Re: The Devotion

@mxiter Pick it up some time - it's extremely powerful. Low pick rate can be chalked up to a few things: Energy Ammo isn't as common, more players prefer Light ammo weapons, drop rate for LMG's is lower than other guns. 

Also my post is literally just called "The Devotion". Never mentioned the R-99. I think the R-99 is fine, balance wise.

Devotion (without turbo) is mostly good if people are caught mid close range in the open with zero cover.

But decent players rarely do that.

And muzzle flash makes ads impratical.

Or maybe you're playing on console where mobility is quite limited?

Do you all feel the devotion is best with hip fire? Still having some trouble with controlling the recoil, tips anyone? 🙂

I just came out of a game at lunch using the Havoc and it's so amazing when you are sliding towards an enemy within 15 feet. Personally, I'd say the Havoc is the stronger choice of the energy weapons.

@EA_BlueberryIt is better with hip fire imo not because of recoil but because it still takes time to charge up even with a turbo attached; so firing from the hip at close range removes some of the time it takes for you to aim all the way before firing.
