If the majority is complaining about the devotion, the havoc when devotion is locked, and now the volt, the solution is simple. Its right in front of our faces. Make the Energy weapons deal more shield damage and less body damage. Or visa versa? It can be reasoned and rationalized either direction; for both mechanics and lore.
Make energy guns deal 1 or so more damage to shields, and 2 or so less damage to bodies. Or the visa versa.

Devotion was "nerfed"? Reverting it back to its ground stats after removing it from the care package is not "nerfing" it.
People have always complained about the Havoc and the R99. So yes people complaining all season is technically correct, but not in the phrasing. Because they've complained about these two all season, every season.
R99 was put into a package because it is over powered. So idk whether to call "the volt is a great smg makes up for the r99" over-sighted, misinformed, or toxic. The R99 didn't need a replacement. The volt was put in because apex needed a new gun, both the energy and smg selection needed another choice. Not to replace the R99.
Judging your response as a whole, it seems you missed my entire point, and turned it into something totally different. You seem to be looking at the smg's and snipers, and care package guns.
I'm looking at energy guns. Specifically energy guns. From a mechanical, practical, and balancing standpoint. Why energy? That is what most of the gun complaints are about, whether its the devotion, havoc, or volt. Yes other guns get complaints too (not that i've ever heard one about the CR in recent seasons), but not at the same frequency as the energy guns. Therefore the energy guns take priority.
