NICKMERCS explains how Warzone\u2019s DMR is a bigger problem than you might think Activision \/ YouTube: NICKMERCSThe DMR 14 has well and truly taken over Warzone as the \u2018must-pick\u2019 gun of choice, but Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff believes the problem with the current meta runs much deeper than just this one weapon. Since the latest balancing update went through, it\u2019s safe to say that almost every game has been dominated by the DMR. It can deal an extraordinary amount of damage in the blink of an eye, making it the standout weapon of Season One. With practically every single player using it, \u201cif you don\u2019t have one, you\u2019re gonna get bopped by one,\u201d NICKMERCS joked. If you can\u2019t find one, get off the game. It took over the entire meta of Warzone.\u201d While a fix might seem as simple as just toning things down a bit and reducing its power, there\u2019s a deeper problem with the state of balance in Warzone, according to one of its most popular players. After a relatively stagnant meta before Black Ops Cold War\u2019s weapons were added to the mix, the community was desperate for something new. \u201cWe wanted them to shake things up a bit,\u201d NICKMERCS acknowledged. \u201cAnd they did\u2026 this DMR is unbelievable.\u201d The weapon has taken over to a frustrating extent. \u201cEveryone is using it. It\u2019s officially DMRzone,\u201d he continued. Similar to other meta-defining weapons of previous seasons, a simple tweak could take it out of rotation. At least, that\u2019s what you\u2019d think. NICKMERCS believes the latest issues run deeper than that, however. \u201cThe one really big reason as to why this is a problem\u2026 if they end up patching this thing, everyone\u2019s gonna jump over to the Type 63.\u201d Another Tactical Rifle, the Type 63 is nearly identical, just with \u201ca little more recoil,\u201d he explained. As a result, the current state of balance in Warzone \u201cis not going to change for a while,\u201d according to the popular streamer. Perhaps one way to shake things up instead of nerfing multiple guns, would be to \u201cbuff more Cold War guns,\u201d he argued. \u201cA lot\u201d of the weapons introduced with Black Ops Cold War just \u201caren\u2019t viable compared to the DMR and the Mac-10.\u201d So with some selective buffs, new weapons could be brought to the foreground as Season One continues.

As of now, there\u2019s no telling how long we\u2019ll be in this tac-rifle meta before a big shift in Warzone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
