Respawn discusses plans for hitboxes, Apex Legends update nerfs Wingman and Peacekeeper
Today Respawn has released the very first significant balancing patch for Apex Legends, an update that carries tweaks which are meaningful to two of the most powerful guns in the game, the Peacekeeper and the Wingman, and which lays out a plan for changing the various hitboxes of three characters. The big takeaways from this update of Apex Legends:- 1. The Wingman now fires very slowly and is much less accurate when hip firing (“Our adjustments are attempting to move it into the hand space cannon and away from full auto Deagle.”) 2. The Peacekeeper rechambers much less quickly based on the equipped shotgun bolt. 3. Both the Peacekeeper and the Wingman spawn less frequently. 4. Caustic’s traps are a bit more heavily equipped and powerful. 5. Energy ammo is much more abundant. 6.
