Warzone Weapon Disabled Following Exploitation

Call of Duty: Warzone's Reclaimer 18 shotgun temporarily disabled. The popular Modern Warfare 3 weapon has been removed from the game "until further notice," with little explanation from developers.

The sudden removal has sparked player speculation, with theories ranging from a "glitched" blueprint version, the Inside Voices, exhibiting unusual effectiveness, to concerns about its balance, particularly when used with the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts enabling dual-wielding. This configuration, while nostalgic for some, proved frustrating for many due to its overwhelming power at close range.

Player reaction is mixed. While some applaud the developers' swift action in temporarily disabling a potentially overpowered weapon, others express disappointment, citing the late intervention and the implication of unintentional "pay-to-win" mechanics given the Inside Voices blueprint's inclusion in a paid Tracer Pack. These players argue for more rigorous testing before releasing such content. The situation highlights the challenges of balancing a vast and constantly expanding weapon arsenal in Warzone, particularly when integrating weapons from various Call of Duty titles.

The Reclaimer 18's return remains uncertain, pending further investigation and adjustments by the developers.
