Re: Weapon Spotlight - Longbow & Peacekeeper

Both are really strong guns

The peacekeeper is always there to delivers damage to the fights and if you challenge a experience player, you won't survive.
If has around 100 damage per second and makes it a nice brawl gun and fit's the current meta pretty well.

I don't use shotguns that much in game but i prefer the EVA-8 over the peacekeeper because of its higher DPS potential and being more forgiving when missing a shot.

Next seasons we will see a lot of buffs that could maybe lower the pick rate of the shotguns in general.
As Energy and underdog weapons will get buffed that maybe could take S rank spot of the peacekeeper and the longbow.

The longbow became very powerful after the buff and can be seen as the wingman MK.2, nice rate of fire and very accurate.

It really is a deadly gun from long to mid range, missing a shot is not that bad and the gun has a nice rate of fire and enough in its clip to survive fights.
I sometimes take the longbow but it's getting outclassed by the hemlock that shines in mid to close range fights.

I love the look of the longbow, it really looks and sounds like a weapon that could deal massive amounts of damage and is never to be underestimated.

I hope to see both of this guns in the S or A tier weapons in season 2 but only time will tell.

    Both guns are super powerful in the right situation but then they are supposed to be!

    Loving the Longbow at the moment, I actually use it with a red dot sight a lot and use it as a close range weapon, great for taking people down in a 1v1 fight.

    Only thing with peacekeeper is possibly reducing the choke amount slightly so it's not as easy to snipe with it across the map, will probably make it better in close quarters however!

    Ive got nothing but love for the modern longbow and nothing but hate for the peacekeeper.

    It may be different on PC without aim assist but on console:

    In the hands of a REALLY good player the peacekeeper can wreck you.

    In the hands of a REALLY bad player the peacekeeper can wreck you.

    Its a gun that a lot of people happily keep as their second because in the event of their aiming totally failing they start hopping around like demented rabbits and hipfiring seemingly at random.  I assume the thinkig goes "If Im definitely dead anyway ill take the coin toss of 2shotting this guy"
