Call of Duty: Warzone's Reclaimer 18 shotgun temporarily deactivated. The popular weapon, introduced in Modern Warfare 3, has been disabled "until further notice" due to unspecified issues. This unexpected removal has sparked debate within the player community.
The vast Warzone arsenal, constantly expanding with additions from new Call of Duty titles, presents ongoing balancing challenges. Weapons designed for other games sometimes prove overpowered or unstable within Warzone's environment. The Reclaimer 18's temporary removal highlights this ongoing struggle.
The official announcement offered little explanation, prompting speculation about the cause. Some players suspect a problematic "glitched" blueprint, possibly offering unfair advantages. Videos and images circulating online appear to show the weapon's unusual effectiveness.
Player reactions are mixed. Many applaud the developers' proactive step to address potential imbalances, even suggesting a review of the JAK Devastators attachment, which allows dual-wielding of the Reclaimer 18. However, others criticize the delayed response, arguing that the issue, particularly concerning a paid blueprint, created an unintentional "pay-to-win" scenario and should have been identified before release. The lack of a concrete timeline for the weapon's return further fuels this frustration.
