Wingman feedback

The wingman is too strong. It has low recoil a high rate of fire and can literally destroy anyone. I have been playing this game since day one and recently I have noticed  that when i get down to final two some one on the other team always has a wingman. this thin does 101 Damage a head shot and even more with the hop-up. it is starting to take over the game and may want to be investigated. I have Shroud (Michael Grzesiek) who claims to have assisted with some of the testing in this game even say that the gun needs nerfed. its all that people are using and i am about to stop playing because of it.

    Twitch streamers, YouTubers, players....  everyone that speaks about the gun is in agreement that the Wingman is a cheap weapon that needs nerfed.  Really surprised to see some people on this thread think it's okay at its current state but that may be because they favor OP hand cannons?  I honestly wouldn't mind the Wingman getting a hug nerf in terms of damage and/or fire rate.  As a revolver 6 shots should be its max.  If magazine expansion's a must why not limit damage with mag size?  Revolvers in general have smaller caliber sizes as you move from 6 to 8 shots.  12 is absolutely crazy.


    Well said sir!

    now brace yourself for all the kiddos who think they are super talented and everyone who wants nerf just can’t ADS....

    No kidding.  If the problem was people's inability to aim down the sights then they'd be complaining that the gun's hip fire needs buffed.  The topic is the combination of its stupid high damage, fire rate, and mag size.  Snipers are seemingly worthless because of this very issue but that's for another topic. 

  • Interesting, and here I thought the hemlock had significantly less recoil than that. I guess I've just been compensating with it naturally. Hemlock is still beast though, flatline could use some love to bring it in line with the R301 though.

    The wingman's ADS accuracy is about where I expected it to be though, moving and spam shooting this gun is pure * aids. The sad thing is that you don't even have to be a good player to use the wingman because you can hipfire in the general direction of the enemy and still kill someone, and if your placement is even somewhat decent and you can keep it around their upper chest then you just win fights you have no right winning. It's the ONLY gun in the game that rewards bad aim, shotguns don't reward people as much because of the pellets.

    The Wingman needs to GO!! Make it an airdrop only, limited to 8 bullets. It is stupidly strong!

  • Mentioned the below in a new thread and I'll mention it here.

    You still move at insane speed while ADS.

    It does almost as much damage as the Longbow with a bigger clip, faster fire rate and no attachment requirements for accuracy.

    Incredibly accurate while spamming.

    Reload speed is close to the fastest in the game.

    No ammo requirement whatsoever.

    No damage dropoff and insane headshot range while increasing headshot damage with Skullpiercer.

    It can have the relatively easy to find Digital Threat 1X on it.

    At least half of that needs to be gutted. I've met my fair share of Deagle heroes in Global Elite back in CS:GO but it wasn't even remotely as disgusting as this, nor as common. Besides, you 1-tapped them with an AK47 all the same. Not that I want other weapons to be buffed to the Wingman level in a Battle Royale style game. Low TTK is better, so gut the damned thing.

    Airdrop only seems like a very viable solution.

    Indeed I consider anyone using a wingman to be cheating. The gun is completely OP

    Totally agree in a party I’ll use to help make sure my team wins.  If I’m running solo no thanks.
