So they took the time to nerf a strong weapon but didn't take the time to fix what was actually broken about it. The double pump exploit that allows you to by pass how fast you can shoot the weapon is still working. Shooting the peacekeeper 5 times in 1.5 seconds is ridiculously broken. Please fix the exploit.
wow...
I never really see anyone exploiting this though? I mean maybe I've been lucky but never encountered it before the nerf of the gun or after it. So I can't speak much on how I feel about it because it doesn't seem powerful enough to be abused since most people don't do it and everyone knows about it already.
I've only learned about it from watching twitch streamers. IN particular that racist guy who was banned from pro fortnite competitions in canada. I won't say his name in case its against tos.
You probably won't see it very often of you play console...button sequence is a tad long to be doing with 1 thumb. More likely on PC where multiple fingers can make quicker keystrokes. Unless you run into a strike pack or chronus user running a jitter mod...but yeah just picture a peacekeeper with the fire rate of a wingman or eva-8...pretty cheap...just hold right trigger and auto fire twice as fast as normal peacekeeper
So glad I'm a console peasant. No cheating and yet to see any exploits used that are mentioned on this forum,.
It pays to be a scrub 🙂

eeer,it can still be done on console.its animation canceling.not hard to do at all if you practice.so no,the peasants aint safe either...
You can also swap weapons faster if you crouch during the weapon swap,on console and pc.
Peacekeeper didn't need a Nerf it needed removed....50dmg on a half accurate shot with a 1inch hip fire reticle? Yeah okay...doesn't sound broken at all...stupid as reticle literally covers 50% over a doorway. Meanwhile you're lucky to land 2 301 shots for 30 dmg while they right side peek you for 50 on a half on shot...shotties don't belong in this game. At best they should do 50 dmg at optimal range with perfect accuracy
Please keep in mind that the developers won't every make any drastic changes at once, but rather try to make smaller changes over time according to what the forums are asking for according to Live Balance Update live on all platforms - let's talk about meta. You won't see the peacekeeper "going away" anytime soon.
As for the exploit, I'm sure if it's brought more to the developers attention it will be in patch notes soon to come.
