Nerf R99 and Peacekeeper

[EThought113213]

They are still better than literally everything else, just hard nerf these things already!

No point in using anything else, it's ridiculous how after everything they're still brokenly OP.

@EThought113213I’d say then keep using them... but seeing this post I think you get killed more by them than that you kill by them...

So you’re either not using them (as much) due to:
lack of skill or experience (either or both handling them or killing with them)
Having principle not to use them since they’re good

Either way I’d say either use them (more) or just don’t get into CQB cause you’ll face them... literally.

I’m basically saying this since it’s been how many months and these weapons have been adjusted but stay at the top so we’re not gonna see them get nerfed into a lower tier even, let alone a hard nerf.

Peacekeeper is just too unreliable to deserve a nerf lol, r99 already recieved one.

I'm frankly amazed the double tap eva isnt on the list of player gripes currently.  Aim center mass and you've got an enormous damage output...and its incredibly easy to master.

I think Devotion with turbo beats R-99 in close/medium range now, and recoil is alot easier to handle. I´ve had many games with 19 kills on new map with that setup, I can´t get that with R-99 anymore, since with Devotion you can laser people at long range too + purple mag you have two kills per mag. So no lets not nerf R-99. I see no reason to nerf PK, it is supposed to be strong in close range - and if you run up to someone with PK - its your own fault.

@EThought113213 There top tier but not over powered. If you think they are then take advantage of it and keep distance from someone with them. There both close to close/mid range. Stay further away with an assault rifle. Honestly, learn to play.

@DavidW74Well said. I would sooner use the P2020 with hammer point rounds or thr Eva-8 is very good as well, even the Prowler with the hop up is viable. There are a lot of counters to the R99.

I think the Alternator needs a slight Damage buff now disruptor rounds have gone, it was a little to good with them but now it's a low tier weapon.

I'll take the hemlock, with a sight, on single fire over both those guns every day of the week

@xx_Dante2k_xx Agree, Alternator could use a SLIGHT buff...but some weapons needs to be second place (or it’s just another r99) and the Alternator early game(low armor) is still very solid close to close/mid range. I don’t have issues using it early game and it’s easy to upgrade as things progress. I love the alt but feel it’s close to balanced if it’s place is meant to be second tier.

Honestly I think these guns are fine as they are. The R99 is pretty situational really and in this long range meta isn't as powerful as it was on King's Canyon. The Peacekeeper is a lot more reliable now, but it still has that risk for reward-ness about it, and similarly to the R99 Really works better in those close quarters situations and struggles in the long range fights.

@EThought113213 Ever tried using a Peacekeeper without a shotgun bolt? Better hope you don't miss.

Both have been nerfed directly already, and I'll rarely pick one up now in this long range meta map
