301 and volt are not worth crafting
is just me or both guns are usless in this green meta 301 a little better then volt but both guns feel like shooting from bb gun waste of materials to craft them.

i'll never understand why they overbuffed r99 and ultranerfed 301.
@WTF_Huitzo
I don't know about the R99, but I feel like a vast number of players were very bored of the R-301 being "the" meta gun for, like, four years. Kinda like Gibby in ladder/comp play. Variety of meta is good.
I also think that the Volt, for example, is a lot stronger than it's currently sometimes credited as. I think there's a lot of players who don't really practice outside of the game, so they lose their touch with weapons that they are less likely to obtain off drop. I can't disagree that the 301 is not feeling very powerful ATM, though.
Is there anyone who can roughly describe the stat differences between the pre-CP Volt, CP Volt, and post-CP Volt? I'm interested to see how the current iteration compares with the pre-CP version. The Volt was generally pretty highly estimated among SMGs before it went into the care package. But I'm feeling a bit too lazy to do a bunch of googling in order to see, NGL!
Nothing's really worth crafting. Maybe two bats, but yeah... after they ruined zone timers some seasons back, there's just no time to craft.

I've found it's OK when you can land on a crafter with minimal competition around, if there's a weapon you really like in the crafting rotation. The two slots of ammo are nice, and sometimes the appropriate mag and/or sight is also in the crafter. A favorite weapon plus two stacks of ammo for 30 mats is a good deal. Heck, the Hammerpoint RE-45 was well worth it even just to get the hopup for the P2020 or Mozam.But neither of these in the current rotation is compelling enough to send me crafting just for them.
- @pandareno1999 The only change when it came out of the pack was reduced damage. 17 to 15. The volt is still quite viable. I'd use it off the floor but I'm not going to craft one. Not with the lstar being available.

There's a good example right there. If they put the LStar in the crafter, I'd land on one every game!
