    @Ghost99ZuluSkullpiercer increases headshot damage. So let's compare pre s5 Wingman and the new Wingman(or the old Wingman).

    Note:- All calculations done when the player isn't wearing any helmet and doesn't take into account fortified/low profile debuffs and doesn't include fraction damage values.

    S4-
    Headshot multiplier- 2.1
    Headshot dmg=45x2.1=94(45 is base body damage here)

    S5-
    Headshot multiplier-2
    Headshot dmg=45x2=90

    With skull piercer:
    Headshot multiplier-2.25
    headshot dmg=45x2.25=101

    The difference between s4 wingman and s5 wingman(with skull piercer) is = 101-94=7 dmg

    It just has a slight headshot dmg increase(7 dmg to be exact). Nothing else was changed. It might feel like it's OP cuz a lot of people have started using it after the patch(my personal observation).

Wingman is OP when someone has aim.

Honestly, the gun has always been fine since the removal of original skull piercer.  You should use it, really, is the point, if you nab yourself a gold skullpiercer.

On the other hand, Longbow with skullpiercer is generally so beautiful you're going to have to find yourself 2.

Can't wait for WE to come back, when aiming will really separate skilled players.  But if you get yourself killed a lot by Wingman, don't be too upset.  The other guy's good enough to kill ya, that's really all there is to it.

    You can tell which players aren't veterans. 🙂

    @Ghost99Zulu  You would have loved the original wingman. 😛

      Lol trolling on here is funny. I would wipe you up and down the board, no offense. I've been playing since the first week it was out...

        @Ghost99Zulu  None taken,takes more than some petty flexing to phase me bud!

        Seeing as you've been playing since week one though surely you remember the original wingman....which was considerably stronger  overall than this current version. :,)

        Bottom line, the wingman isn't OP.

    @KelRiever every weapon in the game is good when someone has aim, Wingman is in a good spot now imo
