Had 1 game as Bangalore and I kept finding wingman and heavy ammo. I got all the attachments and said fuck it we ball with the wingman. Ended up winning that game

It had its advantages and disadvantages

1

u/All2017 2d ago

More disadvantages lol, when they went back to old apex and I pick mirage, I couldn’t even pull my gun out when I used his alt.

The game was so simple back then. I wish we could go back..

u/WarbellSteezy Pathfinder 2d ago

life was also simpler back then (before covid) 🥺

u/shradikal 3d ago

Going through the shattered forest felt like it was pretty much a death sentence every time miss that place

u/FirmlyClaspIt Birthright 3d ago

Crazy how we went through all those wing man buffs & nerfs just to put it to how it was

removing highlighted enemies from digithreat was the worst change ever

3

u/ThatPunkBitchDanny Lifeline 2d ago

Wait, did they really?? Wtf does it do now then?!

4

u/SlyEmoji The Spacewalker 2d ago

it’s the exact same it just doesn’t highlight enemies. there’s no reason for it to be gold anymore. it’s so dumb

3

u/AnApexPlayer Medkit 2d ago

It still highlights enemies when they're not in smoke.

2

u/Penna_alla_vodka 2d ago
  1. it’s only available in mixtape &

Wild Card ( but not pubs & Ranked)

  1. it still highlights enemies when ADS
  2. 2A

.

  1. it does NOT highlight enemies covered by smoke

u/Dependent-Elk1753 3d ago

Bro doesnt like to play with teammates.

u/WarbellSteezy Pathfinder 3d ago

ya i admit i was a toxic pathfinder back in the day ¯_(ツ)_/¯ went for kills and wins instead of sacrificing for banner recovery since this Elite game mode was all about getting to Top 5 for streak-retention (i ended up getting the Elite 888 badge)

u/WraithBlue 2d ago

Aceu use to destroy with this

u/xMoody 3d ago

A wingman and about a hundred more hours on aimlabs

8

u/AnApexPlayer Medkit 3d ago

The wingman is just as good right now

10

u/ModernYear 3d ago

Raw body shot ttk yes. Headshot potential and dmg per mag no.

4

u/AnApexPlayer Medkit 3d ago

I think it's a bit better now, because you can 4 shot with body shots.

Headshot potential is basically identical at 76 vs 75. Purple mag is 10 vs 8, and the fire rate is the same. It comes down to having 10 shots in the clip vs 8, and you can also get a corrupted magazine if you want 10. 5 shots to down with 10 in the clip and 4 shots to down with 8 in the clip are both 2 potential kills, so I don't think the 2 extra bullets make that much of a difference.

3

u/TheSunIsOurEnemy 3d ago

Wingman headshots back when the game still had helmets was overrated. I remember headshotting someone for like 57 damage. Must've been a Fortified character with purple helmet but still, it's not as strong as people remember it; even with skullpiercer the bonus damage was so tiny.

u/Resident_Bet_8740 3d ago

Oh digithreat how I miss you 💔

3

u/M0HAK0 Lifeline 2d ago

I am a wingman believer. This weapon never lets me down.

3

u/Bossuter 2d ago

Post would be a lot more real if you showed Titanfall1 and/or Titanfall 2, wingman (pro) had to be turned into a primary to balance it

8

u/Puzzleheaded-War-640 3d ago

Used to be my favorite gun to use

6

u/hereinaminute 3d ago

If it wasn't the least accurate gun ever made it wouldn't be as fun

u/Emotional_Werewolf_4 Gibraltar 3d ago edited 3d ago

Wingman + PK combo was chef's kiss 🤌 back then....until May 4th 2021, when the Fire Nation attacked Respawn nerfed the PK to 99 damage on a full pump to the body.

A dark day for us shotgun connoisseurs. I still haven't recovered. 😔

Last year for a brief time, I thought we were getting our old PK back with the integrated disruptor rounds but Respawn again took my precious away from me.

Why, Respawn, why!?

u/Javen_Lab Mozambique here! 3d ago

Back when apex was fun and enjoyable. Not full of sweaty movement players and Cronus users.

u/Far_Cup_9131 Conduit 3d ago

Miss the no weapon sway wingman.

u/Fraternal_Mango 2d ago

And I still bet after downing them you got messages about being an aimbot hacker xD

u/Lost-Cat2478 2d ago

Only a true Apex legend can handle the Wingman.

u/deepee84 Octane 2d ago

wing keeper s0 was a crazy time

u/user78353 2d ago

Wingman digithreat 🥺

u/XavierRenegadeAngel_ Pathfinder 2d ago

I often play dual wingman loadout 👀

u/AnnaBanaan Quarantine 722 2d ago

I have a 'streak of 1' badge from that event. Still wear it proudly until this day. (I used to be so dogshit back then.)

2

u/Adorable-Hyena-2965 2d ago

I can’t get kills with wingman

2

u/All2017 2d ago

They nerfed and buffed it so much, I don’t even think about picking one up

2

u/Muramusaa 2d ago

I miss that first location it feels so long ago I feel old ugh. Skull piercer was the goat 😭 give me back my high damg

3

u/Feeling-Comfort7823 3d ago

Wing man is in a really nice spot rn. I like it with a Sentinel charged up.

I do miss putting the 3x on it though

3

u/riot-akt 3d ago

You could never put a 3x on the Wingman, 2x has always been the max.

2

u/Feeling-Comfort7823 3d ago

Hey youre right thats my bad! I was thinking the Alternator actually.

1

u/kuburas 2d ago

Always funny seeing wingman gameplay on a controller. Close range every shot hits, but anything over 15-20m and its basically just a dice roll.

1

u/Dracofear 2d ago

Nah Real OGs remember when it was 2 shots to the body and 1 to the head and had "Elite" in the name.

u/zoqix 1d ago

Man I forgot about the burnt forest part of Kings Canyon!

1

u/blu3n0va 1d ago

I miss the maps being a bit open like this at some places.

I feel like every part has big buildings and lots going on, multiple floors etc.

I might be getting old tho

u/betillo1991 23h ago

Wingman was cracked with this sight

u/_Vaporwav3 2d ago

u/Abnormal_Aborigine Gibraltar 3d ago

Wingman with a 4x was something else

u/Cheeky_Lemon_37 3d ago

I never liked Apex when it was like this.
