Call of Duty: Warzone's Reclaimer 18 shotgun temporarily disabled. The popular weapon, introduced in Modern Warfare 3, has been removed from the game "until further notice," with no specific reason given by developers.
This sudden removal has sparked player speculation, with some suggesting a "glitched" blueprint version, potentially creating an unfair advantage. The "Inside Voices" blueprint, in particular, is suspected due to reported instances of unusually high lethality.
Player reactions are mixed. Some applaud the developers' proactive approach to addressing potential balance issues, even suggesting a review of the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts which allow dual-wielding of the Reclaimer 18. Others express disappointment, arguing the disabling is too late and that the potentially overpowered "pay-to-win" aspect of the Inside Voices blueprint should have been identified during testing before its release.
The vast Warzone arsenal, constantly expanding with additions from new Call of Duty titles, presents ongoing challenges for developers in maintaining balance and stability across various weapons and attachments. The Reclaimer 18's temporary removal highlights these ongoing efforts.
