Apex Legends devs rush out Wingman nerfs just 2 days into season 20, to players’ delight

One of many Apex Legends players’ biggest season 20 complaints has quickly been remedied today, with the Wingman’s Digital Threat sight removed and its ammo pool nerfed, much to the fanfare of pros and other players.

Many fans noticed the Wingman change while watching North American ALGS scrims, which happened in the middle of the scrim session being streamed to thousands of Apex viewers. The Wingman’s Digital Threat sight, which enables the user to see enemies through smoke screens like Bangalore’s tactical ability and Caustic’s gas, was removed in favor of a 1x HCOG sight, with the changes also seeing the care package weapon’s ammo reserve depleted from 110 bullets to 90. After some confusion, Apex weapons designer Eric Canavese formally announced the nerfs were intentional on Twitter/X shortly after the hotfix went live.
