Since release, the Vanguard Double Barrel shotgun meta was all the fuss in the newest Call of Duty title. With the right loadout, players could decimate others at an absurd range, provoking the community to demand changes. After months of patiently waiting, the demands were met and the Double Barrel received significant nerfs from the devs in Vanguard\u2019s January 20 patch. Now, players are delighted to see others who relied on the overpowered shotgun struggle to perform well after the latest shift in the meta. After the Vanguard Double Barrel nerf, players took to Reddit a day later to celebrate and make fun of players that relied on the shotguns. A post from CoD player Kalashcocknov highlighted how \u201chilarious\u201d it truly is to see the bad players struggle. \u201cSeeing all the bad players that relied on combat shotties\/double barrels and a riot shield is just hilarious,\u201d said Kalashcocknov. \u201cThey\u2019re crying on Twitter, they\u2019re crying on Reddit, and they\u2019re especially crying in-game. \u201cYou can tell because they\u2019re trying to use an MP40 or STG and going like 2-11 in a Search and Destroy game,\u201d the player added. \u201cIt brings me great joy to see such bad and toxic players finally get shut down.\u201d \u201cI love it! I think most of them uninstalled. But I see level 300s that don\u2019t know how to aim,\u201d commented one Vanguard player. One former shotgunner added that the meta was fun, but they won\u2019t miss it if it improves Vanguard as a whole: \u201cI\u2019ll confess that I had fun with how easy it was to just run around and get kills. But I won\u2019t miss it if it improves the overall game.\u201d For now, Vanguard players won\u2019t be decimated by the overpowered shotguns. However, only time will tell what the next infuriating meta will be, and it likely won\u2019t be long until the community is demanding more changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vanguard players delighted as Raven nerfs end \u201ctoxic\u201d Double Barrel meta ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard\u2019s infamous Double Barrel shotgun meta is over, and fans couldn\u2019t be more delighted seeing players who relied on the weapons struggling in the nerf\u2019s aftermath.
