The R-99 Submachine Gun (SMG), or simply the R-99, is a close-quarter Submachine gun employed by combatants in the Apex Games, appeas a successor to its Frontier War ancestor, the R-97 Compact SMG.

The R-99 features the highest rate of fire in the game, exceeding even the Devotion's 900rpm (once spun up). If a player's aim is accurate, then downing a target will take little time.

The original R-97CN is intrinsically linked with orbital boarding: it was designed to provide heavy fire in confined, low - gravity spaces, essential for the Colonial Navy (the military arm of the Interstellar Colonial Authority) during boarding missions in high orbit. When former members of the Colonial Navy went freelance and ultimately joined the Mercenary Syndicate, the R-97CN was still so beloved that the organization commissioned a new model. Now the virtually indistinguishable R-99 is a common sight throughout the Outlands.
