Volt Driver Guide brought to you by C drone.

Feels tingly

The volt driver is known to be best equipped with the character Kanden, Kanden is a slow but powerful hunter using his powerful weapon strength he can deal more then enough damage to finish his opponents quickly, what he lacks in speed he makes up for in weapon speed and weapon damage, when charged the volt driver can do a great deal of damage as well as adding distortion to the victims visor, This gun can be used is a wide range of ways, if used correctly and accurately this weapon can dominate a match, right so anyway apart from the introduction lets move on to some tips and tricks.

The false retreat

This tactic is not for killing purposes but more for safety and buying some time, this tactic involves great accuracy and planned shooting, try to aim for his head zone, this will cause a great damage rate if hit over and over, make sure to fire fast, you don't always need to be shooting at him though, try shooting around him to force him backwards, try to influence confusion and fear into him, i call it multi shooting, this can buy you some space to make some of your own tactics and decisions, if he doesn't take the hint and comes closer simply go to alt and unleash hell using the Stinglava, the homing stingers that come from the rear of the Stinglava home on on close opponents and deal a fair amount of damage, eventually the enemy will have no choice to either run, or simply die, once he has run (this is where you make your decision) you can choose to pursue him or leave to plan your next attack, From my experience anything bellow 40 hp i would go for health and plan an attack, however anything more and i would pursue after the enemy.

CQB

Now, when using the volt driver on tight levels you must remember that a charged shot can harm you of your to close, so be aware when using a charged shot, i suggest being at a medium range when using the charged shot, this makes it harder to dodge and easier to hit, if you are hit by your own charged shot, expect to have a distorted visor as well as less health, sometimes its better to use short bursts between a few missile shots, almost like boxing you his light with the volt driver then hit harder with a missile to the face.

Ranged

The volt driver is almost useless at long range, however not all is lost, when firing at range you should fire at where your enemy is going to be rather then where he currently is, this means your enemy will run into your shots doing half the work for you, this takes skill in accuracy a judgment of distance to range, the further the enemy the further in front you have to shoot, i don't advise using a charged shot unless your enemy has engaged combat with another hunter, in which case you can surprise him with a nasty yellow ball, however the charged shot is still very slow which makes things difficult and hard for a direct hit.
