REMOVE MASTIFF ! OMG !
I swear ! I got killed by a guy level 60 ! plz it's a beginner ! MASTIFF requires no shot ! How to ruin a game with 12 bombs cuz of this noob gun ! get brain when you are doing some updates !
@CrashA320 Comments like these are why I can't take the Mastiff vs PK debate seriously. The Mastiff does have an insane fire rate (with the purple bolt) and that does make it easy to just spam without aiming. The wide spread of the gun is more of a negative than a positive and typically doesn't land you more high damage shots. Just like the PK your target has to be relatively centered in front of your gun to land those high damage shots.
So unless your target chooses to walk into the center of your shots you do actually have to aim. I'm not saying shotguns take much skill but you're not landing high damage shots if your target isn't near the middle of your crosshairs.
@RandomMees This is why I want to see how the PK does in firing range without being a care package weapon. Memory tells me that a PK shot could hit for 110 damage max without the choke. Fully choked it could blast through purple armor and a bit of health so at least 130-150 damage. The Mastiff was doing 165 damage when it was a care packaged gun. Memory can't be trusted so I really wish I could be sure of those values.
Made a short video about this cancer gun's "range disadvantage"...

Everyone should draw the conclusion...
And another one comparing to 2 snipers...
Why do we even have other weapons?
The latest patch nerfing the mastiffs damage is live. I wonder if the mastiff can still do this.
Mastiff is still OP, they should reduce the spawn rate!
Picture before S8 Chaos Theory Update... but they only reduce from 13 to 11 so there is not a lot getting better.
@CrashA320 Saw the Mastiff consistently hit for 78 damage on one of the targets and started to think it was a problem. Then I saw you hit the dummies for 13-26 damage at that same range and realized the 78 only happened because it was a bigger target. That damage is low enough that no individual shot is a real threat and loses to any decent SMG or Assault Rifle. The rate of fire with a purple bolt is still the only thing that looks concerning with the Mastiff.
I'd be happy with a range nerf too but no video ever shows it being a consistent ranged threat. Just a lucky weapon you can spam at a distance to be annoying.
The amount of damage should be 0 on those targets...
