New Warzone Gallo loadout is so good it\u2019s banned from pro tournaments Activision \/ pixabayCall of Duty: Warzone\u2019s shotguns have a colorful history, with some of the game\u2019s most controversial metas defined by the weapon. Now, a new Gallo SA12 loadout is so gnarly that pros are banning it from tournaments. Warzone veterans will remember the infamous \u201cdoof doof\u201d R9-0 fire shotgun meta and the days of the Origin 12\u2019s domination as well. But submachine guns have largely taken the place of shotgun shells in recent months\u2026 until now. In custom lobby tournaments, top players compete against one another and often ban items they find unfair. In Brazil, they\u2019ve banned Stun Grenades and, in the past, OP weapons like the DMR. In North America, people are now banning shotguns and launchers. The latest shotgun ban, which will take effect for Tommey and ZLaner\u2019s tournaments, is most closely linked to the Gallo \u2014 which made its presence felt (and despised) during the $75,000 Twitch Rivals Customs. The banned Warzone Gallo SA12 shotgun loadout Placed 2nd in the $75k Twitch Rivals w\/ @aHTracTXII. Won 2 games and played extremely well. Took home $4000 each!

Muzzle: Agency Choke – Barrel: 21.4\u201d Reinforced Heavy – Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight – Stock: Wire Stock – Ammunition: STANAG 12 Rnd Tube – The setup is quite similar to most Gallo loadouts of old, but with a few minor tweaks to adjust mobility. Unlike typical builds, which prefer the SOF Target Designator and No Stock, the pro build opts for the SWAT 5m2 Laser Sight and Wire Stock. This Gallo maintains the damage and ammunition capacity of most builds, while offering an added layer of handling comfort \u2014 critical for winning engagements against the world\u2019s best players. These are the rules so far for my $50k tournament. Let me know your thoughts & if there is anything we can improve \ud83d\ude42 pic.twitter.com\/6NrZWr1jhK \u2014 OpTic ZLaner (@ZLaner) August 30, 2021 The Rivals tournament had no restricted items, but pro players have since pushed against that. With top players like Newbz calling Fro \u201cshameless\u201d for running his Gallo, it\u2019s obvious that the gun was the main culprit behind the new shotgun bans. The argument for and against the Gallo in tournaments largely boils down to mouse and keyboard vs controller, as MKB players claim they need shotguns to counter controller players\u2019 SMGs (which are aided by aim assist). For the vast majority of players, that argument isn\u2019t important. What is important is that there\u2019s a Gallo loadout floating around that is so frustrating to play against that pro players are banning it. If it\u2019s too good for them, it might just be good enough for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
