Yea but if I'm going to be fighting up close there are better guns. I would much rather have a shotgun or the R-99 or Wingman.

with a few upgrades it really becomes a lethal weapon on close range man. don't sleep on it.
Is matchmaking for the XBOX One busted at the moment? I've been sitting here for over 5 minutes waiting for it to find me a game.
See below
This is all that needs to be said. It might become decent at close range, but decent doesn't cut it when there are guns that EXCEL at close range (and many of which aren't exclusively close range guns like the prowler).
That's my point. If you drop into a hot zone and grab one you could do a lot worse--Moz, P2020, RE-45. I've taken out full squads with a burst fire Prowler. A burst to the upper body/chest is good for 100 or so damage pretty quickly.
I wouldn't take it over about half the guns. But if my options are a burst fire Prowler or a Moz, I'm taking the Prowler 100% of the time. Obviously if I had my pick of several guns I wouldn't take it over a lot of others, but it does it's job as long as you have decent aim. I imagine on console the thing is worthless without selectfire.
I find that the Prowler is exceptionally lethal at mid to close range and superior to the 99 in the same situations.
The issue with the Prowler isn't its killing potential; it's its requirement of having a select fire hop-up to get to its full potential. Ain't nobody got time to carry around a weapon HOPING to find a hop-up, or visa versa when you can just pick up an 99 and be more than good enough. As such, people ignore the weapon entirely. But it's not because it's a bad weapon and you're fooling yourself to suggest otherwise.
That's basically how I look using the Peacekeeper. I'm really bad with it for some reason...
Won a game. By getting the last kill. On PC. With a controller.

Yeah I've stopped picking it up if possible. There are better options for me.
I played with a guy who used a controller yesterday, dude got 8 kills to my 2. I'm much better at some PC shooters with my Elite controller (Destiny 2, Titanfall 2, DOOM) so I tried it when I started this game, but immediately dropped it since there is 0 aim assist. Figured that would make it useless at range. Maybe it's time to try again...
Clips are what civvies put in their hair, this is called a magazine.
Not necessarily. You often see amazing players playing very dumbly or inefficiently because they're so good at gunplay that other aspects barely matter.
And skill level matters immensely for which guns are best for whom. Sure Peacekeeper probably has lower theoretical TTK than Prowler, but it's not going to outperform it in my hands until I can land shots far more accurately and reliably.
Finally, FINALLY got a win. Had two random that knew what they were doing and our teamwork -even without mics- was on point.
Oh and everyone can keep walking past the Longbow. It's my bread and butter, I like playing it more like a DMR than a sniper rifle, and find it best to use mostly AR scopes instead of the 6x purple ones.

I love that she says this and (with the default pose) chambers a round, then actuates the charging handle which would immediately eject the round.
[EDIT] Actually she may just be releasing the bolt.
I don't blame you, there's a lot of Nathan Drake in that character. Even down to the way he comically fumbles words that aren't difficult to pronounce.
I find that I always melee when i use the a Peacekeeper, is there a clench protection option?
Honestly after all this time playing each character, it really feels like something is lost by not everyone getting to experience Pathfinder's grapple. Like I'd be totally okay with every character getting a grapple, the verticality of gameplay feels like it makes every other character cheaper somehow if you don't have it. I get that is the whole point of Pathfinder, but man it's simply too big of a gameplay feature that makes the maps so much more engaging, it feels like I might as well be walking without a grapple feature.
Mirage punches boulders and eats chili dogs during his off-hours.
Couldn't get a match on Xbox. Assuming the servers are overloaded. Most kids out of school here in the US
If you play on console you can choose a button layout that swap melee for crouch.
In don't think there's aim assist on PS4 where I mostly play so I don't really notice a difference.
I'm destroying with pathfinder. I slept on him at first, but his grapple is game changing once you learn it. I'm finding he's a better offensive character than the attack type legends.
Play with him long enough and it starts to baffle me as to why they didn't just make the grapple a core gameplay mechanic. It absolutely transforms the maps in a way no other character can touch. I too dismissed it as a 'point at something and go straight to it' kind of mechanic, but once you test it out, the sheer versatility of the grapple is fucking insane.
clips are for real rifles. magazines are for plastic toys.
I wish they would lower the cooldown. I want to feel like spider-bot.
Like you can do absolutely wacky things with it after a fashion. I've gotten punched off the cargo ship, grappled, did a full loop and landed behind the enemy to punch him off. Like if you know how to not break the grapple it's fucking ridiculous.
What are kids out of school for?
Can't get a game either btw, Xbox.
Man, the game matches me with just one more player and he gets whatever this new bug that slows some players down to a crawl is...
Haha, this is what I'm talking about.
I did over 2k damage and got 10 kills but lost to the last squad of two players in the last tiny circle. :(
