Re: NERF THE PEACEKEEPER

Yeah, peacekeeper is easy mode for noobs to feel good about themselves. I specifically avoid it so that I dont need to shower after playing apex. Found a gold PK yesterday and i opted to take an alternator over it. Some people have standards. Others dont I guess.

Apex, as with most shooters, revolves around cqc to mid range combat, with cqc not being difficult to initiate. The PK, being a shotgun, excels at cqc. Too much. The problem with it is not fire rate or spread, it's the fact that you can deal 110 - 165 dmg in an instant with the minimum amount of exposure to incoming damage. Where someone with a sustained fire weapon needs to maintain LOS, and thus be exposed, a PK user simply needs to peak shoot hide, dealing immense damage while taking minimal.

I hate to break it to you, but that type if play requires very little skill. So here we have a low skill, high damage weapon. Such low skill should not be so highly rewarded.

Its one top 3 weapon in the game. Maybe change the firepower a bit and make the weapon appear less than it does right now.
Reduce firespeed slightly is also one option.

ROF nerfs are negligible due to the standard usage of the weapon. It would mean you just hump the corner a couple microseconds longer, stillunder cover with no threat to yourself. It would need to be a massive ROF nerf to have any effect, I'm talking 1 shot/3-4seconds

Maybe each shot uses 2 rounds. Then you cant murder a whole squad with one clip.
