Shotguns in PUBG, and Blackout are High reward, High Risk, pubg has the double Barrel (2rounds) and the Pump action shotgun (5 rounds), and COD Blackout have Mog12(4rounds) and sg12(6 rounds) every shotgun have great damage but you need to get super close to someone to get a good shot in those games, nothing like PK on apex, PK its a High Reward Low Risk Weapon because even at 10-15meters range, PK hit 50-80 damage without a choke and there's almost no difference between ads and hip-fire, at this range that damage is half of the HP with a Blue shield, PK have 6 shots, non of the other shotguns have that many rounds and insane damage at mid range, another difference is that on pubg and Cod blackout get closer to someone is a risky move, in apex a pathfinder, wraith or an octane can use their ultimate moves and get you closer with almost no risk.
The PK need some kind of nerf:
.-Remove the pellet size increase buff, PK never needed that buff, i think this is the main reason why is stupidly OP right now, stills needed a nerf before that change.
.-Reduce the pellet damage by 3. body: 77, headshot-132, leg-55, increase dispersion by 40% on ads and 60% on hip fire, reduce magazine size to 4, reduce fire rate to 0.70 and remove the choke from PK.
This changes will increase the risk of using it, and will remove the mid-long range capabilities and the pk will still be a very good weapon at close range.
I'm open to hear arguments or changes to my proposal.

I expect most that want the PK removed are R99 users.

@Sir_NamedTThose stats are old, this is very old, i don't think that Pk should be removed but needs a nerf, an ammo reduction and keep the same damage. To increase risk and keep the high reward.
- 6 years ago@audiofilomx Yea that would work, maybe remove choke as well.
At the end of the day it's a lever action shotgun so it should be good at close range. Rof reduction could work as well to balance it with the eva 8. They shouldn't go to far with the nerfs as otherwise the R99 will be even more meta.
