Apex Legends: How to tame the Wingman pistol?

Respawn Entertainment develops a variety of weapons for Apex Legends, but not many as effective as the Wingman – if used correctly. The question is can you master Wingman?

Wingman in Apex Legends

In the early stages of the game, gun loot is like a lottery. You really don’t know what you’ll find when you land in King’s Canyon. However, if you can’t find Wingman early in the game, chances are you’ll find it later, sooner or later.

Wingman is a pistol that uses heavy bullets, with a very high recoil when fired. Therefore, many players are quite afraid of its recoil, but we still have certain ways to control it in gunfights.

Improve your Wingman shooting in Apex Legends

There are many ways to improve shooting with weapons in Apex Legends. However, Wingman has certain criteria that require you to adapt to shoot well.

YouTuber staycation posted a very useful video tip to help you improve your long-range and close-range shooting skills with the Wingman. The video shows two important points for improvement, as well as requires you to practice to shoot well.

Wingman’s recoil control

As mentioned above, Wingman recoils a lot, but we still have a way to control it.

Staycation states that the recoil will recoil the weapon upwards and to the right, when firing continuously. That means your first bullet will be accurate, but the subsequent bullets will miss the target.

Therefore, to control, you need to hover down to counter Wingman’s recoil – as the video above shows. Although it is quite difficult at first, practice will help you master this skill.

Mind follows the object

Sometimes, the gunfights are very chaotic. The sides jump wildly, from side to side and you can get caught up in its pace.

However, according to staycation instructions, sometimes standing still and being careful will help you to shoot accurate shots in such situations. This is very useful if you are shooting enemies that are moving at medium to long range.

During a gunfight at close range, it’s easier to shoot ‘centered’ with Wingman because the opponent’s range is quite close, making it easier to hit.

The above are two of the most useful gameplay that you need to adapt to use Wingman well in ApeX Legends. Hopefully this tutorial, as well as the video above, will help you win more in the future while holding the Wingman.
