Call of Duty: Warzone Temporarily Deactivates Reclaimer 18 Shotgun
The popular Reclaimer 18 shotgun has been temporarily removed from Call of Duty: Warzone, with developers offering little explanation. The sudden removal, announced via official Call of Duty channels, has ignited speculation amongst players.
Warzone boasts an expansive arsenal, encompassing hundreds of weapons from various Call of Duty titles, including the recent Black Ops 6. This vast selection presents balancing challenges; weapons designed for one game might prove overpowered or underpowered in Warzone's diverse environment. Maintaining balance across this extensive library is a significant task for developers.
The Reclaimer 18, a semi-automatic shotgun inspired by the SPAS-12, is the latest weapon affected. The official announcement simply stated its temporary deactivation "until further notice," providing no details on the reason or return date. Originating in Modern Warfare 3, its popularity in Warzone has seemingly led to this unexpected removal.
Reclaimer 18's Unexpected Absence
The lack of explanation has prompted widespread conjecture. Some players suspect a problematic "glitched" blueprint, potentially making the weapon excessively lethal. Videos and images circulating online appear to support this theory.
Player reactions are mixed. Many applaud the developers' proactive approach to addressing potential imbalances, even suggesting a review of the Reclaimer 18's JAK Devastators aftermarket parts, which allow dual-wielding and significantly boost the weapon's power. While some players fondly remember the akimbo shotgun builds of past games, others found them frustratingly overpowered.
However, others express disappointment, arguing the removal is overdue. Since the problematic blueprint, "Inside Voices," is exclusive to a paid Tracer Pack, players claim the situation unintentionally creates a "pay-to-win" scenario, highlighting the need for more thorough testing before releasing such content.
