Shotgun balance changes

Keep the PK as a hard hitting lever action-shotgun.. mission accomplished.

The PK is good as it is.

Poor Eva-8! Always being dragged behind by the Peacekeeper 😞

I would post a screen shot, but don't feel like covering the names.

Anyway, I do 104 Havoc to a R-99 taking 13 damage. I won. It is now a 1 vs 1. I do 163 to him and he 1 shots me for 148 damage!!!

Great game you have. That's not balanced at all. 

You also buffed the Peacekeeper back to 165 headshot. We shouldn't be losing 83% of our health from something so easy to use.

This why people hate Peacekeeper and Charge Rifle. They're the easiest weapons to pick up and kill people with. Requires no training to master. 

Even the EVA and Moz requires more skill and aim than these two weapons. 

Again, no one like to get one shot killed in this game unless it is something like a Kraber or Mastiff. When you go down to something like those weapon, you be like oh crap! They have a Mastiff or Kraber. 

When you go down to a Peacekeeper, you rage. You don't stay, "Oh crap, he has a PK!"

This is the hard truth. 

Congratulations guys, you got what you wanted. Now just about every shotgun is useless and this game will be nothing but an assault rifle fest, because despite the false claims that shotguns were too versatile, assault rifles literally are good in every situation. At a distance? Have no fear! Up close? Still good enough DPS. It's basically impossible to get close enough with a shotgun now. The devs really have no clue how to balance a game.

I was literally just in a game with the Peacekeeper where I landed a shot from arms length when a guy came through a door I was camping, shot him in the back, and he then put about 6 more shots into him and the game said I did 98 damage. Wow.

You are a *. If I go anywhere in the game regardless of what weapons I carry fully loaded. I will pick up a bare PK. I literally one shot someone with blue armor just yesterday with it. I hate the gun, but pick it up regardless.. Its not balanced at all. There should be 2-3 shots max and a serious damage nerf.
