TheApex Legendscommunity is rather passionate and creative. The most recent example of this involves a real-life replica of one of the most beloved weapons in the game. Respawn Entertainment is known for is weapon design–andApex Legendsmay be the best example of this–and now fans are getting in on the action as well.
Apex Legendshas a bevy of powerful weapons, and one of the favorites is the Wingman pistol. Although it takes a steady hand, the heavy ammo sidearm does deadly damage. It also looks quite unique, making it a gun that fanatics would be happy to have as a collectors item. With that in mind, one fan recently made their own version of the pistol.

Reddit user u/purehjeffs just uploaded an impressive post on the r/apexlegends subreddit. The fan created an accurate life-real version of the Wingman, one with lights, sounds, functionality, and even a phone charger. One must bevery dedicated toApex Legendsto capture all of the intricacies of the Wingman’s design, and it appears u/purehjeffs is just that.
The incredible Wingman replica has moveable parts, giving it a very accurate feel to theApex Legendsversion. By pulling the trigger, the hammer slams down, and the replica makes the firing sound from in-game. By sliding the reload button, the Wingman partially detaches, just like it does in-game. The same reload sound fromApex Legendsalso is played. The cylinder can even be pulled out to recreate the full reload animation.
Along with the look and sound of the gun, there is an LED light that indicates the amount of bullets still in the weapon. With each pull of the trigger, that number decreases. Once the reload animation is complete, the number resets back to 6. The final touch of the replica is that it also doubles as a phone charger, which is an ability that anotherstunning Wingman replicafrom last year had as well.
Apex Legendscontinues to be one of the more popular titlesin all of gaming. The battle royale continues to evolve, and the fan base has grown along with it. The creativity of the game is one of its selling points, as everything from the Legends to the weapons all appear to have their own distinctiveness. It makes sense that fans would start to create replicas of the guns, just as the game also has a very strong cosplay community.
Apex Legendsis available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
