Warzone devs fix \u201cbusted\u201d Tyr Snakeshot in emergency MW3 patch Activision BlizzardPlayers hopping into MW3\u2019s Warzone noticed that Akimbo Tyrs with Snakeshot ammo were capable of consistently one-shotting people, leading to CoD\u2019s devs deploying an emergency patch that removed the attachment entirely. There have been some very broken guns in Call of Duty\u2018s long history. Even as far back as the Akimbo 1887s, weapons that could one shot at long-range have been a pain point for players, and people aren\u2019t fans of being one-shot without being able to react. And, with history naturally repeating itself, Akimbo Tyrs with Snakeshot rounds were discovered to be incredibly strong, so much so that players using the combo thought it may have been one of the most broken in CoD history. However, MW3\u2019s devs have quickly stepped in and disabled Snakeshot on the Tyr in a move that may have saved the Warzone meta over the holidays. MW3 devs remove Tyr Snakeshot in emergency hotfix to save Warzone meta Weapon nerfs are pretty common in CoD as players figure out which weapon and attachment combos are the strongest. Even with an experienced dev team, it isn\u2019t always possible for devs to sniff out the most broken combinations before players discover them. This became abundantly clear after players started abusing Snakeshot on Akimbo Tyrs to consistently one-shot their opponent in record time. Some players were fully wiping squads before they could even fire a shot. As a result, Raven have stepped in and made a balance adjustment that\u2019s near-unprecedented for the CoD series: They removed Snakeshot entirely. While it\u2019s still possible to use in private playlists and is still visible in-game, the attachment can\u2019t be used at all in public matches. Snakeshot rounds have effectively been removed from both Warzone and MW3. \u201cWe are actively exploring ways to balance it in the future, in conjunction with other planned adjustments. We want everyone to enjoy themselves over the holidays\u2026 within reason.\u201d stated Raven Software, the devs behind Warzone. The response from Warzone and MW3 players has been almost universal praise, with many already tired of the Tyr meta despite the weapon being meta for less than a day. It\u2019s yet unclear when Snakeshot rounds will be re-enabled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
