Warzone players demand changes for \u201cunusable\u201d Automaton following major nerf ActivisionPlayers are calling on Raven to buff the Automaton in Warzone Pacific Season One, after nerfs left the newly-added Vanguard assault rifle \u201cunusable\u201d. Warzone Pacific Season One, after months of anticipation and fan excitement, finally dropped on December 8. Amongst other things \u2013 like the Caldera map and gameplay changes \u2013 the update brought all of CoD: Vanguard\u2019s multiplayer weapons into Warzone. Whilst the meta is still sorting itself out, one of the earliest frontrunners was the Automaton. The Vanguard AR only boasts moderate damage, but its lack of recoil and incredibly fast fire-rate made it an instant fan favorite. Unfortunately, the powers that be at Raven decided it was too strong and quickly handed out a hefty nerf. Emphasis, there, on \u2018hefty\u2019. Below, thanks to YouTuber TheXclusiveAce, is a look at the Automaton\u2019s new recoil compared to other weapons in Warzone. As a result of its incredible recoil, many have deemed the weapon \u201cunusable\u201d and are calling on Raven for a swift buff. Whilst there is general acceptance that its pre-nerf recoil was insufficient, making the weapon completely impossible to control is not what players had in mind. Redditor \u2018MiFeyz\u2018 described it as \u201cunusable\u201d, saying: \u201cIt literally breaks your back I\u2019m not kidding. This gun sucks. Don\u2019t say its because I have it level one I have it level 70 gold and its all no recoil attachments and the thing goes straight up to the sky.\u201d A number of other players chimed in, suggesting that Raven\u2019s nerf went overboard and that a counter-buff would be useful. One said: \u201cThey definitely went over the top with the nerf, its damage was already ass and the no recoil was all it really had going for it.\u201d Another simply commented: \u201cYeah that nerf was heavy handed.\u201d The nerf undoubtedly did its job of weakening the Vanguard AR, but it has also driven players to use pretty much anything else. Hopefully Raven can find a sweet spot, somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
