What is your favorite weapon S14 and why is it the Volt?

Title is a bit of a joke obviously, but I am interested in seeing what people are particularly liking right now in this meta. I'm trying really hard to break out of my comfort zone, but I keep crutching on AR/SMG or AR/PK. I'll run an L-star for half the game or more, in order to swap to a volt when I get one. I really need to get more focused on improving my poke performance. I play with guys who are good at poke, so I'm kind of centent to just sort of crouch around until it's time to make a move. But I'd also like the increase in avg. dmg and higher contribution level that I'd get by taking a G7 or whatever more frequently.

301 or Flatline + Volt or CAR seem to be my most common choices. If my shot is feeling really good, I might even go Volt + CAR.

@pandareno1999 Flatty or hemlock with a volt or pk, usually a pk as I've been playing Maggie or path. It is pretty fun to get some weak and grapple onto their hiding spot with a pk.

PK
30-30
Flatline
Nothing wrong with the Volt though. I personally find getting all the mods for an smg to be a hassle and don’t like laser sites over barrel mods but the Volt is solid

@pandareno1999 I had managed to go a couple weeks but I now find myself crafting the Devo often, especially if I find turbo on the ground lol. Been picking up the Volt & Prowler with the R99 a close 3rd. I still miss Select fire tho.

My combo right now is SMG/LMG due to the weekly challenges I'm doing.

@pandareno1999
CAR + G-7 or Hem or Flatty or Spitfire.
You can poke with the others and the CAR is for clean-up and CQC.

Honestly at the moment this is feeling like one of the most balanced metas in a long time, everything is feeling pretty good right now.
Favourite I would say is maybe CAR - EVA-8 or PK in a CQ build & Charge Rifle - Alternator or Volt for a Long range Load-out.

@pandareno1999I keep getting AR damage/knock challenges, so I keep running 301/Flatline combo for that. When I am just playing to play though, I've actually been forcing myself to start "gitn gud" with the Wingman, Lol! As long as I can get a 1x hcog on it, I have actually been doing pretty well with it. The hipfire (especially crouched) up close is pretty INSANE.

Favorite weapon right now would have to be the Scout though. I'm so happy it's FINALLY back on the floor!! I use the Volt a lot in Arenas, when I'm working on challenges in there. Still love the gun, it's just that I have my beloved Scout back
@Cabowse I feel like I would have to agree, about the balance. I definitely have my preferred weapons, but I can pick up most weapons right now, and do pretty well. Heck, I even went off with a 3030 the other day, and I don't even like that thing!

@Cabowse I agree 100%. I think the weapon meta is in a really cool spot right now.

Forgot, yeah, floor G7 is good again. I'd still rather have a 30-30 but marksmanship > snipers (and the Wingman is NOT a sniper weapon, no matter what Respawn wants me to think). I mean, I like the Longbow as the only viable sniper besides Kraber, yet both 30-30 and G7 are far better than it.
