Well I basically use all snipers except krabers as shotguns. Screw actual shotguns except mozambique (yes you read that right). I suck with the eva 8, cause I always do low dmg output and the peacekeeper... let’s just say before the first patch of Apex I was rocking that thing non-stop, then suddenly after that update (no where in the patch notes was it mentioned that it got changed) the gun felt off. So I stopped using it along with a lot of other people. Couple patches later so many ppl start using it again and I end up dying as soon as I hear that gun cocking...
and I have a personal hate for that weapon. I needed one more kill... one more to get the Triple Triple badge (kill 3 members of 3 teams in same match 3 times). Downed the second to the last guy, fought this guy, first shot -80dmg for me... while he needed 1/2 shots from my prowler, he shot again I’m dead... screaming my lungs out that I died due to that weapon xD. But getting off topic.
Screw the inconsistencies of that weapon (peacekeeper). I shoot someone square at their chest from like 20 feet, I get 20dmg... I tried ‘sniping’ with it just for fun couple days ago... guy was further than 100 feet, I hit that guy (with choke of course) for like 16 or something and I’m like wtf?! XD

Longbow is a good early game sniper :P nothing but love for it. If it’s in my or the enemy’s hands, it can be powerful

I hate peacekeeper can it can one shot you even with 175 health if it was headshots. Sometimes it takes 1-3 hits to one tap you.

I once did 99 headshot damage to a bloodhound who was looting and he shoots me with a peacekeeper. I did the 99 damage with a longbow. So he was 2 out of 200 health and it was bull.

I would use the longbow more if I landed more shots often but I don't. It does damage but if you can't finish or knock them, it hard to use.

I am more aggressive play style anyway.

Heres how you should balance the PK - Remove ALL aim assist from it. Then we will see how many of these leaping hipfire oneshots happen.
I gather on PC this weapon is balanced. On console - every potato tier player I meet has one so when they spray and miss a full clip of r301 they can flick to the 2nd and start tossing a coin for instakills
