Why the massive discrepancy/exceptions for some weapons? (Also hitboxes)

Look, I'm aware that there's probably 10 topics about what I am about to share but nothing really provides a definitive and objective perspective to this lack of balance within the game which makes t...

@ShaoAZ ARe you on console or PC, the wingman has a fairly wicked kick up and if you spam fire it as fast as possible you will be shooting over the heads of your enemies if you don't take that into account.

I agree it's a good gun but it's a difficult gun for most people to use. It comes no place near a 99 or volt in CQC I have tried to use the wingman vs a volt or 99 and it's only effective if the enemy is horrible at recoil control with the 99 or volt. You will get melted instantly before your wingman can do much.

@DarthValtrex I've never really noticed a kick to the wingman when firing consecutive shots in quick succession, if im aiming upper torso and do this it'll generally remain as upper torso shots. I think the difficulty in this weapon where people struggle is

a) the hit reg seems weird at times.

b) the players own ability to track a target whilst maintaining fire.

What I would say about this gun compared to others is considering how large the hipfire reticle is, it doesn't actually reflect on just how accurately this gun can be hipfired, especially with the newest hop up which is highly underrated and as far as i'm concerned more useful overall than SP's.

If you're playing pathfinder for example with the wingman in hipfire, your grapple reticle might aswell act as ADS as you can hit with some serious accuracy close range.

@MandatoryIDtag You might be right, I just know that you have to some what slow down when firing it for the gun to be effectve. I don't know how to describe what slow down is and have always blamed it on the animation of the gun kicking up a fairly large amount.

I agree the SP is just not worth it. The benefit received from the SP does not outweigh the benefit received from the quick draw. The quick draw improvement to the gun might seem minimal but it's beneficial every time you use the gun. Where as the SP is only beneficial if you land headshots.

I like the gun most of the time.
