New Apex Legends update buffs Gibraltar and Caustic, nerfs Wingman further

Respawn Entertainment launched a new update yesterday for all Apex Legends players with minor but numerous changes to rebalance characters as well as some weapons such as Wingman and Longbow

While Gibraltar and Caustic have received a remarkable buff to compensate their players for large size, The G7, TripleTake, and Longbow snipers received positive improvements, especially the Longbow, while Wingman and Spitfire fans will find themselves disappointed with the nerf of these two heavy ammo weapons Which will make them less deadly.
