Wingman ——> Wingsad:(

Ok devs 

you can probably guess what this ones about. My beloved wingman that was so incredible at the beginning of the game is now trashed by the ammo nerf you gave it. Not to mention all of the other side nerfs along the way since game launch. After speaking with multiple community players everyone of us have agreed that the wingman was a victim of noob bashing because of course the new player base didn’t have anything better to do than to complain about a weapon that was killing them, when the fact of the matter is the r-99 was always a more competitive choice than the OG wing-a-ling.i promise that the fortunes of those who complained haven’t improved much since then. The only difference is that now they are getting dookied on by a havoc or r-99 instead. I have two points to make here Respawn. 

A. Buff the wing man to former glory (minus the 99 damage headshots) 

B. Don’t nerf a weapon into the ground simply because children complain. Variety of approach is what makes a game great. Giving player valuable options to compete with makes the game feel fresh and prevents people from being forced to use whatever the “meta” of the time is. Please do us a solid and think about it. 

Thanks!

    Eh, I dunno. I think Wingman is pretty balanced right now. Four rounds early game so you can melt through level 1 armors but not level 3, so if someone finds that when they drop, just hope you have found at least a lvl1 extended heavy mag.

    The wingman right now is not meant to be picked up early game. It's more like a ''I'll hold this lvl2 ext light mag for an R99'' or ''I'll hold the Select Fire for a Prowler'' kinda deal. It's meant to be powerful mid-late game when you're unloading your bullets at a distance, as well as a powerful sidearm when you run out of ammo in close combat.

    TLDR: Don't pick it up early game, pick it up once you have found ext/sights.

  • What are you on about? The wingman is still an overpowered gun the moment you find a heavy mag. Nothing about it has changed for the better really.

    Ok green fellow I pray for the day I see you in the field rocking a wingman while I have a r-99 or r-301.

    Try a wingman vs a pathfinder right now. the hitbox is basically non existent/the bullet travel of the wingman feels horrible. tell me you still pick up that wingman after that fight. Wingman is next to the trash mozambique for me. id pick up almost anything over a wingman. And this is coming from someone who's favorite gun when i started was the wingman. LOL

    Wingman is still absolutely beast, it's just not endgame-ready unmodified, as it shouldn't be.  The Peacekeeper however...

  • The Wingman...A fast 6 shot pistol that rewarded player for accuracy and shot placement to -> A slow rare 4 shot pistol.... Please un-Nerf
