Bring Back the PK
Bring back the PK! The skill ceiling for the PK was much higher than that of the Mastiff. The mastiff is less powerful, yes, but it's a lot easier for just anybody to use and consistently land shots....
I feel your pain....

@Spectralwolf101 Sorry for you mate, but PK wasn't a skilled weapon, never was, is the most easy gun to use, the bullet dispersion is almost non existant, and doesn't have differences between ads and hipfire, you can just miss 3 shots and still have another two to wipe a guy with full purple armor, pk was all about just aim calmly and lands an insane 130+ shot.
eva8 with double tap is better than the mastiff imo, but ya - I called the mastiff being the noob-friendly PK as soon as I picked it up. More forgiving, wider spread, and it's easy to smack someone for an easy 65damage from 10m which makes it a force to be reckoned with.
I think the mastiff is actually really well balanced for a gun in that you can still out DPS it with many other guns - but it provides sustained DPS through a firefight and perhaps the best thing about it, is you can reload it partially, fire, and not lose your reload.
The PK will be missed, but I think it's good to shake up the meta once in a while. Having every single game come down to either a PK or r99 in the close-range slot gets a bit stale. Of course now, it's r99/mastiff (and a few renegade re45 users) but at least it's a change.
