Still waiting for a Wingman nerf
Long over due, it's the best weapon for aim assist players, just fire in the general direction, it hits...
Forum Discussion
@dioangel Out of interest mate, have you ever used a wingman with AA yourself or is this purely from a k&m perspective?
I only ask because this is one of the least used weapons you see amongst average skill players on console, which considering our AA is stronger that's pretty telling.
Don't get me wrong, it will help somewhat having AA with this weapon but it still takes practice to use it effectively.
Before you just dismiss this as "console player talking crap" I play without AA so I've seen the difference first hand.
I AM THE WINGMAN NERF!
Cause when I use it on controller on PC, I can't hit a building with it...
I am using controller on PC. There is AA, but there is less.
None of the AA in this game compares to Destiny 2 though. Which is why it's a Shotgun/Hand-Cannon meta in PvP there.
The Aim Assist non-argument is not even worth engaging with.
However, yes, Wingman and PK are some of the more powerful weapons in the game right now. Honestly I'd always rather see other weapons buffed as I'm sick of super soaker 300 bullet mentality.
Still, with the imbalance, some weapons are always at the top of the meta. Wingman, to me and as already mentioned, takes aim so if you got killed by a Wingman, chalk it up to yeah, you deserved to die. Probably because the other person was better than you.
If you die to a PK, your mistake is likely you got too damn close. You should expect to pay that price sometimes if you are unlucky, but most often if you weren't paying enough attention.
Buffing other weapons would help, however. Only last season's gold Re-45 competed in the pistol, and with this season's shortage of shotguns (not to mention the purple choke being in the replicator bin much of the time), you're going to get a lot of PK to the face. People aren't really onto Mozzy with hammerpoint still for some reason, but PK is an obvious shotgun choice.
I would learn to fight against these two guns and use them yourself, rather than being married to whatever you are using. It's what's good. There are other good weapons too, but not all of them ...
