@TheKingJoker8I know tis a tad late but it was way "worse", it has been nerfed already y'know and truefully didn't agree to it back then to it too.

It's a skill ceiling weapon and a high caliber weapon thus dealing high damage i think it's in a good spot and should rather be left alone rn, you have no idea what storm you'll unleash when nerfing it again :>

Use it, learn it and get comfy with it and you'll see yourself it's not easy to get all the potential out of it when compeeting against Rifles, Shotguns or whatever.

@NitoTanaka It needed a nerf. Once you reach that skill cieling and you're popping shots off like nothing, then it losses it's downside. It's essentially a fast firing longbow in pistol form with less range, less drop, and more dps. All it takes is one bullet to deplete somebody's shields.

If you ever get into a close encounter scenario with another enemy, try hipfiring with it and you'll see just how mindless it can sometimes be.

  @Dragadur You are very wrong.
  Wingman loses close range against smgs and shotguns.
  And it loses mid to longrange vs scout and 30/30 and nemesis
  
  So why exactly pick it now ? The only reason is that it can do everything decently but nothing very good… it’s barely used now for a reason

    If you're losing against everything with a wingman, that's not a weapon problem, that's a skill problem
    Keep in mind that most players are running with blue and purple shields with the occasional red shield here and there. You can potentially down all of them with a base mag. Smg users have use more than one clip with a base mag, shotguns are immensely slow without a bolt, and 30-30 has to charge up to get around the same damage a wingman deals out.
    Also I completely disagree about it being barely used. I see it all the time, usually in the hands of sweats running the car or 99.
