Re: What is the difference between the Alternator SMG, R-99 SMG and Volt SMG?
Right so...
R-99
- Weapon Type: SMG
- Ammo: Light
- Firing Modes: Full-Auto
- Attachment Slots: Barrel, Mag, Optic, Stock
- Mag Size: 20
- With Extended Mags: 22/24/27
- Damage (Body/Head/Leg): 11/17/9
- RPM: 1,080
- Body DPS: 198
The R-99 a melter at close range when you hit your shots, its probably the hardest out of all three guns to control. I would always recommend a level 2 or above extended mag on this gun.
Volt
- Weapon Type: SMG
- Ammo: Energy
- Firing Modes: Full-Auto
- Attachment Slots: Barrel, Mag, Optic, Stock
- Mag Size: 19
- With Extended Mags: 21/23/26
- Damage (Body/Head/Leg): 16/24/13
- RPM: 783
- Body DPS: 208
The Volt is my favourite SMG at the moment due to the Prowler being in the care package. You lose fire rate with it compared to the R-99 but you gain precision!
Alternator (My information might be out of date)
- Weapon Type: SMG
- Ammo: Light
- Firing Modes: Full-Auto
- Attachment Slots: Barrel, Mag, Optic, Stock
- Mag Size: 19
- With Extended Mags: 22/25/27
- Damage (Body/Head/Leg): 15/23/12
- RPM: 640
- Body DPS: 160
In my opinion, this is the worse out of all three of the guns you have mentioned. It has had a buff in S8 which is why I think my data might be out of date. It's a decent gun for the start of a game though.
It's all down to personal opinion really, out of the three I would rank them...
- Volt
- R-99
- Alternator
But other people would argue that the R-99 is better, I prefer the Volt because I can control it better at range and I think its better at range. You can hip fire any of the three, the R-99 mag drains very quickly though so you'd need to be accurate.
I hope this helps!
