Data miners say you're gonna get a mode with no loadout drops *eventually* . I think they just wanted a super simple casual system.

I’ll say it again. It’s loving absurd that there are 5 million gun attachments in the game and yet there is no point to looting anything ever in warzone. Loadout drops are stupid, the same five world guns are stupid. Why they didn’t copy weapon modding like Pubg is the worlds greatest mystery. It would actually be a good BR game if it was like that.

I'm actually kinda glad I don't have to hunt for attachments.

My friends and I usually play until we get enough for a loadout drop and then we get what we prefer. No need to hunt for specific scopes or stocks or whatever. Just loadout drop and yolo into fights.

Also, you can shoot them through the wall since you know where they are, whereas you might have had to open yourself up to fire if you wanted to hit them with a lethal.

Fine, I'll bite. Seeing as the Kilo is within a 50ms TTK of the M4, Grau, and M13 at most ranges in WZ, what many other options would you say it's outclassed by?

I like the Kilo and use it - it's good and it works just fine. You will lose more gunfights against M4s with it. I play the game to have fun and not micromanage my max efficiency though and the Kilo is fun. I also use the snapshot grenades.

When I have a series of bad rounds with the Grau, I switch to the M13, then the m4 and then the kilo and back to the Grau. Variety is the spice of life.

Addendum about Blackout and weapon attachments: I actually didn't mind the hunt for optimizing your weapon in Blackout but with the variety of different attachments I'm glad it's not in Warzone. I could see a system where you define your ideal attachments by weapon and attachment class (ie - you could have a preferred foregrip and preferred underbarrel launcher on a given weapon but you can only put one on) and then the loot you pick is just 'foregrip' or 'underbarrel' or 'barrel' for ext barrels. It would be cumbersome though so I'm fine with that not existing. It's an idea but not a good one.

Agreed, the idea of money in this game makes looting only useful for loadouts, UAV and revives.

The buy station creates a lot of action which makes finding people not a chore anymore.

Loadouts really cheapen the whole game and drops should be 100% random drawing from the vast array of unnecessary items the game has to offer.

I have fun playing warzone with a KD below 1 because of the loadouts/gulag/buybacks. If those weren't in, I would have stopped a long time ago. The fun part of COD is shooting mans with a gun that exactly fits your playstyle. The initial few minutes of world drop guns is the least fun part of the game for me, especially playing in mostly PC lobbies on console.

I would like perks to not be a part of loadouts but perhaps you can pay to respec them at a station.

I find I like just playing with guns I pickup anyway, mostly because I don’t have a lot of attachments to make good loadouts anyway.

Honestly that's why I play plunder, the whole loadouts vs looted weapons thing, and one death ruining the round isn't for me, which I realized in multiple battle royales before tbh. I only play regular Multiplayer now because endless Shipment playlists are extremely my poo poo.

White elephant loadouts. Make the worst loadout and curse competing teams with them. You can't swap out your joke loadout till the timer runs down.

So this is crashing way more often tonight than it has in recent memory - four times tonight alone, I CTD'd. It was mixed normal mult and WZ. Is this a patch related thing, or am I just unlucky tonight?

This.

WZ is great because conflict avoidance and looting aren't particularly emphasized.

IMO the fun part of the genre isn't looting, it's getting fights on somewhat random terrain at a variety of ranges against an unknown number of enemies.

I'd make free drops marked for everyone and make the drop happen at the buy station to add risk to using them though.

But I'm obviously biased towards forcing conflict.

Also not having people whining about who gets what scope or dicking around with their inventory is a billion times better than pubg

How did I not know there was a horn for vehicles key (Q), drat it amuses me too much to zoom around giving the occasional saucy beep.

I drove the heavy truck all the way across some airport tarmac towards a hanger with a team busy looting while honking ferociously and I still managed to run one of them over, it owned.

The other two set my truck on fire then gunned me down but totally worth it

Does that work for you? Do you mainly use it at closer range? I found that when I paired the 28 strand cable and 200lb arms the bolts were just super unreliable at mid-range. Any benefit from the extra velocity was lost with the fact that the bolt could easily just go wide and miss a well aimed shot at someone who was standing still. It made hitting moving targets almost impossibly unreliable because there's no way to account for whether or not the bolt is going to pull left or right.


I find the crossbow is no sniper rifle and I have trouble hitting target after 100m anyway. So the acuracy is less of a problem for me than leading ennemies with the super slow explosive bolt.
I'm not super good anyway and I don't think it's a super competitive gun, it's is simply decent and very fun to use.
Also it make a lot of people rage in their mic which is the icing on the cake.

Being able to keep the game interesting by doing missions that will ultimately help you find other teams to kill and scout out the progression of the round etc, all which reward you with money to buy extremely useful things is so much more interesting than running around and opening presents to try and find the perfect setup for most of the game. The fact that it's not hard to run around with your own personal preferred loadout is a massivly positive thing. And loot is not irrelevant, there are still frequently times when a good pickup will save your rear end and it's very helpful for anyone who hasn't leveled up guns much yet.

I'd honestly have a hard time playing any of the other BR games at this point. Warzone solves about 70% of the problems I had with the genre, although there can still be way too much downtime once in a while.

Excluding the Blackout paint can challenge (because let's face it, that was a trash challenge and doesn't count because you can gold a weapon without even picking it up) I got gold on my first COD weapon ever, the almighty PKM. I'm closest next on the MP5 (longshot and mounted) and Deagle (longshot). Slowly plugging away on Deagle longshots in pregame lobbies.

A bunch of perks have WZ specific uses but the problem is ghost is just so much better than every other perk in slot 2. Hardline and Pointman are only really useful if you're aggressively doing missions or buying a lot of stuff the entire game. Overkill is actually decent if your squad gets a quick loadout drop and you plan to pick up ghost off the 1st free drop (or keep yourself as UAV bait). High alert is fully countered by the most used slot 1 perk.

I think it would be cool if they tried a perkless loadout mode that doesn't change anything else.
