Summary
- Call of Duty: Warzone may revert to its original loot system with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 integration, with backpacks being abandoned.
- Considering the complaints about people ignoring the purpose of backpacks to just stash more armor plates within them, and the issues players have with navigating the backpacks, this leaked change has been met with praise.
- Additionally, leaker BobNetworkUK has said that a Wildcards feature could be added to Loadouts, with one of the Wildcards allowing 8 attachments per weapon for increased build diversity.
Call of Duty: Warzone's controversial loot system could be returning back to its roots as a new report reveals that the game is all set to get rid of the backpacks with the integration of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Initial looks at Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 suggest that the game could be incorporating features that will mark a major turning point for the franchise's multiplayer, but it seems like some crucial changes are also coming to Call of Duty: Warzone once it launches.
When Call of Duty: Warzone was originally released, loadouts were pretty straightforward. Players could only have a set amount of guns, armor, gadgets, and lethal equipment. The developers added a new feature with the release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, as players could also add additional items to their backpacks. This could be anything, from armor plates to ammunition and so on. While the extra items can be saved for later, players can also share them with their teammates, which can be a game-changer. However, there are some downsides to the backpack mechanic in Call of Duty: Warzone, such as players using it to hoard armor and it being tedious to navigate.
Call of Duty Datamine Hints at Next Big Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Crossover
According to new information uncovered by data miners, Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 are about to get a major crossover.
In a new tweet, prominent Call of Duty leaker and dataminer BobNetworkUK reveals some pivotal changes that will be coming to Call of Duty Warzone with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. As per the leak, Call of Duty: Warzone could go back to its original loot system when the new game is integrated. That's not all, though, as the Wildcards feature will also be added along the way if the leak proves true, which could significantly shake up the Call of Duty: Warzone meta.
Call of Duty Warzone Fans Are Divided Over Wildcards Feature
While details on all the Wildcards are not available, the leaker does reveal an interesting one. Apparently, players will be able to have eight attachments on a weapon, which in turn will allow players to have a lot more flexibility with each of the guns. Fans are a bit divided on this feature. Some think that it could make guns from Modern Warfare 2/3 much more fun and possibly bring them to a level playing field with the arrival of new weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, though others worry about balancing.
However, the changes to the loot system are something a lot of fans are happy about. While the backpack system in Call of Duty: Warzone may have tried to add a strategic layer to the game, most of the time players ended up using it for armor plates, which killed the entire purpose of the mechanic. With the loot system possibly going back to its roots, players will have to be careful about their resource management, making matches more tactical once again.
