why it just hits different with a wingman combo
Better than the poo2020
