Warzone Community Requests the Return of a Classic Verdansk Weapon

Fans of Call of Duty are fondly recalling one of the original weapons that made waves in Warzone back in 2019. The community is hopeful that this iconic weapon will make a comeback with the imminent reintroduction of the Verdansk map in the current year.

Since its launch in 2020, Warzone has undergone significant transformations, featuring a variety of weapons and gameplay elements from six different Call of Duty titles, following the integration of Black Ops 6. These periodic updates and integrations introduce a plethora of weapons, maps, perks, and vehicles, ensuring that Warzone continuously evolves. Each new iteration presents players with distinct metas and unique strategies.

As players gear up for the much-anticipated return of the original Warzone map, nostalgia has swept through long-time fans. Many players are voicing their wish for one of the game’s early meta-weapons to return in forthcoming updates.

The Legacy of Warzone’s Original RPG

A compilation video shared on Reddit on January 7 highlights the immense power of Warzone 1’s RPG. Players reminisced about the thrill of utilizing these explosives and expressed disappointment over the nerfs that diminished their effectiveness.

One Reddit user lamented, “One of the biggest downfalls in gaming history. Who knows why they changed what players loved.” Another user commented on the current state of the battle royale, stating, “It’s not a BR anymore really. People forget that weapons and explosives used to one-shot you; you’d have to play differently.”

Warzone 1 showcased a different dynamic compared to today’s iteration. A major distinction was the critical role of vehicles, making the Modern Warfare 2019 RPG an essential weapon for players aiming for swift squad wipes.

While some players attempt to replicate the RPG’s former supremacy in the current Warzone, several have remarked on its diminished power. One player noted, “[With] how nerfed rockets are, that you need to use an extra C4 to do the job,” underlining the challenges of today’s gameplay.

Although the developers have the capacity to enhance RPG effectiveness, it is apparent that a return to the original state of Warzone will not occur. The anticipated resurgence of Verdansk is likely to attract players eager to revisit the experiences of the game’s launch period. However, until that happens, Warzone has seen a decline in its player base, prompting discussions about its evolving gameplay frustrations.
