Call of Duty: Warzone temporarily disables the Reclaimer 18 shotgun. The popular Modern Warfare 3 weapon has been removed from the game "until further notice," with no specific reason given by developers. This action follows player speculation regarding a potentially overpowered "glitched" blueprint version of the shotgun.
The Warzone arsenal boasts a vast array of weapons, leading to occasional balance and technical issues as content from various Call of Duty titles is integrated. The Reclaimer 18, a semi-automatic shotgun inspired by the SPAS-12, is the latest to encounter such problems.
Player reactions are mixed. Some welcome the temporary removal, particularly citing concerns about the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts, which enable dual-wielding and significantly enhance the weapon's power. Others express frustration, arguing that the issue, potentially linked to a paid Tracer Pack, constitutes unintentional "pay-to-win" mechanics and that more rigorous testing should have been conducted prior to release. The lack of transparency surrounding the disabling of the weapon has also fueled some discontent. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges developers face in maintaining balance and stability within Warzone's extensive weapon pool.
