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.
The sudden removal has sparked player speculation, with many pointing to a potentially overpowered "glitched" blueprint version of the weapon, Inside Voices, as the culprit. Videos and images circulating online appear to show its unusually high lethality.
Player reaction is mixed. Some applaud the developers' swift action to address potential balance issues, even suggesting a review of the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts that allow dual-wielding of the Reclaimer 18. This dual-wielding capability, while nostalgic for some, has proven frustrating for many players.
However, others criticize the late intervention, arguing that the issue, stemming from a paid Tracer Pack blueprint, inadvertently created a "pay-to-win" scenario. These players believe more thorough testing should have been conducted before the Tracer Pack's release. The absence of detailed explanation from the developers further fuels this frustration. The situation highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing new and old content within Warzone's vast arsenal.
