Warzone 2.0 has been released, which means the entire community is combing through the game, trying to figure out what’s going on with all the intricacies that have arisen in this new entry. However, one discovery has confused some players, as it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to unlock all of the weapons just by playing the battle royale mode.
Specifically, the M13B Assault Rifle is now locked in your arsenal and requires you to defeat the Chemists in the fallout zone of the DMZ.Seems like variety is the chosen joie de vivre for MW2 and Warzone 2.0 until you can simply complete some common challenges in multiplayer and battle royale
This was first spotted by user RJE808 on Modern Warfare 2 Reddit, giving us an idea of the initial community reaction via comments on their post. Multiple users, including MOONGRAPHIX, have wondered if only those who successfully complete the challenge will receive the blueprint, or if the entire squad will be rewarded.
No word yet, but whether players want to or not, they’ll have to jump into the DMZ or buy it with real-world cash to get their hands on the gun. As you can imagine, acceptance of this has been mixed. User OD2095 wrote, “I won’t touch anything that isn’t a congressman or a campaign. They can keep their guns.”
Others weren’t as cool, with user Genericbuild saying: “It’s tragic because I can’t play that, so I don’t think I can use this gun. I’m fucking sick of it if that’s the way they’re going.”
I am of two minds. On the one hand, I totally want to push your player base into various game modes. If you create new content, you’ll want to offer rewards to convince players who weren’t initially keen to try it.
However, I’ve heard that the plight of diehards who only play multiplayer games is understandable. Why force them to play a completely different mode or spend real money to unlock their entire arsenal if they already paid for Modern Warfare 2. This is a tricky question, and depending on who you ask, it can be interpreted as innocuous or anti-user.
That’s why I’m asking you. What do you think about all this? I ended up siding with the players and was a bit frustrated, but let me know if you think I’m wrong here.
