Volt SMG feels... Awfully useless?

Well, I guess the Volt SMG isn't as shocking as I thought it would be. It really doesn't hold up to it's statistics.

Okay, for real though. I have been testing the Volt SMG for a bit. But from what I've gathered so far, the Volt SMG does feel underwhelming and honestly doesn't hold up to it's high expectations. I knew it wouldn't be the best weapon, obviously. But for an SMG, it's performance is questionable.

I'm unsure how to improve this to be honest. Maybe even less recoil? More damage would just tear the system apart where TTK is about as long as my walk to the fridge.

  • the recoil is pretty easy to control if the recoil was nerfed it would become op. its not like you're hooting form far its an smg not an ar

  • What skill lobby are you playing in???  Time to kill is near instant with the volt.  This gun is broken.  I can wipe teams with this beast.  If you don't have a volt or devotion you will lose your gun fight.

  • @PogeNoob Neither of both. It's called an opinion, and I stopped using the Volt quickly after I found out that using the good old R-301 or Devotion does the same job almost better in terms of accuracy or DPS.

    Smh, curious why people instantly refer to the argument of trolling. Must be trolls themselves.

    @Peri_Longbow_plz I'm sorry but this gun is good so I don't know what you're doing with it. There are tons of people who want the Volt gone already 😂. It's a good replacement for the R-99 & I'm sure use of energy weapons has doubled because of it & the Devo returning to the pool.

    Sounds like you need more practice with it if you think it's underwhelming.

    Imo the volt is pretty good.  But I can respect your opinion.

    I believe the Devotion, though a bit more in line now, it still so much better (and possibly still OP) so the volt seems kinda meh by comparison.

  • This weapon is so good my first game using it I managed to wipe 2 squads and the last person in the last squad and one if i had anything else other than devo I probably would have lost.
