Shroud explains his thoughts on the Apex Legends Wingman nerf Twitch \/ shroudThe first major balance update for Apex Legends was released on March 6, with hot topics such as the Wingman pistol and hitboxes addressed \u2013 and streamer Michael \u2018shroud\u2018 Grzesiek has weighed in on the changes. Shroud was one of the many \u2018influencers\u2019 who participated in Apex Legends\u2019 development, helping Respawn Entertainment with various gameplay decisions, and is even credited with suggesting the predictive recoil system. He\u2019s also one of the best players, with his natural skill for FPS games on PC allowing him to excel \u2013 particularly with the so-called \u201chigher-skill\u201d weapons, namely the Wingman. The Wingman is a high-powered revolver, which rewards players who are accurate by dealing out 45 damage per shot to the body at all ranges \u2013 so you can only imagine what a player with such pinpoint accuracy like shroud can do with it. But has the March 6 nerf to the Wingman, which reduced hip fire accuracy and rate of fire, done enough? Shroud definitely doesn\u2019t think so, stating: \u201cI don\u2019t think they did anything really. That was not the right nerf. If they were going to nerf the fire rate, they needed to really nerf it, or don\u2019t touch the fire rate at all, and just nerf the damage. But, instead, they literally did nothing.\u201d While this was shroud\u2019s initial thoughts on the matter, he changed his tune slightly after getting a chance to extensively test out the changes. This was before I actually tested it.. fake news PepeHands, don’t trust these posts broyos pic.twitter.com\/l60egGCOO3 \u2014 Michael Grzesiek (@shroud) March 7, 2019 Later on in this same stream, shroud clarified that the nerf was actually better than he originally thought. Although this seems to be a topic of debate in the Apex Legends community, as some still feel that the nerf wasn\u2019t enough and the weapon is still a bit too strong. As for other changes, or rather lack thereof, shroud explains that Respawn\u2019s reluctancy to buff the Mozambique and P2020 (two notoriously weak weapons) is because they actually want some guns to be noticeably less powerful, to create a hierarchy of sorts in loadouts. There is still time for these changes to settle in, and Respawn will be monitoring all feedback as well as gameplay data in order to determine if these changes were effective or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
