The Reclaimer 18, a fan-favorite shotgun in Call of Duty: Warzone, has been temporarily taken out of the game by its developers. The news broke via the official Call of Duty: Warzone social media channels, leaving players curious about the reasons behind this sudden move.
Call of Duty: Warzone boasts an extensive arsenal, thanks to the continuous integration of weapons from new releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This vast selection offers players a wide range of loadout options. However, integrating weapons from different games, such as Modern Warfare 3, can lead to balance and technical challenges. Developers face the ongoing task of introducing fresh content while ensuring the stability and relevance of existing items.
The Reclaimer 18, introduced in Modern Warfare 3 and inspired by the real-life SPAS-12, is the latest weapon to face issues. According to the official Call of Duty Updates social media, the Reclaimer 18 has been disabled in Warzone "until further notice." The announcement lacked specifics on the cause of the disablement or a timeline for its return.
Reclaimer 18 Shotgun Temporarily Disabled in Call of Duty: Warzone
With scant information provided, the Warzone community quickly began theorizing about the sudden removal of the Reclaimer 18. Some players pointed to a potentially "glitched" blueprint, Inside Voices, sharing clips and screenshots that showcased its extraordinary effectiveness.
The community's response to the announcement was varied. Many players supported the developers' decision to temporarily remove what they perceived as an overpowered weapon. There were also calls for a reevaluation of the Reclaimer 18 JAK Devastators aftermarket parts, which enable dual-wielding of the shotguns. While this feature brought back memories of the powerful "akimbo shotgun" builds from past games, it was also seen as frustrating by some.
On the other hand, some players expressed frustration over the timing of the action, arguing it was too late. They highlighted that the Inside Voices blueprint, part of a paid Tracer Pack, could be seen as an unintentional "pay-to-win" element. These players felt that more thorough testing should have been conducted before the Tracer Pack was released in the game.
