Here's some actual data shared by a Dev that might change the way some of you perceive the VOLT as the almighty weapon that broke Apex I'm uninstalling this game is dead cause the devs don't listen you're losing a player and now I'm reading this and thinking wow that was one awesome run on sentence.
It's slower than the R99 and the Prowler, and on par with the flatline/R301 for 200 total health. The volt kills <100 shields targets faster than ARs and is close to other SMGs, but 1.0s TTK for 200 health is only a moderate TTK for an SMG. We are still gathering data and looking at feedback from sources of all sorts of skill levels, but we will adjust quickly if needed! There's already a stopgap nerf for the Devotion coming out ASAP!
