Treyarch under fire for another overpowered Black Ops 4 supply drop weapon TreyarchDevelopers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Treyarch, have been accused of making the same mistake yet again with their supply drop weapons, adding an apparently \u201coverpowered\u201d crossbow behind a paywall. If you\u2019re a regular Black Ops 4 player then this story may be serving you some deja vu, as back in June Treyarch had to nerf another of their reserve-only weapons, the Stingray. Players bemoaned its ridiculous time-to-kill, especially with the operator mod attached, which would take out an opponent in only two shots. The Stingray was seriously OP when first added to Black Ops 4. It seems that they haven\u2019t quite learnt from that mistake, as the latest addition to the supply drop arsenal (that is, weapons that can only be acquired through the lucky dip of a reserve case opening), is being labelled overpowered yet again. On July 16, a player posted footage of the new \u2018Reaver C86\u2019 crossbow in action, demonstrating that it will destroy the robot in the Safegaurd mode in mere seconds \u2013 much faster than any other weapon is capable of. The fan posted \u201cThe Reaver C86 crossbow destroys the Safeguard robot SO QUICKLY. Literally, it\u2019s GAME CHANGING\u201d Other players clearly agreed, with users recalling the previous Stingray episode as another example: \u201cThey made this EXACT mistake with the stingray. \u2018Whoops\u2019 our RNG only weapon is overpowered.\u201d Another wrote \u201cyou finally fixed this problem on the stingray after a MONTH and now you turn around and make the same mistake not a week later? Treyarch is simply incompetent.\u201d Harsh words from fans, but players are clearly becoming increasingly frustrated with what appears to be a rather haphazard approach to adding new weapons, and the fact they are only obtainable through luck-based reserve cases certainly doesn\u2019t help matters. Treyarch respond to Reaver C86 complaints Thankfully, a Treyarch dev was on hand to acknowledge the post, thanking another user for tagging him in the Reddit thread. However, the developer gave no insight into whether or not the weapon\u2019s balancing issues will be addressed, or when. The Reaver C86 crossbow was added in the Operation Apocalypse Z update. Black Ops 4 is now in the closing stages of its first year life-cycle, with many Call of Duty fans now with one eye on the upcoming Modern Warfare. The move to put weapons in supply drops (or \u2018reserves\u2019 as they are called in Black Ops 4) was criticized heavily following the big \u2018Days of Summer\u2019 update, and there is hopes that Modern Warfare will stray away from this monetization model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
