Warzone devs respond to rumor about \u201csharks and monkeys\u201d on new map Activision \/ Pexels, MileCall of Duty: Warzone players are excited for the new map coming with Vanguard. But some of the rumors, including one bizarre report of interactive animals on the map, have gotten so out of hand that the devs are stepping in. Call of Duty\u2019s developers don\u2019t often get involved with leaks and rumors, but it seems that enough is enough. Numerous things have been thrown around social media regarding Vanguard, the franchise\u2019s 2021 title, and its integration with Warzone. One such talking point has caught the developers\u2019 eyes: a rumor about animals you can fight in the Vanguard map. A post on Twitter (which didn\u2019t have any concrete sources, to be fair) gained a fair amount of traction, suggesting that you could fight animals like \u201csharks and monkeys\u201d for loot in the new map. Then Raven Software responded\u2026 succinctly. The rumor stated that Warzone\u2019s upcoming map would be \u201cPacific-themed\u201d and that there would be animals like sharks and monkeys that \u201cwill drop loot once killed.\u201d Past that, the account explained that \u201csome animals will be predatory in nature (sharks), while others will be more passive.\u201d Seeing an account with over 400,000 followers spread this kind of information, Raven stepped in with a short and sweet \u201clmao.\u201d Within moments, they had ratio\u2019d the original tweet with almost double the likes and effectively shut the rumor down. Some birds already exist in Warzone and others, like ravens and Komodo dragons, also exist but solely as finishing moves. The idea of bringing possibly predatory animals to the game is an intriguing one, which had players pretty divided. While some mentioned how this would be a bizarre choice in regards to animal rights (imagine PETA\u2019s inbox after people killed passive animals for loot), others focused on the predators. One user noted how annoying it would be to barely survive a gunfight only to get finished off by a random bear. Ultimately, it seems like this \u201cunconfirmed rumor\u201d might not hold much weight. While the devs haven\u2019t outright shut it down by saying \u201cno,\u201d laughing at it makes people feel like the leak is indeed laughable and won\u2019t come true. Guess we\u2019ll have to wait until November to find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
