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 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 It can work with placing them in care packages but I'm not a fan of having pubs different from rank cause at most I use pubs to practice and that wouldn't really mean much if there's a difference between the two modes. I'm not even a fan of having pubs/rank different from pro for the same reason but that's for a different topic.

      I am not sure what you mean. Would pubs just be a warm up for you? Why would it matter if an enemy would use a gun or the other in a warm up?

      I think i kinda see your point. Would you rather have a single game mode and that would be ranked? I would agree with you on it.

        Yeah I used to play pubs as practice before I completely gave up with rank. The thing about meta is it's affected by a lot of things. Lets say that they put Mastiff and PK in the carepackage. This would mean they'll take out 2 guns and add it back to ground loot and those 2 guns can change the meta. And if the meta in pubs is different to ranked then most of your practice in pubs would be meaningless as you'll be used to pubs meta not ranked meta.

        I don't think people would like to have ranked mode as a single mode now as some people like to chill and have fun and that might not sit well with people who want to tryhard.

    I completely disagree. The peacekeeper feels great right now. I’ve grown so tired of fighting spitfires and mastiffs, a gun that can devastate, that requires skill to use, is exactly what we needed and what many of us wanted. It’s significantly weaker with the stats they gave it compared to carepack PK, and like stated earlier, has its pros and * versus the other shotguns. I’ll be honest, any claim that the PK is OP right now is pretty far fetched when the loot pull is littered with guns far superior that require 0 skill to use(see spitfire, volt, r301, bocek) 

    the peacekeepers is just the most satisfying shotgun to use, and I suspect that’s why you’re seeing it, not because it’s “OP” Something about the sound of the shot when you crack someone and down them simultaneously it’s just music to my ears.....

    it doesn’t need a nerf, it just needs appreciated.
