EA Nerf Wingman pls

Wingman is always OP in these seasons. High damage, no damage falloff and suitable for all range combat. Wingman is just a PISTOL, so please at least add the damage falloff like other guns. And in...

@Xx__Miku831__xX A quick little update to this btw. (Just tested due to time on my hands)

Standing as far back as I possibly could, these guns did not lose HS damage :

Light Guns : R301, G7
Heavy Guns : Wingman, Hemlok, Flatline
Shotties : Peace Keeper
Energy Guns : Havoc
Snipers : all snipers

That is quite a fair amount of guns even if not counting the snipers. Meaning that Wingman isn't so unique after all in terms of no damage drop off. 😉

@HLNorsemaneYea, actually all ARs and snipers do not loss headshot damage in a distance (I remember ARs are 300m, while Snipers are 500m, but those are miracles if you can hit their heads when they are moving)

PK, like what I said before, EA just put it into care package and they marked this as solved. The uniqueness of wingman is that it has advantage of ARs/LMGs to fight in a close distance, but it still deal as much damage as them when fighting at medium-long range as it does not loss its headshot multiplier like the ARs. As a result, wingman can be used as AR to fight in this distance, but they have advantage against them in short-range battle. This leads to few people to choose AR, while more people will choose wingman.

For the R-99, I think it is fine in game but I think there will be an attack speed nerf if many players still think it is overpowered. Nerfing its attack is not impossible as this will lead to a purple mag R99 cannot kill a caustic with red shield even ALL the bullets are hit without headshot.
