Wingman changes in Apex Legends

The Wingman does slightly more damage per shot, and its Skullpiercer headshot damage stays the same.

• Damage 48 → 50
• Skullpiercer headshot multiplier reduced to 1.92 (was 2.0): Skullpiercer headshot damage stays unchanged at 96

The Wingman fires slightly faster and can now take a laser sight.

• Slightly increased rate of fire
• Added laser sights as an accepted attachment

The Wingman hits harder per shot, but its base magazine holds one less round, and each magazine attachment tier holds one more than the tier below.

• Damage 45 → 48
• Headshot damage: 72
• Base magazine size reduced to 5 (was 6): With added magazine - White: 6, Blue: 7, Purple/Gold: 8

TipEach shot matters more now; manage ammo economy and prioritize landing precision shots over spam.

The Care Package Wingman carries less reserve ammo and can no longer use the 1x Digital Threat, but its optic can now be swapped.

• Ammo Reserves 90 → 72
• Can no longer equip the 1x Digital Threat
• Optic is no longer locked and can be replaced

The Boosted Loader hop-up for the Hemlok and Wingman can no longer be found on the floor or crafted.

Removed from floor loot and crafting bundles

TipPut crafting materials toward something the replicator still carries, and choose between two guns on how they handle unmodified.

The Wingman is back on the floor and now uses sniper ammo and magazines.

• Wingman returns to the floor.
• Wingman now uses sniper ammo and magazines.

The Wingman gets a higher headshot multiplier, so its headshots hit a bit harder.

Headshot multiplier 2.0 → 2.15

TipThe whole gain sits on headshots, so it rewards taking the extra beat to settle your aim. If you trade at chest height, your damage per shot is exactly what it was.

The Wingman deals slightly less extra damage on headshots.

Headshot scale 2.1 → 2.0

TipA multiplier change lands on shot counts, not on how the gun feels in the hand. Check in the firing range that a head-hit sequence still finishes a target, rather than finding out mid-fight.

The Wingman holds one more shot with no mag, but the rare and epic mags now hold fewer shots, so a better mag adds less than before.

Adjusted magazine sizes: Base 4 → 5

• Adjusted magazine sizes
• Base 4 → 5
• Common: 6 -> 6
• Rare 8 → 7
• Epic 10 → 8

TipAdapt your shots to your roll; base Wingman carries more, epic carries less than before.
