Cx9 mythic is a waste of money.
I can't even begin to talk about how much it hurts me to say this, but this fucking gun is so shit now bro.
This was the first ever skin that I bought. I remember actually putting myself in debt just to get it (I was like 17 and dumb at the time), but in my mind it was worth it. I already loved the gun because of its fast fire rate and high mobility, so getting this skin was almost a no brainer. I admired its colours, I loved its design, I loved its kill effects, and I ADORE how much it talks 😭❤️🩹.
At the time I got the skin and almost exclusively used the gun, it was among the best (or even the best) agressive cqc weapons in the game, without even having to use its burst magazine. It was actually WORTH using because of how good it was; it's not like anybody was gonna use the fennec, or MSMC over the cx9 anyway. There was the switchblade, but people STILL preferred the cx9.
The cx9 wasn't perfect though. It has high hit flinch, meaning your crosshair gets sent to the moon in 2 shots if you're going up against lmg's, or AR's with high bullet impact attachments (drh w/ otm mag, hvk w/large caliber mag, icr w/ macro ifs mag, etc). You can counter this with toughness, but it was (and is) a necessity when using this gun, so your options for green perks are severely limited if you actually want a decent chance at winning ≈50% of your gunfights. This was my biggest gripe with the gun back then, and still is now.
Another flaw it bears is the fact that its doesn't have hitscan mechanics, meaning that your bullets take time to hit your target, rather than hitting them instantly (which MANY other guns are capable of doing). Back then it wasn't as impactul, because there weren't many guns that boasted a high fire rate and ttk, but in today's meta that places emphasis on speed, this flaw is much more difficult to ignore. The cx9 feels sluggish in comparison to other agressive cqc guns like the vmp, bal27, switchblade, and static, in part because these guns have hitscan (excluding the bal, which has higher bullet speed and better range that counteract not having hitscan anyway).
The guns I'm mentioning are only the new agressive cqc guns, which were built for close range fights. When we include (relatively) newer guns like the xm4, uss9, so14( pre semi auto nerf), t63, fss, iso hemlock, and other guns that:
i). Perform well at range
ii). Are/were incredibly popular picks
We see that the cx9 isn't even worth using. It's most visble within its first damage phase. Even then, other cqc guns outlcass it and can do MUCH more. In this day and age where at least 60% the enemy in every game is using the static, bal, or iso, the cx9 genuinely doesn't even stand a chance 😭. It's genuinely just not worth using. Honestly I don't even think the bullet speed increase is gonna be enough to save this gun either
‼️ Tldr: cx9 gets outclassed by ≈70% of the guns that came out after it, meaning it's kinda ass now negl 🤷♂️
