Sixty5 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Like I always say, Volt is very good as a sniper frame. Shock for easy headshots, since it staggers everything Speed to catch up to team Shield to amp up damage Overload for when lots of things need to die.

Excitonex Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Volt's Shield no longer allows bullets to ignore armor. Even though his shield works when you're not host I have unequipped it again because the armor ignore was really the only reason to use it, or Volt for that matter.

BlackbirdSR71C Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 My only problem with the shield is: - It's hard to place: It's small and a little low. Maybe increase size a little with rank and put it a little big higher above the ground? - Could be more curved - reason: Protecting cryopods. I'm not expecting it to just replace snow globe, but if it was a little rounder it would protect better from the side as well. - Hard to see through. The damage bonus is really nice but often I can't hit enemies reliably when shooting through it because I can't see a damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azraill Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 - Hard to see through. The damage bonus is really nice but often I can't hit enemies reliably when shooting through it because I can't see a damn thing. Disable DOF/Motion blur. With it enabled the shield is water-based oddly enough and you won't be able to see anything but constant blur searching more for movement than even color. Disable that and it becomes clear, as stupid as that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIFE_CRIME Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Any idea if the above effects apply to the ignis, could potentially make it the highest dps gun in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eversor Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Im pretty sure that my Seer turns into hitscan with the shield up. If not, well, i can tell you the bullets travel near instantly. Edited August 5, 2013 by Eversor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexinator Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 So does this actually make the Seer viable or is it still a trophy weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YTakuyaY Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Wasn't there a bug that prevent any bullet/projectile from going through the electric shield, or did that got fixed already? At that time people just stop using Volt altogether. If that's been fixed, then I'd be interested again. Edited August 5, 2013 by YTakuyaY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibet Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The Ignis does gain the infinite range and damage conversion bonus from electric shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engelheim Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) The Ignis does gain the infinite range and damage conversion bonus from electric shield.Just tested and yes, Ignis does turn into hit-scan with infinite range. However it will not get an armor ignore conversion but will get an electric bonus.Edited the first post for easier reading.
