Streaming star Tyler "Ninja" Blevins is not very good at the loadouts in Call of Duty: Warzone. In his opinion, these can make the game annoying to play.
That's what it's about: Unlike other Battle Royale games like Fortnite or Playerunknown's Battleground, players in Warzone can not only find items at the various loot locations on the map and when enemies are killed, but also buy them at the shop stations. For 6000 in-game dollars, which is usually relatively easy to get together, you can have a complete loadout delivered here. In addition to fully upgraded weapons, it also includes perks – passive talents that make you stronger.
Ninja is bothered by that: Ninja published a post on Twitter complaining about the possibility of buying loadouts:
"Unpopular opinion: user-defined loadouts in Warzone = everyone has a sniper rifle with themed sight and there is so much less variety. It is annoying to be snipped by 30 people at the same time (…)"
Unpopular opinion. Custom load outs in war zone = everyone has a thermal sniper and there is so much less variety. Annoying getting sniped by 30 people and being thirsted from 400M away cuz some player has an HDR thermal 16x scope and kills me knocked.

Ninja receives prominent approval
His opinion doesn't seem that unpopular, however: Players like the Apex Legends professional Jack "NiceWigg" Martin agree with Ninja and say that the loadouts make the game much too camper-friendly and give high ground snipers too many advantages.
Kerryon Johnson, a NFL football professional and running back with the Detroit Lions, also agrees with Ninja and demands that Activision remove the loadouts from the game, as he believes they are ruining Warzone.
Told y’all …. TAKE THEM OUT … ruins the mode https://t.co/RGY83OuRsE

Does Activision remove the loadouts?
The random distribution of loot in Battle Royale games can cause frustration when your team does not find good equipment and the opponents seem to have everything – but you can be sure that you are not constantly on the same player overpowering weapons. If what Ninja says is true, and the players really almost all play the same loadout, sooner or later this should be extremely monotonous.
However, the shop stations seem to be an integral part of Warzone and should not disappear again so quickly – after all, we are also reviving our fallen teammates here. However, if more and more players express their concerns about the loadouts, Activision and Infinity Ward may have to find a solution to the growing problem.
