The Alternator should be the UMP-45 of Apex.

Yeah the alternator is definitely in a weird place. 

I feel like the problem with it is that it has been designed to sit between the prowler and r99 in terms of power.

Any higher on the damage and it basically becomes a prowler, any higher on the firerate and it becomes a r99.

For me personally i feel like giving it a hop up was the right direction when disruptors was implemented...however we saw that brought a whole new wave of problems.

Perhaps a unique more balanced hop up would be an alternative method of raising this weapons viability?  Or maybe just a 1.20× crit multiplier, making it more rewarding for the accurate user.

1.8x seems a bit excessive with 16 damage per round, as that's nearly 29 damage per shot.

Your proposed stats actually outpower a r301. x.x

@MandatoryIDtag
Im just throwing out ideas.
but I think a small buff to damage or spread could make the Alternator viable.

Right now it feels good but like its missing something.
Maybe a small damage buff, spread buff, or maybe headshot multiplier would do it. Its close to being good, but need that special something.

-And that specail something is not disruptor rounds.- 😉

@hhnbbfggty66  Yeah it's definitely missing something! Also 100% no to disruptors lmao they were a hot mess. I meant a different hop up though, something to give the weapon a unique yet viable feel...i'm just not sure what that would be. 😛

Ricochet rounds could be fun? Bank shots for days. :3 

@hhnbbfggty66  Sure would be fun to use, i can just picture the mass swarm of nerf rants we'd see though. XD

The smg meta needs a shake up.
