Please buff the other cqc weapons
I'm so sick and tired of running Mastiff just so I don't automatically lose cqc if someone is running one.

- @MandatoryIDtag So nerf the slightly.
@Daze623 Many guns "compete" with the Mastiff so I don't know what you're asking for. Plus the RE-45 might shred Mastiff users so I don't know why you're sleeping on that gun. It requires more skill and extended mags but the gun is beastly.
@xMaxrayx I hope I have your name right. Every single fire gun is good at peeking which includes the PK. The horizontal spread also makes it a pain to shoot a Pathfinder or Octane if they choose to go vertical.
Dodging is just as effective against a Mastiff as any other gun unless there's something you know that I don't.
- @Zamaha400 I'm not "sleeping" on the RE-45 it's one of my favorite pistols in the game but I also won't lie to myself and say RE-45>Mastiff. When I say "compete" I mean make people decide whether they should take gun 1 or gun 2 just like how it was with r-99 and PK back then. There's a reason why most Diamond+ players opt to run Mastiff as secondary.
- @BaldWraithSimp they should have nerfed it more imho. They should have either made it a gold hop-up or added some kind of drawback/requirement for using it like Sentinel's disruptor round requirement,double tap's recoil and precision choke's charge up.
@Daze623 Ah fair enough. I consider the RE-45 as lethal as the Mastiff but it's limited to a similar range and takes more skill. For that reason I wouldn't take an RE-45 over the Mastiff.
I definitely wouldn't take Mastiff over the R301/R-99/devotion/volt/G7.
Depending on the situation I'd take the longbow, Hemlock, Spitfire, Flatline, Prowler.
You're right about the close range guns for the most part. I don't bother with the Mozambique, Eva-8, P2020, or especially the Alternator. The P2020 is actually decent but nobody would argue against buffing the other three.
- @Zamaha400 I did say that this is about CQC and how no other CQC weapon is currently competing with Mastiff's spot apart from the two care package weapons(r-99,peacekeeper and devo if you manage to spin it up without getting two tapped). I don't think they can nerf Mastiff without absolutely butchering the gun so I just wish they would buff the other CQC weapons instead.
FYI in a random loot drop battle royal game, while I do believe there needs to be balance between finding weapons and armor, I don't think all weapons should be created equal. It's pretty clear to me that a Mastiff should generally eclipse a P2020 or Re.45, everything else being equal.
- @KelRiever true that not all gun should be equal but when you have only 1 gun in high tier for CQC then there's gonna be a big issue as it would just go down to "If you don't have ____ then you lose" which is a problem that needs to be addressed and balanced out.
mastiff is a broken botweapon...
i honestly dont wanna know how many people did quit over that weapon
