Two things: Wingman Too Strong & Loot Doesn't Have Enough Guns

1. Wingman does way too much damage for its rate of fire. It should not have a better TTK than an Assault Rifle unless a headshot is dealt...

2. The loot has too much ammo to the amount of guns. When I landed one time, there was two~ guns in the whole area for (I believe) Mid-tier Loot area. That's ridiculous. That can't suit up a squad. 2 people at best.

  • 1. No, it's not. Other weapons deal far more damage. The gun is fine too be honest. 

    2. It's RNG, you just have bad luck. Sometimes I only find weapons and no ammo in 2 sections.

  • I disagree that its the damage of the wingman that needs a nerf. It's the easy-of-use that needs a nerf. Reduce the crosshair for it to a single small grey dot (what it was in titanfall 2). That's a sufficient nerf.

    1. No? 45 damage with its Rate Of Fire? That's 2 shots if one of them is a headshot and the guy doesn't have enough armor. 3 otherwise. Lower something about the gun, or make it harder to use or something. It's a jokingly strong gun right now. Explain why many kill leaders/people good at this game use the gun? Shroud, who's a CSGO pro player? Many people in my regular matches from what I see in my kill-feed?

    2. That's not a good balance system; 'you have to be lucky lolz'. Every location should have at least 3 guns and sufficient other resources.

  • If its so OP why not use it? Might be because landing shots with it are harder than with full auto? Skill should be rewarded.

    Expertly said. It takes precision to land shots with the weapon. Let an enemy zigzag and use an automatic and you're likely screwed. 

    A desert eagle in other games also hits hard .Why? Cause it's a desert eagle! Same concept here. This gun uses heavy bullets for a reason. 

     

    2) like @Schaapje1987 mentioned, it's RNG. I've had matches where I ran in 5 buildings only to find medpacks/power cells and other where in 1 building I find 3 guns... It happends

    So I'm bringing this topic back considering that nearly everyone is currently noting the Wingman being OP and should get nerfed...including high traffic streamers that are currently in the Code Red tournament or whatever...And I never really replied because this forum ate my reply claiming I wasn't signed in.

    I don't care for the Wingman -- I much rather use an auto gun (or even an actual long range semi-auto rifle provided it has a decent scope) considering I'm also better with auto or semi auto guns. That's why I don't use it. Again, it rivals a legitimate sniper rifle for body damage shots (Longbow 55 iirc, Wingman 45). That's stupid. You'll also notice in other games that Snipers can legitimately one-shot people or do far more than 55 damage. The deagle has its own spot around 50-100 damage (I don't recall damage numbers right now). So unless you wanna hard-core buff the sniper weapons to have one-shots to the body and up, the Wingman should get nerfed to a relative damage or at least nerf its reliability/use-ability.

    Deagles in other games also actually have kick-back or recoil, but in the case of this game, the ROF of this 'deagle' is increased to the point where it has much less kickback. There's literally no comparison other than having higher than average damage as a pistol. Plus -- you'll find a Wingman much more commonly than nearly any auto rifle or special gun in the game. The only few guns that might appear more are P2020s or RE45s...the less overpowered guns. Nerf its findability if you wanna keep its stats.

    Lastly - You can't just assume it takes a lot of skill to use when 80% of the great player population of this game claim it's overpowered. Even if I'm not the greatest player, BETTER PLAYERS are saying it's overpowered or way too strong, to the point that they're forced to use it or win less games without it. It isn't just me from what I see on the front page of this forum and in streamer chats/streamer talks about the game. It shouldn't be that when you don't pick-up this commonly found gun/op gun, you may as well be trolling.

  • I am sorry but the wingman is absolutely broken and takes zaro skill. The rate of fire is far too fast and people can suck at the game and kill anyone with it by just spraying in the body. 45 damage on a body shot is ridiculous with the rate of fire. Thats why every streamer is using the R99 and Peacekeeper now because literally everyone js tired of seeing the wingman. The people who say the wingman is skillful are just trash and are what the actual skilled people call “fake tryhards”.
