Peacekeeper Fixes

The peacekeeper is an incredibly unrealistic/broken gun.

I believe the max damage needs to be reduced to 80 if not 70. The fact that you can 2 shot people is ridiculous and what makes it even more broken, is the fact that it has 6 bullets in mag. Thats enough to wipe a whole squad with 1 mag. WITH FULL HEALTH/PURPLE ARMOR! The only other gun with that capability is the spitfire with a lvl 3 extendo. While the rest of the guns in this game require a full mag to the face just for 1 guy. Counters to someone pushing you with a peacekeeper? back out of the game or hit lucky shots. Especially when the "W" key warrior has teammates. Since all other guns in this game need 1/2 clips to kill someone I believe if you cant get someone down with 4 bullets than that person does not deserve to keep spraying shots that do 110 dmg. Especially since the guns range is just like an ARs'. Many times ive hit someone with 110 from a significant range than move closer to the already panicking victim only to do 20 dmg. 

Overall Nerfs;

Max damage reduction from 110 -> 70/80

Bullet drop off damage/ consistency (I shouldn't do 110 dmg then move closer only to do a 95% less damage). No its not my aim before you ask that.

Magazine size should be reduced to 4

    The Peacekeeper is intended to be deadly at close range. You'll need to effectively hit a player in the head at very close range in repeated shots to take them down within a few rounds. Personally, the best way to counter a player using a Peacekeeper is to constantly duck up and down before they take their shot off. This way the round goes over your head and you're unpredictable movements make it harder for them land those shots. All while at the same time getting more distance away from them.

    Appreciate the feedback and good luck in the ring!

    why do i do more damage from 50+ meters than up close?

  • Wasn't aware it did 110 damage, thought it was 100 because that's the highest I've seen. Yeah the damage needs to be reduced to eliminate the possibility of instakilling a full hp player and increase the damage consistency at close range where this gun is meant to be used but fails the most, I've seen more players sniping from mid range with a choke than using it in close range

    @EA_Blueberry most idiotic logic I've ever heard...

    A shotgun  gets to do 150 dmg on a headshot because " shotguns do massive dmg close"

    Well * guess what?

    A rifle does massive dmg at any range because "it's a * rifle!!!!"

    So why doesn't the 301 1 tap for 150?

    Why doesn't any gun 1 tap for 150?  You shorty supporters always give the dumbest * reasons for a blatantly bot friendly op weapon

    Eva8 and PK pellet counts need to be swapped and bolt speeds for Eva8 should be reduced to compensate, probably drop the damage by 1 as well as it's actually a close range weapon due to pretty wide spread. I like the PK but it should be brought down just slightly, it also shouldn't be a sniper rifle with the precision choke. I don't really understand the idea behind the precision choke tbh because it already has a really tight spread and hits decent damage at ranges without the choke that a shotgun probably shouldn't.

  • I win fights against peacekeepers 90% of the time when I'm using autorifles. As long as your accuracy is decent you should have no problem. My advice, if you run into a PK try and put a little distance between you and him and aim for the head. The only fix the PK needs in my opinion is consistency in damage output. Sometimes I hit for 10 with a fully charged choke which makes no sense to me. The spread has been tightened yet somehow I still don't fully connect.
  • Peacekeeper needs a nerf period. It can shoot people across the map as well for way more that 50 damage if you have the choke too.

    1. Reduce the damage at least a little.

    2. Remove the choke addon, it makes the weapon totally OP.

    3. Maybe adjust tightness of spread, fire rate, reload rate and magazine.
