Can we nerf the Peacekeeper finally?
This gun is stronger than the Mastiff, and the Mastiff is a gold weapon - Developers, how to you rationalize that? Here's a few videos of me in the firing range doing one shot with the PK then Masti...

@S8N_Spawn No, I suggested 2 shots and 90- 100 damage CONSISTENTLY. Consistent damage would still make it the second strongest shotty in the game. Not to mention, I've used the Sentinel at close range and it only does 69 damage, but that basically takes away their shields and then I switch over to an SMG or AR and finish them off, and you can't fire the sentinel even half as fast as the PK, plus you actually have to aim the sentinel (unlike the PK, it actually take some skill to use). At the moment, the PK is a no-skill, multi-kill weapon!
@Robo_The_Man-Bot You're comparing apples to oranges, you can't compare the sentinel to the pk, they serve entirely different purposes.
- @S8N_Spawn But I just did... Plus, once you are able to use the Sentinel just as effectively at close range (like I am), then you can compare the two! Plus, I love comparing apples and oranges, they're both round, they're both spheres, they're both circular, they're both globe-shaped, they're both orbs, they're both balls, they're both fruit-donut-holes, they're both... Yeah, I'm all out of possible synonyms for round...
Also, if you buy your very own "Precision choke" the PK will play the role of sniper and shotgun! So order one today and destroy enemies with a shotgun that doubles as a sniper! Gosh! Now that's power!
I get it, I get it! I still can't compare the two! The sentinel doesn't have a precision choke! Well, that's 'cause it doesn't need one, it's a single shot, gosh-dang it! What it needs to be on par with a shotgun that is just as effective at close, mid, and long-range as the sentinel (more effective at close and mid-range than the sentinel) is a decision choke! That is, a de-precision choke! I'm just saying, when the PK works at all ranges just as well as a sniper, then you can compare it to any gun in the game because, by that point, the PK doesn't have a role. I kinda get what you're saying, but the "you can't compare the two" argument doesn't really work in video games because gamers will always find a way to make weapons work outside their intended roles (e.g. quickscoping).- @Robo_The_Man-Bot So you're hitting full pk shots at 200+ meters with a 2x scope? And i hate it when my sentinel consistently gets 8 damage.
Look, if someone got good enough to get 100+ damage from a pk at ANY range, that's skill, not an OP weapon. I can guarantee you nobody is landing full damage pk shots consistently.
And yes, 70-80 damage 2 shot before reload pk would be weaker than a base bique, hopped up bique would blow it out the water. Hell, the p2020 would be the only weaket weapon in the game against it.- @S8N_Spawn I can hit a fully charged PK headshot at 100+ meters, and some of it is skill, but if you haven't noticed, the PK is super forgiving when it comes to headshots! I mean, they basically land themselves! Also, you're purposely ignoring the arguments I made yesterday...
Also, if you think that a 2 shot PK that does 70-80 dmg (still not what I recommended) is weaker than a Bique, than you're clearly only using the PK because you're not skilled enough to use any other weapon. I mean, a 2 shot, 70-80 consistent dmg PK is still super powerul, but it would also take skill! Something the PK is sorely lacking at the moment! There's no skill involved when using the PK, like I said, it's a no skill, multi-kill weapon! Also, are you saying that people are consistently landing full damage Sentinel headshots at 100+ meters? I mean, I haven't had a single person hit me for 100+ damage with the sentinel at 100- 200 meters! And the sentinel's a gun that takes skill to use at all ranges! Your comparison isn't very good. Seriously, except that the PK is a no-skill weapon that is in dire need of a huge nerf! As much as you want to argue that reducing it's damage from 116 at 200+ meters to 103 at 200+ meters is a decent nerf, it's still the most broken weapon in the game, and no amount of telling people that it only needs a slight damage reduction is gonna change that (plus, damage reduction nerfs are lame, and any uncreative person could come up with something like that). That was a closing statement, meaning I am done with this conversation! So, let's just agree to disagree! 🙂
