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.

I think the shotguns are balanced fine like you said. Have I used the PK a lot? Sure. But that's more because it's been in exile in the care package for almost a year lol. The Bique is quite effective with the extra shots. Mastiff still is pretty strong. Eva imo is every bit as deadly up close as the PK right now.

So far my honest evaluation of the PK is its more of a preference. Its the pump shotgun of the group. If you are good with pumps, you will be good with PK.

That said, I've already seen plenty of instances where at point blank I'm hitting for 25 or less damage with the PK...just like old times lol. The inconsistency seems to be back.

@ArchAngeL-PCX I agree. Now we have three balanced shotguns (maybe Mastiff is slightly weaker?). I tried using the PK and it's not OP at all, just like Eva. Two different options but similar in the end.
The only gun needing a slight nerf is the bow imo. The rest is just fine (from what i've seen for now).

  PK should have been left in the supply drop.

    @Vdstrk Nah, it's been too much time in there. It was the right thing to put it on the ground. As you're seeing most of us don't find it op at all, instead it's balanced compared to the other shotguns.
    And you should give it more time, the new season came out yesterday (not counting Tuesday as servers were down). Play it for a couple of weeks then come back and give your thoughts. It's too early to jump on conclusions.
