dev keep doing nothing that weapon is jsut the top cancer weapon in the game it hit harder than a headshot with a sentinnel find the issue.... when you see competitive game its full pk r99
No weapon should be able to almost one shot (except kraber of course )with almost no risk ( too many ammo maybe reduce it to 2 ? )
Its really annoying to drop only to be 1v3 by a wraith or anyone else with simply a pk
Look, even in real world some weapons are better than others, and they are not the same.
Previous nerfs already changed PK enough, you all talk about good shots, but seriously haven’t you ever experienced 8, 11 or 19 damage with PK before? It’s only a good weapon for very close range fight, don’t stick too close to enemies with PK and you can fight them back
Remove the PK completely and problem solved. Such a petty gun. The biggest bot can use it with no repercussions. You barely have to aim. The consistency is almost worse for people that have decent aim. Its like you have to drop a mental tier to use it.
Although I would rather see crossplay be released and aim assist removed before anything with the PK just my opinion.
@Sir_NamedOne of the previous updates (I think it was main season 4 update, but I'm not 100% sure) nerfed PK by increasing it's shot spread to force players to have to get closer to their enemies if they want to be still able to inflict 100+ points of damage with the weapon (that's why you see its famous 110 rarely and why you see 8-22s more).
They did it in two updates I guess, one was for PK itself and one was for its hop-up (the spread on the final Precision Choke level was increased so to reduce the range at which players can do damage with a fully charged shot using the Hop-Up)
The solution is easy, Respawn needs a different balance between console and PC, PK is a big problem on PC, people have better and faster aim on pc, most high level players have good PCs and run the game between 144 and 240fps and that helps A LOT with consistency on any weapon, that's why PK are super strong on PC, combined with Wingman or r-99 is just unstoppable, probably on console is not that strong because between the low fps and the 20hz servers, people are shooting enemies that are not even there and they're getting low damage shots when they probably are aiming correctly because of that.
@Leo_the_Lion25Xbox S and X have 120hz option, but apex don't reach 120fps, barely touch de 59-60fps so that feature is useless, hope the next gen will use that feature properly, and apex on pc is not capped, I'm getting 190-200fps with rtx 2080super at 1440p, you only need to change vsync to 1/2adaptative, and that's how you unlock your framerate, on 1080p apex reach 240fps easy.
