The R-301 deals more damage per bullet.

• Damage 13 → 14
• Headshot damage: 18

TipThe R-301's headshot figure sits close to a third above its body damage, so when you have a beat to place shots, pull up onto the head. In a panic spray the chest is still the safer hold.

The R-301 has a bigger magazine at every level, so it can fire longer before reloading.

Magazine size changes: Base 18 → 21

• Magazine size changes
• Base 18 → 21
• White 20 → 23
• Blue 28: (was 25)
• Purple/Gold 28 → 31

The R-301 deals less damage per bullet.

Damage 14 → 13

TipOne point a shot is not a loadout call: it takes a long burst fully on target before the cut costs you a single extra bullet. Keep the gun and keep your usual engagement range.

The Anvil Receiver for the R-301 and Flatline is back on the floor and in crafting bundles.
