The release hype for Call of Duty: Warzone is over, and players are demanding the first concrete changes to the Battle Royale. Among them is a simple mechanic that is quite normal in the competition – dropping weapons.
What is being requested? To support their teammates in Call of Duty: Warzone, some players are urging the ability to drop their weapons.
This simple mechanic is quite common in other Battle Royales and, according to some players, should also be available in Warzone. Three threads on Reddit have emerged on this topic in recent days, gathering over 8,000 upvotes and 500 comments combined (March 23, 11 AM).
Give us an option to drop a weapon from r/CODWarzone
Since there are very good options to re-enter after death in Warzone, many players want this feature, especially in advanced stages of the game. This way, returnees can safely grab a powerful weapon from their teammates.
Players want to give their teammates weapons
How is it now? Currently, to drop a weapon, we must pick up another one. Not always is one readily available, and the reentering player first has to find something suitable.
In the later course of the game, this can prove difficult. Many houses and common loot spots have already been looted, and valuable time is wasted searching for a fallback weapon.
Why isn’t this in Warzone? This can only be speculated. However, the developers deliberately opted against a few features to make the game faster.
Thus, despite a wide arsenal and customization options, we cannot modify the weapons found during the ongoing round. The Warzone sacrifices complexity in favor of beginner-friendliness. And for those who still want customized weapons, they can be requested through loadout drops. In our tips for Warzone, you’ll learn why this is so important and how the equipment drops relate to the 3 best items to buy.
Will there be a change? It remains to be seen how the Warzone developers will respond to such requests. It would be a small “quality-of-life” change, but the creators had their reasons for the current features. In the coming weeks, we will see if such demands find a hearing.
Due to the fierce competition, in the form of Fortnite, Apex, or even PUBG, the developers should pay close attention to the mood within the community and not take such “small matters” lightly. Adjustments cannot be ruled out.
Which weapons work well in Warzone? Currently, the AUG with the 5.56 conversion kit delivers strong performance. However, other calibers can become team killers in the right hands. Check out our guides to the CoD Battle Royale and increase your chances of victory:
