The Peacekeeper in Season 26
Here is my experience with the Peacekeeper (PK) this season:
As the wielder:
- It's my favorite shotgun, next to single Mozambique (since mag nerf not satifying to play and i don't like akimbos)
- The damage feels very satisfying especially against the fast legends like ash dashing into a full body shot
- It's easy to hit partially, a full damage shot takes a slight bit of extra time but not very long
- The choke activates quickly, that makes it very reliable
- Fighting Caustic is hard because he usually takes 3 hits and if it's in a trapped building i get knocked from the gas before that
As the recipient:
- Getting nearly insta-killed by an ash and a wraith just because they rushed in wielding PKs is infuriating
- If i use a Flatline or a R-301 i sometimes get PK'd because it takes basically no time to equip / switch to the PK (seriously, which weapon is faster to switch to?)
- I get insta-killed a lot when i am downed because of the high damage
Generall feedback to the PK:
- The effective damage output is too high to adequatly counter with a EVA-8/R-301/Havok/P2020/L-Star/Rampage/... basically only RE-45/Mastiff/R-99/CAR/Prowler(full-auto) work against it
(and remember, it's a team game -> teams can have more than one) - The choke is way too fast, or needs to be nerfed some other way since the resulting "range"/"fire rate at range" makes it too versatile for such a strong close quarters weapon
- The magazine should be nerfed, a single mozambique has only five shots (60 dmg each), maybe PK should get four?
Please remember I am not a pro, I don't have perfect aim with every weapon and I don't hit headshots every time. A slight mathematical edge in favor of another weapon isn't of interest to me and isn't the point of my feedback.
