The reason it doesn't render the shotgun useless is because the shotgun has a potentially faster kill time, and (especially with the capacity mod) offers an extended shower of lead, allowing you to take on crowds of enemies with relative confidence.
Well, having the potential for effectively null TTK does that, when you kill in one-shot, then there's no TTK anyway, I would agree if you're talking about simply taking out a crowd of minions, or if you happen to go into a choke point with a few pilots hanging around there, but if you're out of what feels like sneezing distance, the shotgun's effectiveness evaporates about as fast as it can 1-shot kill
We need you in Titanfall 2 or 3 when it comes out! Amazingly done guides! I literally will listen to your documentaries before bed, they're very well written.
Get in close, fill everything that moves with a metric fuck-ton of lead, get out unscathed, and look good doing it. That, that is why I love this gun...
@@leozord04 It's been 2 years since this comment was made and 8 since the video was posted but I might as well put my opinion here. I honestly doubt that it's chambered in the 5.8x42mm cartridge, instead I think it's a lot more likely that ahoy confused the chinese 5.8x21mm pistol cartridge for 5.8x42mm. I only found 2 pieces of evidence though: 1) the R-97 is a SMG and not a SBR; 2) there's a small excerpt on the R97 fandom wikipage, mentioning that the R97 shoots a projectile with a muzzle velocity of 800m/s but with only a muzzle energy of 510J, which could only happen with a 24-25 grain projectile, this means that it couldn't possibly be the 42mm one as that would be too overpowered for the lightweight bullet. For comparison the 5.7x28mm cartridge used by the P90 achieves ~775 m/s with a 27 grain bullet.
@@weirddudes5543 that would actually make a heckin' ton more sense for the weapon to use the shorter 5.8mm, rather than the standard intermediate that is used on the QBZ-95.
I am literally going to watch this twice, even though I don't have an XBOX. It's a shame how both the game and the views for these videos have dropped in popularity.
I really wish i had used this gun durring Titanfall 1, its my most used weapon now and i always feel comfortable holding the recoil down and taking aim at pilots i likely should just be leaving alone, yet still coming out on top. Seeing the weapon here, with the fire rate upgrade available to it, it sure wouldve been a lot of fun for me to spray my foes into the next realm
***** I said ''m8'', not ''mate''. Even if I did use the word ''mate'', who cares? It's an English word, so why would it be weird if someone from the Netherlands used it? That's like saying: ''Omg, an Indian used the word ''buddy''.
In airsoft this gun exists knows as TK-45 (Shotshow 2018 revealed). Titanfall in real life is slowly getting in airsoft and combat,well at least the tech and guns. The Titans well we'll have to wait a bit more time.
Excellent video as always, Stu. Going to share these videos with a friend of mine who is along with me on the road to Gen 10. Can't wait for the next one! :D
Would be cool if you would cover maps and the best routes to quickly get to certain points. Also I hope to see some Free Weapon DLC for Titanfall in the future. They already announced that everything except maps will be FREE. Can't wait for the new gamemodes, leaderboards, Titan Customization etc! I hope they will add more guns in the future for free though!
Every weapon from the first game is returning in some shape or form, sometimes in the newer version of the weapon like the R-201, the G2A5, the Hammond p2016, and I believe the Wingman's also technically a newer revision of the weapon
I would recommend some other stuff: I would use the cloak if I am in high traffic area I would use the quicker relaas kit because I find it to slow to reload This is just my opinion but after all this was a good video stu
Stu, I'm disappointed that I see a lot of stopping and aiming. Like you said, this is for a very mobile class; staying out in the open and stopping to aim will get you killed, and only plays to the R97's weaknesses. Here's what I do: -Run the R97 with scatterfire, run and gun, and stim. -The floor is lava. Wallrunning is the key to doing well with this gun. There is no way around that. -Wallrun and speed your way directly into engagements. The only thing that can beat this in close range is a shotty, and if you are fast enough you won't get hit. -Don't ADS. It takes time and relies on a precision the R97 doesn't have. The hipfire is phenomenal, and cuts down enemies nearly instantly. Basically, don't stay on the ground or ADS like I see you doing in the video. I used to play it that way, and it was awful.
I wouldn't doubt it if they actually make a map where the floor actually lethal, and titans are the only ones who wont get hurt... Sounds crazy right???
Hm. That's a pretty good build. I might try it one day. Although, stopping and ADS isn't that big of a problem be asud this thing has a very high rate of fire so by the time the enemies see the dot on the map, you'll be long gone. And because it has a high rate of fire, this makes it perfect for the suppressor.
It's all opinion, but I prefer the fast gameplay of titanfall with the parkour, with cod you get too many campers, and it gets pretty boring. The next cod though may be completely different to past games, but it looks a bit like titanfall from the trailers.
Xander993 I pumped a lot time in Titanfall. And it's so much fun. Campers just instanly get kicked in their head and die and the fast pace of the game needs a good portion of skill and aiming to keep up with it. That said, I played it only on PC, because I can't stand the low framerates and a Mouse + Keyboard is a huge benefit by fast engagements. What I noticed from all the XB1 footage is, that pilots more likely stay on the ground, while PC pilots parkour a lot more. In the end: Drop a Titan, kill shit. Loadsafun.
So I still play some CoD on my last gen box. When I play Titanfall on my Xbone is feels sluggish side to side. Is that just the difference in the games or do you guys think my Xbone sticks are having an issue? Great job Stu, keep it up!
I'm sorry for making my statement almost unreadable.i never meant to make it unreadable.i was just congratulating xboxahoy for the video and that titanfall 2 will remain exclusive.
Mmm~m. Great voice, and I do love the look and feel of this review. One thing I'd like to see is a look at the amped stats too, but don't care, it's great.
Hey Stu, just so you know, not sure what's going on but your last two weapon guides (this one and the smart pistol) do not work in RUclips for me; they simply don't load. I've had to watch them on other sites, and they seem to work there. I have had no problems with any other RUclips videos, it's only your channel. Just thought I'd point it out to you in case something was wrong. I use Google Chrome btw.
Stu, why have you changed the tone of your scripts for the Titanfall Weapon Guides? It seems as if in the first couple you were writing from a more "instructor to pilot" voice and in this one it is more straight forward as a weapon overview? Was this a conscious decision?
Great video xboxahoy and I'm glad that titanfall 2 is going to remain a exclusive to xbox and pc and if it ever went multi platform everyone would have to wait for years for that which isn't going to happen titanfall is going to remain xbox and pc exclusive.
Whats funny is that he says that it chambers a rifle round, but the casings ejected are clearly some sort of a pistol caliber... Lol its all good though..
One of the key traits that a rifle needs to be considered an "Assault Rifle", is its barrel length... Just because it fires an intermediate cartridge, it doesn't necessarily make it an assault rifle... The word you're looking for here is PDW... He even said it... Its meant for secondary combat roles that don't have space to maneuver a full rifle. ( Like tank crews. )
I'm gonna assume you've never played Titanfall. The gun is renamed and is from Titan Fall, apex legends takes place in the TitanFall world somewhat in the future
I love Titanfall 1, meh with Titanfall 2, but Apex is just shit to me. R-97 will always be the top contender of the R-Series SMGs. R-97-CN is like a bloody laser, horrible CQB SMG. Don't confuse the gun types kid.
So the Spitfire, Longbow, Eva 8, R 101c(now the R301), hemlok Kraber, nd this gun R97 (now the R99) all the guns are either slightly modified or reskined TF 1 and 2 weapons. Hence placement in the world nd with advanced movement. The game is made by Respawn creators of titanfall nd legally can do what they have for apex legends
I freaking love this weapon guides, the style, structure and vocabulary used in here made them look SO professional :D
you can cut out the "look", they ARE professional ;)
you forgot his voice :)

