Re: I keep getting one shot by the pks

@Vdstrk I don't think PK spits 175 dmg in one shot. It's like 110 if I am not mistaken.

    Yep, i think it is around that. And yet I get erased by it in one shot.
    In that specific case the damage report showed 109 damage. But I had full armor (blue) and full health. Definitely more than 109 all in all.
    So I am not sure what it is....

    Seriously, Almost every time i get killed is by a shotgun.... I am not exaggerating, but 9/10 for sure.

    @Vdstrk  I've got a lot of experience in being melted by this gun so perhaps I can offer some advice lol.

    The obvious one being try and keep some distance between you and the pk user when possible. you'll force them to charge fire or switch weapons.

    Secondly if you're caught in a battle with a peek shooting pk user, try not to simply peek back at them...they're anticipating this.

    Slide to shots, jumpslides, wall jumps....anything you can use to force that player not to just sit pre aiming at where they know you'll peek from is going to force them to adjust their aim...which is more likely to turn the fight to your advantage due to the PK's firerate. This generally works for any opponents pre aiming though....regardless of weapon choice.

    @Vdstrk No problem. 😛

    Idk how long you've been playing but if you're a more recent player consider yourself lucky you didn't face the Pk of old. There was an old buff that got reverted where they made each pellet thicker, the PK outperformed most close-mid range weapons. I actually pulled off a 200m kill with one back then.....yes a 200m kill with a shotgun lol.

    @MandatoryIDtagI did play at the beginning halfway to season 2, then took a long break and came back to play in S7, halfway through..
    I remember it...

    It was a problem back then IMO, and I find it op now as well. Since it just dropped many people use it, and that is probably why i keep getting deleted by it.

    200m kill is impressive with a shotgun lol.

    Aceu back then spoke against it... well not sure when, about when valorant came out I guess?
