Call of Duty: Warzone temporarily suspends the Reclaimer 18 shotgun. The popular Modern Warfare 3 weapon has been disabled, with limited explanation from developers. This action follows player speculation regarding a potentially overpowered "glitched" blueprint version.
The Reclaimer 18, a semi-automatic shotgun inspired by the SPAS-12, is a notable addition to Warzone's extensive arsenal. However, integrating weapons from various Call of Duty titles presents balancing challenges. Warzone's vast weapon pool, constantly expanding with new game additions, requires ongoing maintenance to prevent overpowered or malfunctioning weapons.
The sudden removal of the Reclaimer 18, announced via official channels, has prompted diverse reactions. While some players applaud the temporary disabling of a potentially game-breaking weapon, others criticize the delay, particularly given the weapon's inclusion in a paid Tracer Pack. Concerns about unintentional "pay-to-win" mechanics due to the allegedly glitched "Inside Voices" blueprint have also surfaced. The dual-wielding capability enabled by the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts is another point of contention, sparking debate about its impact on gameplay balance. The developers have not yet provided a timeline for the weapon's return.
