Call of Duty: Warzone's Reclaimer 18 shotgun temporarily disabled. The popular Modern Warfare 3 weapon has been removed from Warzone until further notice, leaving players speculating about the reason.
The official announcement, made via Call of Duty's social media, lacked specifics. However, player theories abound, with many pointing towards a potentially game-breaking glitch affecting a specific blueprint of the weapon. This speculation is fueled by online videos showcasing the Reclaimer 18's unusual effectiveness.
Warzone's vast arsenal, constantly expanding with new Call of Duty titles, presents ongoing balancing challenges. Integrating weapons from different games, such as Modern Warfare 3's Reclaimer 18, sometimes leads to unforeseen issues.
Player reactions are mixed. While some applaud the developers' swift action in temporarily disabling a potentially overpowered weapon, others express frustration, particularly regarding the timing. The controversial "Inside Voices" blueprint, an exclusive part of a paid Tracer Pack, is suspected of being the source of the problem. These players argue that the issue constitutes unintentional "pay-to-win" mechanics and that more thorough testing should have been conducted before the Tracer Pack's release. Concerns have also been raised about the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts, which allow dual-wielding of the Reclaimer 18, creating a highly potent, albeit nostalgic, weapon configuration. The debate highlights the ongoing tension between balancing gameplay and delivering new content in a constantly evolving game environment.
