Re: Can we nerf the Peacekeeper finally?
@SolitaryMassacre i tried to say that some pros and streamers are only good because they abuse PK and it's the only gun they use, without PK they will struggle.

- @audiofilomx And watching them continuously use the R99 isnt boring ?
- @xx_Dante2k_xx I don't watch streamers, i prefer to play, but that's another thing, but yeah probably if they use the same gun and do the same thing every single match, they will be boring; but my point is about skill, somes pros and streamers believe that they are good only because they push someone and land a 110+ bodyshot with pk, then land a second pk shot or some shots with their secondary weapon and get a kill without effort, but without PK that first instant high damage will be removed and they gonna need to work to do some damage, and not only spam PK, those people will start to struggle in fights and only the true pro's will remain.
If the devs nerfed the PK, it would change the meta of the weapons more. Which is a needed change. Season 4 did change the meta in terms of weapons which is amazing but PK still needs a nerf in the damage department and the headshot multiplier in 38+ meters to 1x.
The only Streamer who refuses to use a PK is Rogue who is #2 Ranked on PC Predator Lobbies. You know what he uses as a Loadout? R-301/EVA-8. He uses these weapons because he has tracker aim style gameplay. It's thanks to him that I actually started using the EVA-8 more and been having some fun with it.
And a fun fact, the EVA-8 has 0% leg damage reduction just like the Mastiff. So it is like getting a body shot on someone's legs when you use the EVA-8. That somewhat makes up for the weird random spread pattern. Rogue does switches to the Mastiff though if he gets it because Mastiff is stronger than a EVA-8 which is intended.
Peacekeeper is stronger than a Mastiff which is full of bull.
Devs still have plenty of time to nerf the PK.
The Pk should get some sort of balance, but many of you are exaggerating just a tad, so maybe tone it down. Seriously though, r-301 and EVA-8? That’s basically just a little weaker r-99 and pk, it’s not that different.
Meta changes can be good, but the devs do want to have certain weapons to be better than others, I guess they just would like to have the pk be a good weapon and not nerf it too hard.
The wingman didn’t really get that much of a nerf, it was basically only the mag size, which isn’t super game changing. R-99 did really need a bigger nerf, so that’s what they delivered.
Also, how is it bull that the pk is stronger than the EVA-8? I’m not exactly certain on the numbers here, but EVA-8 has a lot more spread, which would logically place it under the pk.This is similar to another battle royale game, Fortnite. It has a smaller spread shotgun which is used more than it’s large spread cousin.
The R-99 is still very strong, similar in strength to pk, so don’t say it isn’t. If you do, go tell that to the people who say the R-99 is still too op and we’ll see how that goes.
- @Sir_Named R-99 has its strength yes. But NO WHERE near PK. Doing 110 in ONE SHOT? Come on.. How can you say the R-99 is at the same level?
Anyhow @EA_David FIX THIS GUN ALREADY.
I literally picked up a Mastiff from a crate and was hitting people for 36.. like wtf? Why is a GOLD weapon worse than a pick up weapon? - @SolitaryMassacre Well yeah, it doesn’t do 110 damage in one shot... But it is near the level of pk, as it absolutely lasers.
Not sure why you hit for 36 with mastiff, but it doesn’t have as much range as pk. But, it does do more damage if you hit everything, and can even 1-shot if you get the head. @Sir_NamedYeah but you HAVE to ADS with the Mastiff. I can do 110 with the PK in one shot hip firing...
Also, yeah it lasers if you are good with it. Its just on PC, there are so many ways to remove recoil and make it super accurate. I get pissed when I get lasered from like 50m+. They really need to introduce damage fall off. It would balance almost ALL the guns in this game. Another gun that is a POS is the wingman. I got dropped cause I had a G7 that slows you when ADS (as it should) but then since there is no damage fall off, the wingman still hits for 46 (i was lifeline) dams. Like, that is pathetic, in NO WAY should an AR lose to a pistol. Yeah some say "hey a person able to hit you from afar with a pistol is a good shot", well, no cause I am basically standing still with my G7 when compared to a wingman.. The guns are not balanced due to damage not falling off when it should. A pistol is good at most up to 20m. (For people who are used to the imperial system, that is just under 60 feet....)
- @SolitaryMassacre Only if you hit nearly all the shells, and get some headshot in there.
Again, pk is pretty strong, not 100% against a nerf, just want to dispel some of the harsher nerf ideas out there. - @Sir_Named No, you dont need a headshot for 110 dams. Its all body. But with a choke, its not hard to do especially since the choke lasts a few seconds after ADS, but I edited my answer lol
- @SolitaryMassacre Ok, but I’ll have to test this. I could’ve sworn you needed some sort of headshot to get 110...
- @Sir_Named If you don't understand the issue with weapons. It best you don't contribute to the topic. It pretty clear the PK does 110-121 to the body. Has been since season 1........
- @Sir_Named Nope. Hop into the firing range and check. A body shot with all shells hitting will do 110.
- @Leo_the_Lion25 I do understand, but I was under the impression that it did not do 110-120 to body. I will check this. It was not clear to me, so I will check. I will return if I have my evidence.
Regardless, I don’t think it was good to try and gatekeep my opinions. Alright. Checked, it does do 110. My bad.
- @Sir_Named That's if you land all shells , in game that's not guaranteed.
The damage from the PK is so inconsistent. - @xx_Dante2k_xx The only inconsistent think is your aim, that thing does 110 body shot easy, you only need to aim to the nuts and you will be fine.
- @audiofilomx So you can hit 110 every single shot ? What a load of tosh.
I am not disagreeing that it needs a nerf or no, I'm just saying that when in game unless you are playing against bots or people who dont know how to strafe your not going to hit 110 damage every shot. If you miss or do inconsistent damage your pretty screwed.
I couldn't care less if it was even put in the care package, heck even put the R99 in there as well and change the meta completely. @xx_Dante2k_xxWhen I use it, I hip fire most of the time, like everyone else who uses it. And 9/10 times I am doing 90 plus damage to all opponents.. Strafing only helps so much. I do not consider myself an "advanced" player by any means. This gun is stupid. I honestly hate it and only use it when it is the FIRST thing I find and I have enemies to deal with. After that, I gladly drop it for any AR, SMG, LMG, but i'll keep it over the mozambique xD
- @audiofilomx It really isn’t easy. 110 easy body shot (hip-fire) is less than melee range close, or you charge it, in which case you might as well be further away.
