Call of Duty: Warzone temporarily disables the Reclaimer 18 shotgun. The popular Modern Warfare 3 weapon has been removed from the game "until further notice," with no specific reason given by developers. This has led to player speculation, with some suggesting a problematic "glitched" blueprint version as the cause.
Warzone's vast arsenal, encompassing weapons from various Call of Duty titles, presents ongoing balancing challenges. Integrating weapons designed for different games can result in overpowered or underpowered performance in Warzone's unique environment. This necessitates constant adjustments by developers.
The Reclaimer 18's removal follows reports of a potentially overpowered "Inside Voices" blueprint, which allows dual-wielding via the JAK Devastators attachment. While some players welcome the temporary disable, viewing it as a necessary step to address balance issues, others express frustration, particularly those who purchased the Inside Voices blueprint. They argue that the issue constitutes unintentional "pay-to-win" mechanics and that more thorough testing should have been conducted before the blueprint's release. The debate highlights the complexities of maintaining balance and fairness in a game with such a diverse and constantly evolving weapon pool.
