Return the Devotion and the Turbocharger

Devotion should stay a Care Package Weapon. I love the new changes and I agree with the developers on this. Devotion was the strongest weapon in the game once fully kitted.

The current Devotion does 918 damage [17 times 54 = 918 damage].

Turbo Charger being removed from the game makes the Havoc a better weapon. The Havoc was buffed with less horizontal recoil since the Turbo Charger was removed. This means the Havoc's recoil is much easier to control that previous Seasons.

@Leo_the_Lion25 Yet another person who did not play the devotion in the past, but thinks it's the strongest weapon.

If it was the strongest weapon - why was not everyone playing with it? Why didn't most of the good players use it? Why handicap yourselves by playing any other weapon?

Because this is all nonsense. It was not.

@Nino_Z You assumed I never ran a devo? It was the strongest weapon in the game. I was that type of player that would shoot a whole clip into a knockdown shield.

Devo destroys Purple and Gold knockdown shields and will then kill the person in one single clip. That over 850 damage with reloading.

The current devo like I said does 918 damage in one single clip.

Strongest weapon in the game.

Spitfire is not the strongest despite it doing 990 damage without reloading. This is because a fully kitted devo shoots faster than a fully kitted spitfire.

I know my weapons and meta.

@Nino_Z It was indeed very strong, although you would need all of the attachments to really get that op level of damage. I think the reason you didn’t see many pros using this was because they used weapons that did more damage per shot, like the wingman and pk. Also because it was a pain to gather all of its attachments.

@Sir_Named I dropped at fire station with something like six other squads during season 3 (just before S4) and immediately found a Devotion (nothing but a stock) and just sat on the platform that I'd dropped on and walked away with 7 kills (I didn't win that game, tho), my squad and I wiped every other squad there (w/ help from the other squads that didn't know what was happening)! It was easy to laser people with the Devo. I think the only reason pros didn't use it was because energy ammo is soooo difficult to find, and you rarely have enough.
