Call of Duty: Warzone's Reclaimer 18 shotgun temporarily disabled. The popular weapon, introduced in Modern Warfare 3, has been removed from Warzone until further notice. The official announcement lacked specifics, prompting player speculation regarding the reason for its removal.
The vast Warzone arsenal, constantly expanding with weapons from new Call of Duty titles, presents ongoing balancing challenges. Integrating weapons designed for different games can lead to overpowered or underpowered results within Warzone's unique environment.
The Reclaimer 18's temporary disablement is attributed by some players to a potentially "glitched" blueprint, impacting its effectiveness. Videos and images circulating online seem to support this theory, highlighting the weapon's unusual lethality.
Player reaction is mixed. While some applaud the developers' proactive approach to addressing potential imbalances, others express disappointment, particularly concerning the timing. The Inside Voices blueprint, featuring the allegedly glitched version, is part of a paid Tracer Pack, leading to concerns about unintentional "pay-to-win" mechanics. Some players also suggest reevaluating the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts, which allow dual-wielding of the Reclaimer 18, enhancing its already considerable power. The debate highlights the complexities of balancing a constantly evolving arsenal while maintaining fairness and player satisfaction.
