The current state of the Wingman needs to be addressed, and soon, because if it is not the player base will grow dejected and leave this game in droves.Currently it only requires 2-3 shots from a Wingman to kill anyone, even with Tier 3 Armor and Helmet. The problem with this is that the Wingman has no fall-off damage, making it a godlike weapon at all ranges.It's per round damage is too high especially for its fire rate, which makes it an even better close quarters weapon than the Peacemaker or even EVA-8.Couple this with the small hitboxes of characters like Lifeline and Wraith, and you suddenly have a meta of hard to hit characters with easy to hit weapons running around, devolving the game into a boring frustrating mess where you see no variation in the gameplay, thus making you feel forced to join them or call it quits and leave the game behind.I sincerely hope this issue will be addressed in the future by the developers, or I fear this game will slowly kill itself.Don't rest on the laurels of your success so far, Respawn.

wingman plus aimbots will definitely kill this game

The wingman is becoming a plague almost every squad is carrying one as a secondary now. There was more variety when the game first launched, now its r-301+wingman, peacekeeper+wingman, r-99+wingman of even seen people running double wingman.People who defend the wingman are the ones who rely on the weapon as a crutch.

Me: Complains about wingman + peacekeeper fervently so decides to use other guns to change it up. Places top 3 frequently. *Queues for another*Me next game: Picks up wingman first gun and peacekeeper 2nd. Out duels gold wingman, loots that. Wins game as kill leader (8) with 1500ish damage. Continues to complain about wingman + peacekeeper fervently.

If you can get headshots with the wingman constantly use it, if you get killed by people headshotting you with it move around more.

minus wingman and we are defently on track. wingman only needs a slight adjustment and it will be fine,
personally i dont use it. an LMG does the job better for me 😉

People hate the Wingman because you actually have to aim with it. I guess this hurts their pride everytime they get fragged by someone using a Wingman. Knowing that the opponent actually purely out-skilled you . The weapon scales with the player's ability to aim. Sure it is probably overpowered in the hands of a pro.Most precision based weapons are too strong when used by players with good aim. So I guess that means everyone should be running around with a shotgun or LMG? No thanks.

Yeah feels like the body shot damage is a bit mad, maybe keep the high headshot damage and dial the body shots back to 25.

Leave Wingman alone, buff all other handguns.
