- hayhor3 years agoHero@soraoka623 I was giving you more evidence to help your case about smgs being stronger now. If you don't want it no problem.

By the way, I don't see mention of the Prowler, which is still super weak. People thought the full auto on it was OP, when, practically speaking, it just made the Prowler another option versus the R-99; both were still good in an age without the Volt.
Bring back full auto on the Prowler. Or make a hop up for it, because 3 shot bursts is not a good option for a close range weapon.
- Kyldenar3 years agoSeasoned Ace@KelRiever Prowler is 5 shot bursts. Which is why I never use it any longer than I have to. Without and extended mag, you are reloading every 4 trigger pulls.
- hayhor3 years agoHero@KelRiever The issue with the prowler is as kyldenar says, the mag. This really showed in gun run as it was white mag I believe. With a purple mag it can be a beast in burst. I like it is kept a burst gun but make it stronger. The tradeoff for it not being easy auto is it has more bullets.

Sorry, I know its 5 not 3, I should have said limited bullet burst.
My problem is not just magazine size, but you have to hit with like every shot to be worth it, and that's probably not happening at close range with the Prowler.
The idea of a heavy round SMG is good, limiting burst size is not. A purple mag can help, you are right too, but I don't think I'd pack a purple mag on a Prowler over a Flatline, which is infinitely more useful

For me the prowler holds attachments till I find a CAR.

Right! I forget mentioning the CAR, I mean, in particular this SMG which can use all the same attachments is so much more useful.
- hayhor3 years agoHero@KelRiever You won't hit all your shots with a Car either tho. At one point a burst prowler was highest dps in the game. Every high level player who didn't use a shotty went to it because in hip fire it did the most damage and was the most accurate. Then they nerfed it and now it sits there with no one using it. If it has one more burst per mag size I'd use it.
- 3 years ago@hayhor What are your thoughts on shotgun usage being too low in Apex on PS4?
- hayhor3 years agoHero@soraoka623 I haven't seen them being too low. I'm still seeing them. It's more balanced now. It used to be the close up gun was only a shotgun. I still use a pk because I can hit that one shot for 90 after swapping and I only have to dedicate one inventory slot to ammo for it. But I also sometimes use an smg. Just depends what I find early on.

- Kyldenar3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Cheese9Man Exactly!
Unlike most FPS games, Shotgun/Shiper is not meant to just be One Hit Kill weapons. The TTK in this game is a feature, not a bug.
