70 Body PK
The term 70 Body PK refers to the damage output of the Peacekeeper shotgun in Apex Legends. This particular figure is significant in understanding the weapon's damage mechanics when hitting a target's body.
Understanding the Peacekeeper Shotgun
The Peacekeeper is a lever-action shotgun known for its powerful damage and precision at close range. It is a favorite among players who prefer engaging in close-quarter combat scenarios. Originally, the Peacekeeper was a Legendary Weapon, but it has since been adjusted to fit into the regular loot pool, making it more widely available.
Damage Mechanics
The 70 Body PK refers to the base damage dealt to an opponent's body with a single shot from the Peacekeeper. This is crucial for players to understand as it helps in calculating the number of shots required to down an enemy:
- Body Shots: Each pellet from the Peacekeeper deals a portion of the total damage, with a full hit dealing 70 damage to the body.
- Headshots: The Peacekeeper also benefits from a headshot multiplier, allowing for significantly more damage if aimed accurately at the enemy's head.
- Leg Shots: Shots to the legs may deal less damage, emphasizing the importance of aiming for the torso or head.
Strategy and Usage
Mastering the Peacekeeper involves understanding its quirks and capabilities:
- Aiming Down Sights (ADS): When aiming down sights, the Peacekeeper's spread tightens, making it more effective at medium ranges.
- Choke Attachment: The Precision Choke hop-up can be used with the Peacekeeper, further tightening the spread and increasing damage potential over longer distances.
- Positioning: Given its high damage output at close range, players should position themselves in areas where they can engage enemies up close, such as inside buildings or around corners.
Understanding the balance between positioning, aiming, and timing can make the 70 Body PK an effective tool in any player's arsenal.
