MW2 players frustrated by \u201cbroken\u201d Perk that hasn\u2019t been fixed in seven months ActivisionModern Warfare 2 players are frustrated at the state of Bomb Squad, a Base Perk in MW2 that is being labeled \u201cbroken,\u201d due to how little protection it provides against launchers. Bomb Squad is MW2\u2019s rendition of the classic explosion damage resistance Perk that has featured throughout Call of Duty history. From EOD to Flak Jacket it\u2019s become a staple that fans have come to expect. It\u2019s an extremely important Perk as explosives in COD can be incredibly powerful and a Trophy System can only do so much. However, the underwhelming state of Bomb Squad in MW2 has left some players annoyed and wanting it to be fixed. Bomb Squad isn\u2019t protecting MW2 players against explosives Members of the Modern Warfare 2 community are upset with the state of Bomb Squad, believing that the Base Perk doesn\u2019t work as intended and is in need of a fix. A thread titled \u201cSo when is Infinity Ward gonna fix bomb squad in MP?\u201d was posted on the MW2 subreddit. It features a video showing multiple examples of RPG shots killing through Bomb Squad despite not directly impacting the player. One reply hypothesized why the Perk seems so inconsistent: \u201cI think Launchers are (for no good reason) unaffected by Bomb Squad in multiplayer.\u201d Another member chimed in revealing that they\u2019ve found that it\u2019s not just launcher shots that can kill through Bomb Squad: \u201cI\u2019ve died to frag grenades while using Bomb Squad too. Many times. It\u2019s actually broken.\u201d Not everyone agreed that Bomb Squad was broken though, with others believing it\u2019s just how the Perk is balanced in MW2: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s bugged, I think it\u2019s just weaker in MWII. I think a Drill Charge is the only thing that can\u2019t get a kill under the right circumstances.\u201d Some players just disagreed there was a problem altogether: \u201cBomb squad reduces damage, it doesn\u2019t prevent death. You got nailed by an RPG, Bomb Squad shouldn\u2019t matter.\u201d The state of Bomb Squad in MW2 is a contentious topic with some players wanting it buffed, others thinking it\u2019s fine, and some believing that the Perk doesn\u2019t work at all. It\u2019s rare for Perks in COD games to be significantly changed after launch, but Birdseye did get nerfed in Warzone and Infinity Ward had previously looked into changing Ghost to a Base Perk. However, plans to do so were canceled due to balance concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
