Apex devs have the wrong idea about the P2020
So it’s very clear that the apex developers want the P2020 to be the worst gun in the game — they’ve stated it numerous times on various discussions. And now, in season 15, they’ve even removed hamme...

There has to be a pecking order to weapons or else why have more than one in the game in the first place?
And to answer the question "why have any gun that's only an 'early-game' gun," that's easy. It's to have more useless crap diluting the loot pool and making worthwhile weapons and attachments even harder to find. Rewarding hardcore looters and the lucky. Not sure that's such a bad thing.

@reconzero I completely agree with you on the "hardcore looters and the lucky" lol. That is like 90% of this game. I drop in, find a p2020, enemy finds a PK, yeah whos gonna win? Its obvious.
But in terms of balancing the guns, I think they should be balanced based on class - IE: Pistols do great up close, have INSANE reload speed and handling speed. Have bullet damage drop off - no more sniping with a wingman. SMG: Great up close and close-mid range. AR: Decent up close, okay mid range, horrible long range (no more lasered by an R301 from across the map). Marksman: great mid range, great long range. Sniper: decent mid range, great long range.
Many times I get out gunned by guns that shouldn't even be capable of hitting me when I am using a sniper or marksman.
I think a great buff to the P2020 would be a 1s reload speed.

Agreed across the board, but this...
"Many times I get out gunned by guns that shouldn't even be capable of hitting me when I am using a sniper or marksman."
...I agree with a thousand times. I'm so sick of this happening. It's almost proof of aimbotting. There's no other explanation I can think of.- @reconzero
Yeah, either aim bot or simply recoil scripts. Freaking r99 melting me from 200m while i'm using a bocek/g7
