NICKMERCS explains why \u201cbroken\u201d R9-0 Dragon\u2019s Breath needs to be nerfed Activision \/ FaZe ClanFaZe Clan star Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has delved into why Warzone\u2019s R9-0 \u2018Dragon\u2019s Breath\u2019 is \u201cbroken,\u201d and why Infinity Ward needs to nerf the shotgun variant in Season 5. Since Warzone\u2019s introduction, Infinity Ward have done a great job at keeping the meta fresh by bringing in new weapons as part of the season-based content delivery. The developers have received backlash from the community for \u2018ruining\u2019 Warzone with dominant weapons, such as the first iteration of the Grau 5.56 or the Mk9 Bruen LMG. And while those weapons have since been fine-tuned to help them align more with the meta, it appears that history is repeating itself with the R9-0 \u2018Dragon\u2019s Breath\u2019 shotgun \u2014 which is every bit as lethal as its namesake suggests. Does Infinity Ward need to nerf the R9-0? So what makes the \u201cDragon\u2019s Breath\u201d version of the R9-0 so special? As you can probably guess, the rounds are riddled with incendiary that quite literally burns your foes alive, meaning that alongside dishing out the initial damage, it will also do a significant amount of damage over time. Being at the forefront of the Warzone meta, NICKMERCS discovered just how devastatingly powerful the weapon can be shortly after its release. But unlike his relationship with the Bruen, Kolcheff has a love-hate thing going on with Dragon\u2019s Breath. \u201cIf I post a video, saying that it\u2019s broken and more and more people use it, it\u2019s only going to get the damn thing fixed faster\u2026 Have fun with the shotgun and do it now, because I can guarantee you ain\u2019t going to be able to have fun with this thing for too much longer.\u201d Nick showed just how devastating the weapon can be up close, after showcasing his loadout (detailed below). Of course, the weapon will only be super effective in CQB, so you might want to consider pairing it up with one of Warzone\u2019s most popular weapons.
