Warzone players angry with \u201cpay to win\u201d Modern Warfare sniper blueprint ActivisionA number of Call of Duty: Warzone players have hit out at another \u201cpay to win\u201d weapon after noticing that an HDR sniper blueprint lets players see a whole lot more while zoomed in. As Warzone has continued to surge in popularity, the developers have kept the battle royale filled with new content in the form of new weapons, cosmetics, and game modes. However, there have been plenty of issues with items that come from the in-game item shop. Players have complained that certain blueprints actually give weapons a damage boost compared to their base version, while some skins have let users literally go invisible at long-range. With the switch to Black Ops Cold War weapons, some of the Modern Warfare items have taken a backseat, but players have reignited an argument around a HDR blueprint being \u201cpay to win.\u201d The Blueprint in question is the Oceanographer for the HDR sniper. The bright skin isn\u2019t the issue, but rather the variable zoom scope that is on the rifle. As Reddit user aur0n shows, compared to the stock HDR, the scope doesn\u2019t blackout the area around where the player is zooming in. Instead, it shows everything that\u2019s there. It\u2019s not quite an aimbot-like advantage, of course, but it does allow players to get a better read on what\u2019s around them. For example, if an enemy sneaks up on a player using the stock scope, they might not be able to see them. Whereas, with the Oceanographer blueprint, they could. \u201cI know it\u2019s not as broken as the MAC-10 with increased base stats like we had some weeks ago, but I still find it unfair that people who shopped the HDR in the store have a better weapon (with peripheral vision) than others that don\u2019t want to spend money on it,\u201d the Redditor added. \u201cThis has always been an issue and gave up complaining about it. The black peripheral is a huge downside compared to the blueprint,\u201d another noted. Given that it\u2019s a Modern Warfare weapon, and the blueprint is slightly old at this point, it\u2019s unknown if a change will be made. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
