Implement a loadout-previev to Mixtape-matches

For me it´s a daily hunt for matches where the Wingman is put into the loadout (I´m on my way to master it to at least lvl 100).

But somehow Apex seems to be fooling me:

Match 1: TDM (no Wingman in the loadout)

Match 2: Control (no Wingman)

Match 3: Lockdown (no Wingman)

Match 4: Back to Control (again no Wingman)

Where the f*** is the Wingman when you need it? Statistically it should appear in one of the named modes but it doesn´t. They have nerfed the gun to death and now they even make it as rare as possible in the Mixtape-modes.

At least put a loadout-preview above each mode so that we (who prefer using a special kind of weapon) can choose whether to join a match or not.

Would be very helpful...

    How is the distribution of loadouts generally decided by the game?
    Does the loadout-composition also change when the map is changed? Is it completely random? Is it time-dependent?

    My matches today:

    Control: No wingman
    Lockdown: Wingman
    Lockdown: No Wingman
    TDM: No Wingman
    Control: Wingman
    Control Wingman
    TDM: No Wingman
    Lockdown: No Wingman
    Control: Wingman
    Lockdown: No Wingman

    @W3stminst3r Strange... I was playing ranked earlier today and came across a Wingman almost every single match and when I played mixtape a few weeks ago, the Wingman was in rotation.

    This is like needing a weapon and a hopup, (such as the Prowler and Select Fire, when that was a thing). You would either find 3 Prowlers or 5 Select Fires. Very rarely did I find both.

    The best thing you can do is to focus on another gun because somehow that other gun would magically disappear and then you should be able to find the Wingman. That's what I do whenever I can't get the weapon I'm wanting to use.

    Sounds like a plan - but I fear it doesn´t work that way.

    I mean: Today it was the same for me.
    I joined a couple of Mixtape-matches - Lockdown has obviously gone - and I found no! Wingman at all.
    Control = 4 matches, TDM = 2 matches, back to Control = still no Wingman.

    I think Respawn must hate the gun so much - first it was nerfed to death and now it can barely be found in the rotations.

    @W3stminst3r its a good idea, but for me it would allow me to choose my weapon before the match gets started,  as i seem to be a bit slow on the off with everyone on my team ahead of me no matter how fast i try to be in choosing my weapon.

    Again it´s one of those days:

    TDM: No Wingman
    Control: No Wingman

    Control: No Wingman

    TDM: No Wingman

    But what you see is a million Akimbo-users.

    And since they kicked Lockdown out of the rotation, the probability of finding a Wingman is again reduced.
    They nerfed it to death - then they made it a rare weapon so that noone can use it.
    Man: They have to hate this gun!
