Hold onto your helmets, Legends! The infamous Wingman, a weapon so powerful it could make a P2020 blush, has been taken down a notch. It seems the devs heard our cries of anguish as we were repeatedly laid to rest by its merciless firepower.
Just days into Season 20, Respawn Entertainment dropped the hammer on this pocket-sized powerhouse, much to the relief of countless players who’ve faced its wrath. But let’s take a moment to reminisce, shall we? The Wingman, a relic from the days of Titanfall, has been a staple in our arsenal since the dawn of Apex Legends. From the thrill of those early battles to the hair-pulling frustration of being one-shot by a pro marksman, the Wingman has seen it all.
Yet, in a twist of fate, this once-beloved sidearm became the bane of many a Legend’s existence, morphing into a beast of ungodly proportions at the start of Season 20. It’s like it hit the gym during off-season and came back with biceps the size of Gibraltar’s shield. And let’s not forget the digital threat optics debacle – when SMGs lost their ability to equip them, the Wingman seized its moment to shine even brighter.
But fear not, fellow Legends, for Respawn has heard our pleas and delivered justice in the form of a nerf. No longer will we cower in fear as the Wingman rains down terror upon us. Well, at least not as much terror.
Ladies and gentlemen, grab your digital pitchforks and rally ’round the respawn beacon, because Respawn Entertainment has finally heeded our cries! In a move that’s sure to spark both jubilation and mourning among Apex Legends aficionados, the mighty Wingman has been taken down a peg or three.
In a tweet that shook the very foundations of the Outlands, Respawn dropped the bombshell: the Wingman, that devilishly accurate peashooter, has undergone a makeover of nerf-tastic proportions. And oh boy, did they lay down the law!
First off, they snatched away our precious ammo reserves like a Graviton Surge gone rogue. Say goodbye to 110 rounds of winged justice, because now you’re stuck with a measly 90. Two whole magazines lost in the blink of an eye! But wait, there’s more – the Boosted Loader attachment, that trusty sidekick granting faster reloads and magazine growth, has been sent to the retirement home for overpowered accessories.
And if that wasn’t enough to make you weep into your shield cells, brace yourselves for the final blow: the once-ubiquitous 1x HCOG optic, beloved by Wingman wielders everywhere, is now locked and loaded, never to be dropped again. It’s like losing your favourite heirloom skin, only worse.
Apex Legends Nerfs the Wingman
- Ammo reserves reduced from 110 to 90
- Boosted Loader removed
- Can only use 1xHCOG optic
- Optic can not be removed
Sure, the Wingman will still pack a punch in a skirmish, like a Rampart turret on steroids, but let’s face it – without that digital threat optic, it’s about as useful as Crypto’s drone in a closed room.
And don’t even get me started on the reduced ammo reserves – it’s like Pathfinder trying to fit into Wraith’s hitbox, you’ve got to be more conservative with your shots than Lifeline with her healing drone.
But hey, it’s not all doom and gloom! Maybe this nerf will spice things up like a Mirage decoy dance party, or maybe we’ll need to call in the big guns for more radical adjustments. Only time will tell, Legends, so buckle up and brace yourselves for a meta rollercoaster ride like no other!”
This lightning-fast nerf means we’ll see more tweaks coming down the pipeline faster than Lifeline can pop a shield cell. Brace yourselves, fellow Legends, because if Respawn’s as speedy as Octane on his stim, we might see other weapons getting a makeover quicker than Pathfinder finding his next zipline!
But let’s not forget about the other kids on the block – Season 20 already gave the 30-30 Repeater a good ol’ nerfing, while the EVA-8 Shotgun got a boost and a one-way ticket to the care package. It’s like a buffet of changes, and we’re all just Lifelines at the end of a grueling match – hungry for more!
So strap in, Legends, because Season 20’s shaping up to be a wild ride. Here’s hoping these changes make for a more enjoyable experience than a Wraith portal glitching out on us – fingers crossed!”
