  • Nope. They nerfed them all and now they fire nerf darts.

    Hope that clears things up for you.
  • I'm pretty sure its the server? I've had two occasions where i unloaded on someone with a shotgun and they didn't die. I even checked the after game stats and showing i did 126 damage to him and he just kept walking after killing me

  • I can't say peacekeeper and wingman are S tier weapons.

    But a lot of weapons are pretty powerfull is used correctly and at the right time.

    In skirmish fights light ammo guns have most of the time the upper hand.

    However when it gets later in the game, shotguns with attachments and snipers get a powerspike.

    How to counter this?

    Before end game fight start try to zone enemys with those weapons with grenades.

    You can kill them really easy with a devotion or any fast firing weapon or snipe them from a distance.

    This game is all about moves and counter moves and playing to your strengths.

    hard to kill someone when non of your shots are registering . Its not normal I have to throw 4 nades use over 3 mags of extended 301 to kill 1 pers. only to have them turn around and 1 shot me with a stupid shotgun that needs to be fixed. doesnt make sense
  • I mean it sounds more like user error if I'm honest. I use the 301 a lot and it's pretty vicious. Not much damage per shot though so you have to be accurate to make it stick.

    To be honest, there is no one to blame here.

    The game has a nice learning curve and i'm sure you improve every day.

    Aiming can be hard sometimes and being lucky is a part of the game.

    If you think those guns are strong, nothings stops you from taking those guns.... maybe dying but if you grab the gun first you should be fine 😉

    Try to find a weapons that feels the best for you. Maybe your aren't a assault rifle type but a "sniper 360 charge short triple take shot" guy. (cringy name, i'm aware of that)

    Who knows the area holds many surprises!

    Things like peacekeeper and wingman makes the other weapons look like a joke.
    Both peacekeeper and wingman are supposedly CQC weapons but you can use them mid range and sometimes even long range without any problem. But most important, without any mods on them.

    You need to hard mod the others weapon to be above average. But the above are good as soon as you pick them up.
