Summary
A newCall of Duty: Warzoneplaylist update disabled the controversial Maelstrom Dual Trigger attachment for the Lockwood 300 shotgun. The update brought relief to manyCall of Duty: Warzoneplayers on social media, since the attachment was capable of giving other players an unfair advantage.
Season 1 Reloaded ofWarzoneis underway with a new Gulag Public Event, Champion’s Quest, two new weapons, and so much more. Although the Reloaded update added a slew of new content, the update’s launch on January 17 was mired withtechnical issues and bugs inWarzone. TheCall of Dutydevelopers quickly worked to remedy the problems affecting both games and offered compensation in the form of double XP tokens forModern Warfare 3andWarzone. Some issues still lingered for some time after the Reloaded update was released, including the troublesome Lockwood 300’s overpowered Maelstrom Dual Trigger attachment inWarzone.
Call of Duty Update Disables the Controversial Lockwood 300 Attachment
A new tweet from the official Call of Duty Updates Twitter account confirms a minorWarzoneplaylist update is live with the sole purpose of disabling the Lockwood 300 shotgun’s Maelstrom Dual Trigger attachment. This attachment allowedthe fan-favoriteModern Warfare 2shotgunto deal more damage than originally intended, with some players noting that it’s capable of making Lockwood 300 rounds pierce through armor plates for one-shot kills. Players may still equip the attachment on the shotgun, but it will perform like the default trigger attachment for the time being. TheCall of Dutydevelopment team did not give an estimate for when a hotfix would arrive, butWarzoneplayers on Twitter are satisfied with the attachment being disabled for the foreseeable future.
This is not the first time that the Maelstrom Dual Trigger attachment has been disabled inWarzonedue to its overpowering damage potential, however. TheDecember 19 update forWarzonealso disabled the attachment, but the attachment was re-enabled not long afterward. The latest update should serve as another temporary reprieve for those who were on the receiving end of the shotgun inWarzone, but fans will likely want an explanation for why this issue is reoccurring.
It’s clear that there are still issues that need to be fixed inModern Warfare 3andWarzonefollowing the Reloaded update’s launch. WithSeason 2 ofCall of Dutyon the horizon, the developers could be preparing additional bug fixes and changes to alleviate the problems that players have been facing recently. Season 2 is expected to release in early February, so players can expect official details soon.
