Yes. And it will be the same should the prowler be in the floor loot pool again. There was a reason why that was taken out.
I wanted to experience it before talking about it. And I think it needs a nerf.

I guess it makes sense if I remind myself that Apex is just a casual game. I automatically think of it as a skill based game, but obviously it is not. Has it ever been skill based?
Sure, I can see that happening. I just think that PK is a bit too strong, as the mastiff, to be part of the general loot.- 5 years ago
R99 is OP, PK is OP, Charge Rifle is OP, Triple take is OP, Bocek is OP, Mastiff is OP, Spitfire is OP... This is how the playerbase proves that the weapons are actually well balanced and feel strong, they are not ticklers.
As for this being a casual game, nope. Apex Legends matches the definition of a hardcore game perfectly. The playerbase proves this as well, with the high levels of engagement and endless complaints.

You have a diametrically opposite point of view.
I am convinced that Apex is a Casual game, and that it caters to the casual player mostly. With very little attention towards the more hardcore players because they are a minority.As you stated in various posts, and as devs confirmed, the advantages of upgrading from 20 tickrates to 64 or more are negligible given the audience obviously.
Any other competitive game has at the very least 64 tickrates (and 128 possibly, see ESEA for CS:GO, Valorant), despite of whatever argument about updating the entire world, or costs it may need.
Since devs are not willing, cannot go that route it means that it is either not worth it for the average player (meaning the average player is not competitive enough) or the game was not meant to be competitive in the first place --hence the way it has been coded does not allow for it to work with, say, 128 updates per second).
That is why I believe that Apex is a Casual game.
As far as weapons go, I'm interested in talking about the peacekeeper. I think other weapons are fine the way they are, but the bow (that would be another topic).