It is.

Great video as always Stu, great way to end my day! Looking forward to Spitfire!
my god this guy... keeps getting better and better! i dont give two shits about titanfall but i cant help watching his work, its amazing!

Man I love coming back to these vids, and I cant even play the game *chuckles*
My favorite gun in the game, hope it comes back in the second game.
I hope it comes back too, but i think its been replaced by the Twin Barreled SMG, the Alternator
The gun is returning in Titanfall 2! I saw it in a small part of the campaign footage :)
+MuscledRMH Oh yeah, i saw that too, too bad it isnt in the tech test
I hope every gun from tf1 is back in tf2
Every weapon from the first game is returning in some shape or form, sometimes in the newer version of the weapon like the R-201, the G2A5, the Hammond p2016, and I believe the Wingman's also technically a newer revision of the weapon
I love how amazingly proffesional they make these videos look
I love this weapon with Scatterfire. But even with this attachment or extended mags, you can never have enough Dakka.
The thing reminds me of a Vector CRB.
I agree with you in terms of appearance but performance and spec wise hell no .45 ACP is smaller then 5.8x42mm.
Yeah, the performance is far different from a normal Vector CRB.
What do you mean normal? This weapon has almost nothing to do with the KRISS Vector
I meant in relation to the caliber, barrel length, compensation systems, ect.
It just looks like it, that's all i'm trying to say
1:00 that is an actual round that was developed and is used by China in their QBZ 95 assault rifle and a few other weapons
Imagine he makes a comeback and does the apex weapons
Realistically he can't because Apex is a game in active development withc constant balance changes
nice vid, do you think you'll be playing Titanfall much after this series?
Dat pun!
Nice video, Mr. Ahoy! Very well done indeed!
i was just browsing random titanfall videos, and i found this posted 5 min ago.
WOW....YOU USED THE SAME PUN LIKE YOU DID IN YOUR SCORPION EVO WEAPON GUIDE!!!!
Stu, will you be covering the a actual titans as well? Or are you strictly doing weapons?
I would recommend some other stuff: I would use the cloak if I am in high traffic area
I would use the quicker relaas kit because I find it to slow to reload
This is just my opinion but after all this was a good video stu

Its good to know. Also AW started developing 3 years ago, so they didn't copy TitanFall.
hey stu, I have noticed you use the auto titan feature alot. Is this because your focused on getting weapon clips or is that your general play style?
So I still play some CoD on my last gen box. When I play Titanfall on my Xbone is feels sluggish side to side. Is that just the difference in the games or do you guys think my Xbone sticks are having an issue?

When will u do Anti titan weapons?
considering the higher pilot health why limit the extended clip to 25 instead of 50% seems kind of lame
Spitfire LMG next please!
what would the real life gun be?
Kenny Hobson Likely a Vector SMG that's chambered in .45
But the 5.8x42mm is a Chinese cartridge used for an assault rifle (QBZ-95, respectively) which is interesting.
Mp5
A very short-ranged MG42 with Scatterfire.
Whats funny is that he says that it chambers a rifle round, but the casings ejected are clearly some sort of a pistol caliber... Lol its all good though..

Where does he get the ammo info?
google
***** I mean, how the hell can he know the R97 shoots chinese rounds? There's absolutely no mention of it anywhere.
The strategy guide has all that info
MartoLun symthic? and DPB is a chinese round
Come back ahoy
By modern standards this would be an assault rifle. I guess this is like how the assault rifle in halo would be considered a battle rifle.
