Vanguard players demand nerf for overpowered LMG: \u201cThere\u2019s no counter\u201d ActivisionSome Call of Duty: Vanguard players are demanding that Sledgehammer Games nerf the Whitley LMG, claiming the weapon\u2019s \u201coverpowered\u201d and has \u201cno counter.\u201d Released during Vanguard Season 2, the Whitley LMG was a controversial weapon from the get-go due to its \u201cpay to win\u201d nature and its combination of great two-shot kill potential, enormous magazine size, and bullet penetration capability. It\u2019s the quintessential gun as it was designed to do high amounts of damage and has virtually zero weaknesses as it has no problems in terms of handling or recoil. Because of this, its power in Vanguard has some players fed up and wanting it to change. Vanguard players demand nerf to \u201coverpowered\u201d Whitley LMG Emphasizing the Whitley LMG\u2019s strength on the official Call of Duty Vanguard subreddit was a Redditor by the name of Kingtinkerer102, who questioned why the weapon hasn\u2019t been nerfed yet, bringing up that it has no counter. \u201cThe Whitley, it\u2019s just overpowered and broken,\u201d said the user. \u201cIt\u2019s not like a \u2018you\u2019re just bad at the game\u2019 type of thing. There is just no real way to counter it, it feels like.\u201d Kingtinkerer102 later elaborated as to why they feel this way, detailing some of the Whitley\u2019s strengths such as its damage and the caliber of ammo it uses. \u201cIts extended .50 BMG 150 round boxes just should not exist,\u201d explained Kingtinkerer102. \u201cIncreasing the guns damage by 70% while only reducing its firing rate by 22.1%, the recoil increase is also not really notable, it also seems to give the gun the ability to shoot through every wall in the game.\u201d These sentiments were echoed by others in the Reddit post, in which not only did they answer the user\u2019s initial question but also gave their thoughts on the weapon. One said, \u201cbecause they couldn\u2019t care less about the game and want noobs to achieve their first nuke with it.\u201d \u201cI completely agree. Honestly, I think the game would be a lot better balance-wise if most of the high-caliber ammo conversions were removed,\u201d said another. \u201cI don\u2019t think any of the lower-caliber conversions are useful in any regard. There\u2019s a chance this highly powered LMG might see some changes very soon as Season 2 Reloaded might be around the corner. Only time will tell of Sledgehammer Games will address it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
