Peacekeeper can do 110 from 200m w/choke

Tested in firing range. Grab a 4-10x sniper scope, peacekeeper with choke, and find 200m via the sniper scope - (Best place spawn rooms - Aim for target boards - not dummies) If you can fully choke i...

Well, I tried the mighty Peacekeeper in the firing range. Best I could hit a dummy with choke on a dummy was:

20m: 165
50m: 125
100m: 78

Sure on a target that's like 3x3m it will do more, but on a legend there's no way to do over 100 damage at 200m and not even at 100m. If it happens, it's most likely a glitch.

Head's up, Legends.

We've just pushed a balance adjustment to the peacekeeper that does the following:

Increased rechamber time: 1.1 -> 1.2

Decreased head shot multiplier: 1.5 -> 1.25

  @EA_Blueberry Let them quit nerfing stuff and actually make stuff better by.... I dunno, fix servers, better matchmaking or any other problems that are present since day 1 ☹️

  @EA_Blueberry Now the PK is useless, all we wanted was for the pellet width to be reverted back the way they were .

    @SethCurry I think the pellet width was a good update, it would miss point blank before. Theres no reason to miss with a shotgun point blank. There is a reason shotguns are sold to inexperienced homeowners for security. You cant miss. The headshot damage drop and increased rechamber time is a good start. They should definitely have the damage drop over distance increase too.

  @EA_Blueberry That does nothing. The devs ignored our feedback on the issues. Reducing the headshot damage isn't the problem.
  
  They increase the pellet size for all shotguns. The other shotguns are fine, but the Peacekeeper became broken.
  
  It needs a nerf like reducing the body damage from 10 to 8. Leg damage from 8 to 6. Headshot damage did get nerfed which was requested as well. But it also needs a nerf in distance to prevent people from sniping with the PK. Give it falloff damage at 30+ meters. It's a close ranged weapon, not a sniper or mid-range weapon. Reduce ammo size from 6 to 4 as well. 6 shots is way too much overkill.
