Call of Duty: Warzone's Reclaimer 18 shotgun, a semi-automatic weapon introduced in Modern Warfare 3, has been temporarily disabled following issues related to balance and glitches. The announcement, made via official Call of Duty social media channels, has sparked speculation among the player community. While the developers have not provided specific reasons for the weapon’s removal, rumors suggest that a "glitched" blueprint version called Inside Voices, which appeared abnormally lethal, could be the cause.

The Reclaimer 18, known for its powerful performance, became even more formidable when paired with the JAK Devastators aftermarket parts, allowing players to dual-wield shotguns. This combination led to a surge in "akimbo shotgun" builds, which some found overly powerful and frustrating to deal with in gameplay. Players use the boosting services cod bo6 best provided by U4gm to skip tedious in-game tasks.

While many players welcomed the temporary removal, some criticized the decision, particularly since the Inside Voices blueprint was tied to a paid Tracer Pack, raising concerns about "pay-to-win" mechanics in the game.

This move follows an earlier nerf to the Reclaimer 18 in October, which was part of an ongoing effort to balance weapons in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3. However, many players felt that the nerf had not sufficiently addressed the shotgun's dominance, and frustrations over the weapon’s performance continue.

Beyond weapon adjustments, Warzone players have voiced their frustration with various glitches affecting the game. Issues like losing Skill Ratings (SR) in Ranked Play and cheating have also plagued the game. Recent reports reveal that the anti-cheat system, Team RICOCHET, has been actively banning cheaters, but the problem persists. In response, some players have called for more comprehensive measures to address these ongoing issues, even suggesting that the game should be temporarily disabled until cheating is fully addressed.

As Warzone continues to evolve, players can expect further updates and changes as Raven Software works to balance new and existing content. However, the temporary removal of the Reclaimer 18 shotgun highlights the challenges developers face in managing an ever-expanding arsenal while maintaining fairness and balance in the game.
