Re: How many more topics do we need to create to NERF OR REMOVE THE SHOTGUNS?

Maybe they need to stop dicking around making new characters and fix their *. The EVA-8 outguns than too many other guns. I wish that was the only thing but this game is so problematic no wonder it’s still free. Tbh I’d be embarrassed.

  • @jmhdog23 literally no reason to NOT pick it up. i 150 a player in 3 hits with it. Its 100% broken and every player has one in ranked, especially high plat and diamond+. It shoots too fast and does too much damage even at mid to long range
  • No reason to have 8 bullets in the mag. No reason for it to shoot this fast. Shotguns shouldnt have a shotgun bolt. PK and Mastiff need 4 shots before you have to reload. Eva 8 needs 5. Nerfs these guns already. Thats all you see in ranked and THEYRE EVERYWHERE

  • Honestly right now where apex stands, the eva 8 shotgun is the most op gun in the game and is ridiculous to go against. It is unforgiving and it almost feels like you have to use it in order to fight back against an entire squad that is running eva 8 with purple bolts that only complements the ridiculous damage that it has due to its recent buff. This is official Shotgun legends.

  • we went from a shotgun meta that can 2 tap people to "a whole squad holding W and Mouse 1 simultaneously into each other face"

    such a fun game design philosophy

  • This has been going on since they took out the damn mastiff from cp... Prowler got the cp nerf for far less, but no, this time respawn just don't give a damn, because close combat is fun and cool. I call this bs...

  • yes, max 99 damage in one shot you can basicly wipe a full squad with one mag pk and mastiff are the same. just stupid how they * up the balancing with every new patch its like season 0 all over again (only r99, wingman and shotguns)

    What is with devs? Why are they leaning towards  shotguns that much?

    If you read the patch notes, it's a joke regarding shotguns.

    What does that even mean: "Significantly reduced bolt fire-rate scaling for each rarity tier" ???

    Every other nerf or buff but this damn weapon.. WHY?

    "The EVA-8’s speed makes it a forgiving and formidable shotgun to run. It’s pulled ahead of the pack and has been seen as the clear choice for many leaving the Peacekeeper, Mastiff, and Mozambique in the dust. This change should help even the playing field between the shotguns."

    What about shotguns and  other weapons? Anyone have a valid explanation for that? Since devs just  don't talk about  it. "EVA-8 is strong" well you don't say tat, mister live balancer.... This game is becoming a joke...

  • ...Again, in ranked, this was a joke on nerfing this eva-8, still every team uses them, this game becoming literally unplayable
