Warzone Gamers Urge Changes to Lethal Equipment After Nerf Proved Ineffective

Players of Call of Duty: Warzone are once again urging for a revision of the gas grenades, citing that recent adjustments have not sufficiently mitigated their disruptive effects in the game. Concerns have risen as many players find these grenades to be a source of frustrating “cheap”kills on the battlefield.

Throughout the history of Warzone, various weapons and equipment items have been labeled as problematic, with several notorious examples like the DMR and the MAC-10 Gallantry blueprint. The developers have taken significant measures to balance gameplay, rolling out multiple nerfs in hopes of reducing the dominance of these overpowered elements.

The Ongoing Gas Grenade Dilemma

The gas grenades, specifically highlighted during the integration of Black Ops 6, have emerged as a pressing concern. Although they received a nerf in the Season 2 update, many players believe these changes did little to alleviate the issue.

Players are advocating for a system where gas grenades also affect teammates, thereby preventing players from spamming them without consequence. As one player expressed, “They need to change it so that throwing gas affects your teammates too, because right now you can just spam 3 or 6 gas grenades and have your teammates clean up. Super cheap… or at least buff smoke some more again to counter it.”

Moreover, another player remarked, “The ‘nerf’ did nothing. They still hit through walls, tick damage is still high, movement slow.” This sentiment reflects a broader frustration within the community regarding the current state of gas grenades and their overwhelming impact on gameplay.

Suggestions for adjustments have surfaced, with some players proposing that the effects of gas should only kick in after a brief exposure period, allowing for a more balanced gameplay experience. As one player noted, “It should only cause health ticks and the blurry vision and slowed movements to kick in AFTER you’ve been sitting in the gas for like 3 seconds or a few ticks, not immediately.”

With the recent Season 2 launch taking place at the end of January, the community may have to remain patient until the mid-season update to see if these appeals will be addressed by the developers.
