The battle royale scene is more competitive now than ever before. Apex Legends has a dedicated fanbase of passionate players, while the decision to offer a Zero Build mode in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 has revitalized Epic\u2019s take on the formula. Meanwhile, Warzone continues to be plagued by technical issues and unbalanced weapons that are stopping the CoD BR from living up to its potential. Despite the relatively positive response to Season 2 Reloaded, many fans are still unhappy with where the game is right now. Streamers have also called out the state of the game since the move to Caldera. Most recently, Twitch superstar NICKMERCS has condemned Warzone, suggesting there is no reason to choose it over the competition. During his April 4 Twitch stream, NICKMERCS began discussing how the likes of Apex Legends and Fortnite have outshone Warzone in the last few months. He quickly erupted into a rant calling for players to leave Caldera behind. \u201cWarzone is [a] f*****g shambles,\u201d he explained, fighting back the laughter. \u201cFortnite is on fire, Apex is [immaculate].\u201d \u201cIf you are playing Warzone right now, you need to get a f*****g grip,\u201d he continued. \u201cOk? Full transparency, you need to get a grip. You\u2019re f*****g high, man.\u201d The popular streamer didn\u2019t seem to have any sympathy for those who still flood back to Warzone time after time, ending the rant by saying: \u201cYou\u2019re doing it to yourself.\u201d It\u2019s no secret that Nick has favored Apex Legends over Warzone after he dramatically quit the CoD BR back in August of 2021. He has dabbled since moving over to Apex, but even the move from Verdansk to Caldera wasn\u2019t enough to entice him back in. Raven have introduced plenty of fresh content since then, even adding Redoploy Ballons plucked straight from Apex Legends, but it appears that none of it altered his opinion on Warzone. Like many players, NICKMERCS has been looking ahead to Warzone 2 and outlining what it needs to do to be a success. Maybe, an entirely fresh start will be enough to bring the legendary streamer back onboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS tells people playing Warzone over Apex Legends or Fortnite to \u201cget a grip\u201d Activision \/ Epic Games \/ NICKMERCSIn an incredible rant, streaming giant NICKMERCS has urged Warzone players to \u201cget a grip,\u201d arguing that the CoD battle royale has fallen way behind its competitors in recent weeks.
