EA Nerf Wingman pls

@Sir_Named But the drop is consistent that you could practice it in the range, so it is not a big problem if you really practice hard.

For the 2x scope of wingman, it is far enough for it to make this weapon good. 36m-100m is not a snipe range, and only a few weapons are good to equip a 3x or higher scope among all LMGs/ARs (like G7, although I think it should be a sniper instead of AR). Most weapons are fine when they have a 2x scope at that range. Wingman has its advantage against SMGs/pistols that have a 36m headshot damage falloff, and LMGs that have ~60m headshot damage falloff. Yea, it is hard to land a shot if it is really a sniper range, however to land a shot at ~40m is not as hard as people's thought, especially if you are a wingman main player.

@Alphabets DPS is not the only factor to show which weapon is OP. Lets see the old PK, which has only 88 DPS and we think it is broken while the joke mozabique has a higher DPS than PK (~95.25), yet we said this is a joke weapon.

One headshot of wingman can change the output of the fight directly, especially all other close-ranged weapons lost their headshot damage at a distance. One less shot is required to down a player if a headshot landed in almost all situations when using wingman, and this is the advantage of wingman which does not loss its headshot damage in all distances.

The battle pass skin may be a reason for the increasing number of player using wingman, but this problem (no damage falloff) always exists since the wingman is introduced, and I am not the first person who pointed out wingman should add a damage falloff like other guns.

If I need to improve my playstyle, I would act like the guy on top :"I stop fighting because I KNOW I will lose. I leave. It doesn't matter who it is". It is ridiculous for a pistol to win an AR while in a mid-range since this pistol can deal ~75 damage headshot (with helmet) to me even at that long range.

@Xx__Miku831__xX Well, if you are good and practice it really hard for a long time, then you probably become really good.
If you practice the Mozambique the same amount you could probably land 1 of the 3 bullets. That’s just being good at the game.

Most people don’t “main” a weapon, and are fairly flexible in what weapons they use.
40 m isn’t extremely difficult, but it isn’t sniping range, and you still have to have serious skill to use while strafing.
But this is the same argument I’ve made in previous posts.

@Xx__Miku831__xX The Mozam is extremely bad for anything other than point blank, thanks to the spread.
The PK was stronger than the Mozam because it had more range, you didn’t have to ADS, and was easier to use. The Mozam did have a higher dps, but you would need to hit all three shots and have hammerpoint in order to hit someone, and I guess nobody really tried it.

@Sir_Named Then back to the beginning question again, why wingman is so unique that only this gun does not lose headshot damage beyond 36m while other SMGs/Pistols does? If you said since it is hard to land a headshot, then it is the same with the RE45 and the mozabique.

Wingman, or pistols, they are not supposed to fight long range, just like the SMGs. They took away the 2-4x and 3x scope from the SMGs, as people spam shots in long-range in season 2, that makes ARs pretty useless at that moment. Now it is almost the same for wingman, with much more advantage to fight in short range, and it still have good chance to win in the battle that beyond 36m (supposed that you have similar skills to the opponent). Not only you can deal full headshot damage to the opponent when shooting from a long range, but you can
also spam shots since it has a lower bullet consumption among all other guns. This shows that wingman really needs to change.

@Sir_Named I wouldn't say that, I would say 80% of my deaths are to the R99. Maybe that's just what I get killed by and not everyone is the same but in most games all I hear is brrrrrrrrrrrr spraying R99's.

@xx_Dante2k_xx
(That was a response to my thing about not “maining” a weapon, right?)
Other than recoil, there isn’t much to it, and the Prowler is similar in dps and stuff.

@Xx__Miku831__xX Probably doesn’t lose headshot damage at 36+ meters because it’s a hand cannon.
ARs are still very useful.
The Wingman isn’t forgiving if you miss shots, plus they did reduce the mag a while back.
But I seriously don’t feel like continuing this. We’re going in circles. I’ll check back some other time, or @ me if you have anything new.

@Sir_Named But it is way less common to see and isn't a weapon that is over used.
Wraith = Sweat.... R99 = sweat it's all Apex is atm .
