Modern Warfare battle pass skin gives EBR-14 \u201cpay to win\u201d Warzone buff Infinity WardEvidence suggests that Modern Warfare battle pass skins for the EBR-14 give the sniper rifle a damage buff in Warzone that doesn\u2019t normally appear for the base weapon or free camos. A comparison by Reddit user \u2018ChickenYug\u2019 shows how the gun performs differently depending on which skin is equipped for the EBR \u2013 with a couple of blueprints reportedly allowing the rifle to have a one-shot kill potential. The weapon is a semi-automatic long-range rifle that is a popular choice for players looking to deal consistent pressure from far away. Though the rifle has great damage, it\u2019s not the hardest hitting sniper in the game. That conversation changes when equipping the rifle\u2019s \u2018Line Breaker\u2019 skin which players can obtain after buying into and leveling up the Season 2 battle pass. \u201cThis is pay to win \u2013 plain and simple,\u201d ChickenYug said. \u201cI have been absolutely tearing through games with this gun and have completed all the challenges as it is completely broken.\u201d Their comparison shows the rifle without the skin landing a point-blank shot to a nearby player\u2019s head. While damaging, the shot left the player standing waiting to heal up for the next demonstration. Going over to a nearby hut to change weapons, the player equips the EBR-14 with the \u2018Line Breaker\u2019 skin as well as all the same attachments that the standard variant had. The ensuing shot was way more potent than the one that came out of the previous attempt, immediately killing the experiment\u2019s test subject. Though they didn\u2019t test it themselves, the user linked another instance where the EBR\u2019s \u2018Flesh Wound\u2019 skin gives a similar buff. Members of the CoD community are convinced this is simply a bug with the battle pass skins, as opposed to a blatant pay-to-win tactic from Activision. \u201cIt\u2019s in fact a bug,\u201d user \u2018Lucky_-1y\u2019 argued. \u201cThere\u2019s no attachments that increase the headshot damage for the EBR14, but still P2W, since it\u2019s a paid version that gives you a huge advantage\u201d Regardless, the skins seem to be giving the weapon an unintended advantage in Warzone that the Infinity Ward devs might move quickly to fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
