Call of Duty: Warzone has a problem in solo rounds. Because currently, there are many heavy trucks of the type “Big Bertha” in the endgame – some players are now opting for such a truck first instead of the best weapon. Find out here what makes these trucks so strong and what the community thinks about them.
What is it with the “Big Berthas”? Those who are currently playing solo rounds in Warzone have probably experienced the following situation: One moment you are cheerfully searching for big loot through the map Verdansk ’84, and suddenly a heavy truck of the type “Big Bertha” comes roaring towards you, and before you know it, you’re flattened by that truck.
While you are still half-dead on the ground wondering what the hell just happened, the truck driver casually climbs out of the vehicle and finishes you off.
That’s why the trucks are so popular
The advantages of the trucks: The “Big Bertha” has been around in Warzone for a long time, but currently, the trucks are particularly favored. The advantages – especially in the early game – are obvious:
- At the start of the game, you often have no optimal loadout, so a vehicle that takes out the opponent with a single ram attack comes in handy
- The trucks are extremely difficult to destroy; you either need well-placed explosives or a rocket launcher to take them out.
- You can shoot the driver with a clean shot from the driver’s seat, but you need either a lot of luck or to be a marksman.
- Some players equip their trucks with a Trophy System, which offers additional protection against explosions. This makes the trucks even more powerful!
Therefore, many players particularly seek out the trucks in solo play and hop behind the wheel of a “Big Bertha” right after landing. This already annoys many players in the early game, but now it drags on into the endgame, where entire convoys of “Big Berthas” roll around in circles, leading to absurd truck crash derbies.
The embedded video from Reddit shows such a situation:
Big Bertha is “like a cult” for fans
What does the community say? Opinions are divided regarding the trucks. Some players are happy about the easy kills that can be achieved as a martial trucker. As Reddit user All-Bizness says: “For us Bertha drivers, it’s like a cult […], a lot of 80s music, trophies, and incredibly furious death screams from the headphones.”
Other users don’t see it so lightly and would like a few changes. Among other things, it is being demanded:
- The Trophy System should not provide additional protection
- The trucks should no longer perform one-hit kills
- Fewer hit points for the trucks
Some users even demand that trucks be completely removed from solo rounds, stating that the game is more like “Verdansk Truck Simulator” than Warzone, as User xEu20Matar on Reddit writes.
What are your experiences with the “Big Berthas” in Warzone? Are you part of “Team Bertha” and enjoy flattening your opponents under weighty trucks while listening to 80s music? Or do you prefer Warzone as a game that focuses on exciting shootouts and not on who gets a truck first and runs over everything? And did you know that there was once a death truck in Warzone that devoured innocent players?
