It\u2019s been a dizzying week in the competitive CoD scene with teams falling apart and organizations reportedly joining forces, but all through the chaos, players have finally had their first chance to test out Vanguard. Scump has been active on Twitch since the Alpha test kicked off, grinding through Champion\u2019s Hill for hours on end each day. While he\u2019s racked up his fair share of wins, The King isn\u2019t all too pleased with one thing in particular: Exploding Rounds. When these bullets hit you \u2014 or even just hit the air around you \u2014 it becomes increasingly difficult to see and thus, fight back. Both Scump and his former T2P duo FormaL took to social media to express their disdain for this year\u2019s controversial feature. \u201cExploding rounds make me frown,\u201d Scump said in an August 29 clip. Having made it through to the final round of a Trios match, there was just one team left in Scump\u2019s path to victory. Before he even got a chance to secure the win, exploding rounds came into play. \u201cI can\u2019t even see,\u201d he said mere seconds after spawning in. \u201cI can\u2019t even see this dude, I can\u2019t see him.\u201d As Exploding Rounds connected from across the map, damage piled up and Scump\u2019s screen turned almost pitch black. \u201cWhat the f*** is that?\u201d he yelled. \u201cWhat is this?\u201d Read More: Vanguard leaks reveal new Gunsmith &#8211; \u201cYep, good year to skip,\u201d FormaL joked in the replies, one day after from announcing his retirement. Exploding Rounds come as part of the Death Machine unlock in Champion\u2019s Hill Buy Stations. They appear to deal more damage with each hit but also apply lingering damage as well, wounding foes over time. With Vanguard\u2019s release still a few weeks out, there\u2019s every chance this could be tweaked prior to launch. For the Alpha at least, it\u2019s clear Exploding Rounds are a huge gripe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scump &#038; FormaL mock CoD Vanguard\u2019s ridiculous Exploding Rounds Activision \/ Call of Duty LeagueWhile the Call of Duty Vanguard Alpha is just an early glimpse at this year\u2019s title, competitive legends Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner and Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper both agree that Exploding Rounds already need to go.
