The Wingman<\/strong> is one of Apex Legends<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 only single-fire weapons outside of shotguns<\/a><\/strong> and sniper rifles, and it has been a weapon of choice for tons of professional players ever since the game\u2019s initial release. The Wingman is a high-risk risk high-reward weapon; its high damage output and slow rate of fire means that while in the right hands, the weapon is a force to be reckoned with, but missing your shots will significantly reduce your damage output. Paired with the recoil, bullet travel time, and bullet drop in Apex legends, it becomes increasingly difficult to land your Wingman shots in longer distance engagements.

While it is a difficult weapon to master and is substantially less forgiving than options such as the R-301<\/strong> or the Flatline<\/strong>, the Wingman is undoubtedly worth running as your primary if you can get comfortable using it. Besides its high damage output, the Wingman also boasts the movement benefit of falling under the \u201cpistol\u201d category; this means you will receive no movement penalty while ADSing, contrary to any other weapon class.

That fact alone gives the Wingman a huge advantage. Movement is a crucial part of Apex Legends, and being able to strafe faster as you ADS makes it much easier to avoid getting hit while using the Wingman and makes it the perfect gun to jiggle peek with from behind cover. Furthermore, the Wingman boasts a 2.15x headshot multiplier, which can be further increased to 2.5x if equipped with the \u201cskull piercer\u201d hop-up attachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This featured task<\/a><\/strong> will equip you with a single-fire handgun customized to emulate the Wingman through a unique recoil mechanic. You must shoot at a set of horizontally strafing targets while adjusting your crosshair placement to compensate for the aforementioned recoil. The task following this article is designed to train you to land those clean wingman shots while moving, against moving targets while adjusting for the weapon\u2019s substantial kick. Focus on tracking your targets accurately before taking your shots and chaining those clean shots together as quickly as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
