Call of Duty: Warzone's Reclaimer 18 shotgun temporarily disabled. The popular weapon, introduced in Modern Warfare 3, has been removed from Warzone without specific explanation. This unexpected removal has sparked player speculation and varied reactions.
The official Call of Duty announcement offered little detail beyond stating the Reclaimer 18's temporary unavailability. This lack of transparency fueled theories among players, with some suggesting a problematic, potentially "glitched," blueprint version as the culprit. One such blueprint, "Inside Voices," has been highlighted in player discussions, showcasing its seemingly overpowered performance.
Community response is divided. Many players voiced approval, supporting the developers' decision to temporarily address potential balance issues. Some even suggested reevaluating the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts, which allow dual-wielding of the Reclaimer 18, creating a highly effective, albeit controversial, combat strategy. While some players fondly remember similar "akimbo shotgun" builds from previous games, others found them frustrating to encounter.
However, a significant portion of the player base expressed dissatisfaction, arguing the removal was overdue. The "Inside Voices" blueprint's exclusivity to a paid Tracer Pack raised concerns about unintentional "pay-to-win" mechanics. These players emphasized the need for more rigorous testing before releasing such potentially game-breaking content. The temporary disablement highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing new content with existing gameplay in Warzone's vast arsenal.
