Nerf Peacekeeper
This is the one weapon that takes no skill to use. I hate dropping and gunning someone down with damage just for them to one shot me with the freaking peacekeeper. Just nerf it already.

Oh please. You people want everything nerfed. Longbow is OP, energy weapons are OP, R-99 is OP, peacekeeper is OP... try picking up those weapons yourself and see how you do. I guarantee you that 1) it requires skill like everything else and 2) you won't be oneshotting except on very rare moments.
The issue with the peacekeeper isn't that it's constantly OP. The MASSIVE issue with the peacekeeper is that in the hands of a good player it can be good, in the hands of a rubbish player - its just as good. It drags the skill floor up so much that it's basically a coin toss as to whether you get 1shot by someone jumping around and hipfire spamming fortnight style or you drill them down.
From previous conversations I gather this might be different on PC where there isn't aim assist : but on console - PK is just murderous in anyone's hands. Skillwise a good player can go up against a bad player and, let's say, the chances of victory stand at 80/20 in favour of the good player with most weapons and equal armor/disadvantage.
Introduce a peacekeeper into the hands of the crap player and its basically 50/50 just because of what the PK can do. A lot of players have learned that their chances are greatly improved over any other weapon if they grab their pogo stick and hop around spamming hipfired peacekeeper shots. If they did the same with any other weapon it wouldn't work : that's my overwhelming issue with the PK.
