12 bullets in the wingman is so terrible, needs more bullet drop at distance, and needs higher damage drop off at distance, making it a hand cannon but not a sniper cannon. The wingman is ridiculously over powered and in no way shape or form should a pistol be more powerful than any other gun in the game. Get three shot with full purple shields from 300 meters out. That should happen with a sniper not a pistol. Fix it asap or this game is complete trash forever.

I understand the hipfire nerf on weapons like the Wingman but I think you need to unnerf it a bit because it's almost impossible to hit someone that's standing a foot away from you even though your barrel is rubbing against their nose, using ADS at that range is giving the enemy a free kill so it's best to hipfire but unless you're using a full auto weapon your odds of hitting anything seems too heavily dependent on RNG. Keep the current inaccuracies at mid to long ranges but have a higher chance of hitting if the target is within a few feet please, never fired a real weapon but I assume they're more reliable than the guns in the game

Lower the damage. It’s absolutely ridiculous doing 45 a pop across the map. 7 shots with no reduction in speed to another shot. With an extended mag and it’s reload speed being really quick. Doesnt make any sense. It’s completely broken. It’s like an AUTO SNIPER machine gun. Either lower the damage to or increase the ratio time of next bullet. Same crap with the peacekeeper. Lower it’s range. It’s a shotgun for crying out loud. You can be doing 100+ damage like 10-20 yards away. PS you reduce the Spitfire damage by 30%. Now the gun is complete trash. You cant do stuff like that. The game needs much work.

Yyyyyyup. Haven't played for about 3 weeks and the wingman still hasn't been touched. Best players are still using it, the worst players are still using it, everyone still using it. The single worst part about this game, if we're not going to count the fact that its still laggy as hell all the time and the hit reg is balls.

Hi, the Wingman has had a pretty significant nerf to "magazine" size, you can check out the recent changes here: https://www.google.com/search?q=current+time+et&oq=current+time+et&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.2223j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

EA_David - The nerf to magazine size is a start but extended mags are far too easy to find to make a difference. I come across tier 3 (purple mags) all the time during my playthroughs. Plus on the initial drop 4 bullets is fine because it outputs a lot of damage to players with low tier Armour. Also, the gun reloads fairly quickly making the 4 bullets not a big issue.I believe the devs should focus on the fire rate (think of the hand cannon from fortnite). This would help balance the amount of damage the gun outputs per shot. Currently, the Wingman can fire off shots at a quick pace. With the fast fire rate, amount of damage and range combined makes this weapon a little too strong.

Fit needs fixed you can shoot the whole clip at some one right in front of you and maybe hit them once

I agree and disagree with this. The wingman is very overpowered weapon when you hit with it, but that's the thing.. its REALLY hard weapon to constantly hit somebody with. Specially in long ranges its hard with the bullet drop. Maybe i could cope with the damage drop in long distances as you're right.. in the end its a pistol, but if you touch at medium distances (50-150m) you risk of making that gun the worst in game. It needs that high damage effect to be useful and i don't feel like wingman should be treated like a close quarters pistol as its so hard to aim with + the fire rate is very low. Its the medium range which makes it good, so please whatever you do DO NOT touch that range.

@Rouni_99Plus, even using it at longer range is difficult, as the most you can get on it is 2x,
I’ve tried to snipe with it, it is very difficult.

@Pretzelnutcake There is zero penalty with ADS on all pistols in the game. If you are not ADS with a pistol, you are using it wrong...

@Sir_Named Maybe for you.. But its really not that hard. Use the gun long enough, understand its bullet velocity, and you can place your shots pretty easily with a 2x or even iron sights (do it all the time) I hate this gun. It needs a bullet velocity nerf, needs to be slower so long range shots are MUCH harder even after getting used to it.
