It's not about 'Weapon Skills, it's that no matter what weapon you use, with the exception of a few pistols, all you need is the ammo and the ability to keep hitting the target!
All the weapons pretty much require the same level of Skill to use, meaning, what was said before, you need to 'Hit the target' shoot people to win, and if you can point and aim, then it happens with all the weapons.
Some weapons certainly have higher impact, but if you can't shoot someone, then it doesn't matter.
The only skill is learning how to AIM when are trying to shoot a moving target and at the same time you are jumping and moving around to avoid being hit.
The SKILL is in the MOUSE & KEYBOARD usage! You get your Mouse & Keyboard skills down, you'll kill people with just about any weapon out there... 😉
The facts are that some weapons require more shooting to kill someone, and so the only skill involved is to be able to continue hitting a moving target, which as I said, is about good mouse and keyboard control, not the difficulty of the weapons.
Now does any of this make any sense to you?
Don't forget about the DELAY in the Havoc when you first pull the trigger as it loads up! This concept in Havoc should really get the NERF, so that when you fire, it's instant, no more delays... 😉
@xpl0its i get what your saying...i dont think your understanding me here...are you telling me its easier for a new fps player to spray a 30 rnd spitfire or accurately hit with a 10 rnd scout?
does this make sense to you?
are you telling me that a longbow is easier for a new fps player to use than a peacekeeper?
does this make sense to you?
does it make sense to you that the easiest gun in the game to land a shot with does 150 dmg in a single trigger pull?

Here's the best way I can break it down, since you made a good reply with your concerns...
@SG_Armastama i get what your saying...i dont think your understanding me here...are you telling me its easier for a new fps player to spray a 30 rnd spitfire or accurately hit with a 10 rnd scout?
Each weapon is going to be a personal choice.
does this make sense to you?
Yes
are you telling me that a longbow is easier for a new fps player to use than a peacekeeper?
No, each weapon as I mentioned is a personal choice, based on your playing style.
does this make sense to you?
Yes
does it make sense to you that the easiest gun in the game to land a shot with does 150 dmg in a single trigger pull?
Given the nature of this game, most of the time, you have to be fast.
Try this next time you play, if you can handle the recoil use a R99, if you don't like the recoil, then carry an R301 and a Peackeeper. Make sure both weapons are fully kitted with all the options.
Now, hopefully you can carry yourself to the latter part of the game where you are going to run into the better players all in Purple Armor, some even in Gold, with them at Close Range, and I mean like 30-50ft in front of you, try killing them with the Peacekeeper, then try next time killing with the R99 or R301.
I think what you might be missing here is the idea that it takes a certain amount of shots to create damage to knock someone down, and the faster you do that, the better. So even though the R99 & R301 do less damage as Light Ammo weapons, their speed makes up for the difference, where it becomes easier to knock people down.
Now most of what I am describing is Close to Mid Range shooting, sure there can be some Long Range battles, so if you think your Sniping skills are down to it, then carry Sniper weapons, but to be honest, most of this game at some point does end up in Close to Mid range battles.
Now hopefully what I've said makes sense?

Pls pay special attention to 4:44-4:58 especially absolute lack of required aiming in the two long distance shots at 4:55
Then again 7:06-7:15...absolutely 0 aim required...the reticle is 5x the character model...dmg is dmg and the ease of dmg with a low skill gun such as the pk is ridiculous

Do you actually know who that is you are watching a video of on YouTube? 😉
There's no lack of Aiming, you're talking about one of the Best Apex players out there, so sure it looks like that.
Just LISTEN to what I said before and go practice!
There's nothing else for me to say, until you try what I've already suggested.
PEACE
