In Call of Duty: Warzone 2 there is currently a very special perk that is causing quite a stir. “Draufsicht” or “Birdseye” does not work as intended and ensures that players are virtually always informed about the position of their enemies.
What happened? The Birdseye or Draufsicht perk currently dominates the Warzone, even though it was only rarely played until recently. This perk regularly informs you about the position of enemies nearby.
Unlike in Verdansk or Caldera, players in Al Mazrah can only choose their perks from pre-made combinations. This was supposed to ensure that the gameplay becomes more balanced. However, some bugs meant that none of the perk packages worked correctly. These errors were only recently fixed.
Since the update, Birdseye now dominates the loadouts. This has caused a lot of frustration for some Twitch streamers and content creators. DrDisrespect rants about all shooters but praises one: ‘The hardest game with really good players that I have ever played’.
But even regular players are upset about it. The perk is so strong that you are at a significant disadvantage if you do not use it.
You want to try a new weapon in CoD: Modern Warfare 2? Then here are 3 tips for quick leveling:
Draufsicht regularly reveals the position of your enemies
What makes the perk so strong? The Draufsicht perk zooms out your mini-map. This gives you a better overview of the action. Additionally, it reveals the direction of your enemies’ movement when you activate a UAV or radar pings. This way you can accurately estimate which corner the enemy squad will appear from and counter your opponents optimally.
However, the perk can do a lot more than what’s stated in the tooltip. It ensures that every time an enemy activates a UAV or radar, you are similarly shown the position of enemies. Just as if you had a UAV active yourself.
This gives the Draufsicht perk an enormous advantage. You practically always have a drone available.
Developers want to investigate the perk – Fix with one of the next updates
How are the developers responding? Infinity Ward has recognized the problem with the Draufsicht perk and added it to their Trello board. The entry reads: ‘We are aware of an issue with the Draufsicht perk. It does not function as we intended in Battle Royale.’
There are no further details available. It is therefore not entirely clear where the error lies or what the developers are investigating. The developers do not provide a timeframe for when they plan to fix the error. At least the entry on the Trello board allows players to monitor the developers’ progress.
Since Season 2 is set to launch in February, it is likely that the perk will be revised as part of this major update.
