The PeaceKeeper should have never been made part of the loot pool again

I my opinion the peacekeeper should have stay in the care packages only. It does more damage than the other shotguns in game  As it is it needs some type of nerf.  Most of my deaths so far it is are...

@Vdstrk I like that it's ground loot now so shotgun users have more options and I wouldn't be surprised if I die to peacekeeper users right now cause a lot of people love using it.

Now regarding if PK is stronger than Mastiff. It's really hard to tell. With PK you have more pellets that needs to hit and lower ammo so it kinda makes sense it would deal more damage compared to Mastiff. Whether it does way too much damage is something I can't really say at the moment.

      @Vdstrk The problem with nerfing PK's damage is that it would absolutely tilt the favor to Mastiff. Right now they both have trade offs on what makes them better than the other.
      PK has a higher damage but a lower RPM, a smaller magsize and you have to reload the whole chamber which can mean the difference between winning a fight.
      Mastiff on the other hand may lose to PK damage wise but it's compensated by a faster RPM,bigger magsize,you can reload 1 bullet at a time, and you can tap ADS to choke the spread.
      So in conclusion PK is a gun that you must win as fast as possible but a prolonged shotgun fight Mastiff would win.

        They could balance both, or just place them both back in the care packages.
        Why not making a distinction between PUBS where both guns drop as now, and Ranked, where they are both in care package?

      @Vdstrk I'm not worried about it at all. They pay attention to the gun stats and make adjustments to them when necessary if the PK needs adjustments it will happen.

      I like that they rotate guns in and out of the care packages, it allows me to use the skins that I had for said guns more frequently. I have a ton of skins for the PK and rarely got to use them while the PK was in the care packages.

      I think there is some initial shock when new guns enter the game or old guns rotate out of the Care Package and back onto the floor.

        I think it comes down to personal preference, some people are good at using certain weapons. I don't think any GUN is op, it's the person using the weapon that makes them good.

        For me In every FPS I always use pistols because that's what I'm good at.

        So despite the fact that the Hammerpoint hop up was removed, im still using my favorite gun, the P2020. (in arenas its free!💛)
