- @V0LIVA Wingman is a crutch weapon that almost every player uses as a sniper rifle due to high dmg output, almost no bullet drop, one can stack a bunch of heavy ammo, recoil is ridiculously low for a "revolver" type weapon.
To fix it remove hop-up, reduce damage, increase recoil and bullet drop. @V0LIVA shotguns can literally 2 tap for up to a 120 per shot....tripletake like up to 110 per shot ...its not the wingman thats OP its all the other guns that are trash...exept for shotguns they are just OP af.
Imagine one clipping a red shield with a stock r99...oh wait you can't well yes the wingman goes 3 tap but the mastiff and the pk go 2 tap and you don't even have to be super accurate with shotguns.
I play mastiff (or pk )100% of the time (its not even fun) you can 2 tap everyone in a squad without reloading.
You say nerf wingman while the rampage (up to like 50 bullets per mag) deals 20-40 damage per shot with literally double the fire rate?
...you need a purlpe wingman and 100% accuracy + godlike headshot aim to one clip a team or you take the rampage and go brrr and after you killed the squad in 30 shots you can dump another 20 bullets in their deathbox...
I agree, wingman is pretty ridiculous.
I decided to finally use it despite hating that everyone uses it, and my goodness...the spray and pray over 200-300 yards hits a third of the time... is there auto aim on this thing?
It seems wrong that it can do both long range and short range easily, and hit like a truck.
I'm going to use it every round now, because that's the only way to compete.

The wing man is fine. Although the headshot multiplier in my opinion is a bit much and maybe they could drop the mag size by 1 bullet to balance.

In my opinion the wingman is too strong at distance.
In close combat u need skill to kill enemys using r99 or r301, shotguns as a wingman user.
But at distance if you are lucky you kill ppl rly fast, with cheats + wingman = unstopable.
How to fix it:
Lower the dmg the wingman does but only at distance.
Until 10m range, dmg is equal than now.
10-20m, lower the dmg from 100 to 90%.
20-50m, ....from 100 to 80%....
And so on.
Wingman would still be a good weapon but not too strong at range as it is now.
If you like to do dmg at range, take a sniper not a wingman.
In CC , skill > weapon and not wingman > skill > weapon as it is right now.
Nerf this hard.
in higher level areans, a lot of teams mostly go wingman because THERE IS NO BETTER GUN FOR HIGH END PLAYERS
Literally just got on here for this very reason. The wingman is absolutely broken. Make it a care package weapon, or nerf it into the <> ground! Whats the logic behind this overpowered handcannon??? Hell, we might as well just start giving our soldiers magnums, because obviously they do more damage than assault rifles. The current state of the game is absurd. It's all anyone ever uses in Arenas. If this is not patched in the next season, I'm done with Apex. It's not worth the frustration.

9/10 people in arenas use wingman.
That alone should be an indication of how broken it is in mid and close range.

i cant hear this <> sound anymore.... this Weapon make me sick and i dont understand wth you didnt nerf or remove it faster from the game...
Wingman is the stupiest weapon in the game, much more than the ramp+thermite g......
balance your game, at the moment it is only crap!
in the last 3 hours i played , 90% i died from a player with a wingman...
+ in Apex are so many aimbot user they play with wingman so play your <> game by your self perhaps u get it by your own....
