@Warz0ne_Legends12 -13 damage with no recoil, would still be good.
Maybe, its not overpowered.
Maybe its just lack of shields.
Nawh, just needs more horizontal recoil.
Even a potato can laser with it at the moment.
Prowler vs volt are pound for pound the same damage output, the only difference is literally what you prefer.
Makes no sense to claim ones OP and not the other really lol. 😛
@hayhor I cba with both lol. I prefer the alternator but it just isn't viable when you run into one of these guns lol. ☹️
As you say, even a potato can laser with the Volt. The recoil is vastly more manageable than the prowler and the projectile speed is noticeably faster, so the real-world ranged performance is far superior.
However, this makes sense: Respawn explicitly created the Volt to sit between the SMGs and assault rifles as a balanced weapon that performs well anywhere from point-blank to long-range (with the right barrel and optic).
Increasing horizontal recoil would erode the very aspect which makes the Volt unique.
The real problem is that because the Volt out-damages the Prowler (208 vs 200), it's superior EVEN AT CLOSE RANGE, where the prowler is supposed to come into its own. In theory, the Prowler's higher magazine size (35 vs. 26) would make up for this, but because of the Volt's huge dps and the Season 6 shield reductions, it's so easy to one-clip with the Volt that the magazine size doesn't matter.
How do we solve this? Reduce the damage per shot. At 14 dmg instead of 16, the Volt would sit at 183 dps - almost exactly the same as the R-301. This way, the Prowler would have the edge in close quarters thanks to its higher DPS and more reliable one-clip potential, and the R-301 would nose ahead of the Volt at long range due to its better recoil pattern.
at least give some treble sound to volt. it completely silent when someone fires from behind. if you want to give silent weapons in-game then give the silent barrel. why need to mess with players ears.
