How to use the Peacekeeper in Apex Legends: Tips, damage stats & DPS Respawn EntertainmentThe Peacekeeper is capable of pumping out some incredible damage in close-quarter firefights, so we\u2019ve got a few tips that will help you secure a dominant victory in Season 9. There are plenty of different shotguns that you can use in Apex Legends. There\u2019s the lightning-fast Eva 8, semi-auto Mastiff, hilariously bad Mozambique, and the ever-popular Peacekeeper. Apex Legends\u2019 Season 9 update has made the Peacekeeper available as floor loot, meaning you won\u2019t need to track down any Care Packages to find it. While the Peacekeeper may no longer come fully kitted with the game\u2019s best attachments, it is still capable of dishing out some ludicrous damage numbers. This is particularly true when you\u2019re aiming for those all-important headshots. If you put in the time to mastering the gun\u2019s intricacies, then you\u2019ll certainly have a huge edge in close-quarter fights. Apex Legends Peacekeeper damage stats Before you go sprinting across Kings Canyon in pursuit of your next target, it\u2019s important to know what kind of damage the Peacekeeper is capable of pumping out. While the Peacekeeper may have a much slower fire rate than the EVA-8 and Mastiff, it is capable of dishing out great damage.

The Peacekeeper is also currently the only shotgun that doesn\u2019t lose its headshot multiplier outside of close-quarter ranges, meaning you can still deliver lethal hits no matter where you are. Of course, like most shotguns, the Peacekeeper\u2019s damage greatly relies on you being able to land the majority of the gun\u2019s pellets. The full damage breakdown can be found below: Apex Legends Peacekeeper attachments Peacekeeper Optics 1x Holo – 1x HCOG \u201cClassic\u201d – 2x HCOG \u201cBruiser\u201d – 1x-2x Variable Holo – 1x Digital Threat – Peacekeeper Shotgun Bolts Common: +15% higher fire rate – Rare: +25% higher fire rate – Epic: +35% higher fire rate – The 1x Digital Threat makes seeking out targets and securing cranium kills incredibly easy. Even without the Digital Threat, the Peacekeeper is still capable of dropping even the tankiest Legends in a few hits. This is particularly true when you have the Shotgun Bolt and inbuilt Precision Choke equipped.

ADS for greater accuracy One of the biggest benefits of using the Peacekeeper is its incredible accuracy. Aiming down sights further reduces the gun\u2019s spread, giving you the opportunity to those high damage headshots. When you combine this with the fact that the Peacekeeper is the only shotgun that doesn\u2019t lose its headshot multiplier outside of close-quarter engagements, you have an extremely lethal shotgun. Read More: Apex Legends Arenas first impressions – While hip firing can net you plenty of kill in close-quarter scenarios, it\u2019s almost always best to aim down sights. This is particularly true when your opponents are stationary or you manage to ambush them. Pair the Peacekeeper with a mid to long-range weapon While the Peacekeeper\u2019s headshot multiplier may not diminish over long-distances, we recommend taking another gun that you can rely on in the mid to long-range. After all, why bother trying to hit distant targets with the Peacekeeper when you can simply use a sniper or AR? Weapons like the R-301 Carbine, 30-30 Repeater, Spitfire, and Longbow DMR are all decent options.
