Call of Duty: Warzone Temporarily Disables Popular Shotgun

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 "glitched" blueprint version impacting game balance.

The unexpected removal of the Reclaimer 18, a semi-automatic shotgun inspired by the SPAS-12, has generated mixed reactions. While some players applaud the developers' proactive approach to addressing potential imbalances, others criticize the timing, particularly concerning the Inside Voices blueprint, a paid item potentially creating a "pay-to-win" scenario due to its alleged overpowered nature. Concerns have also been raised about the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts, which enable dual-wielding of the Reclaimer 18, significantly enhancing its effectiveness. The debate highlights the challenges of maintaining balance in a game with a vast and constantly expanding arsenal. The developers have not yet provided a timeline for the shotgun's return.
