Warzone pros expose pay-to-win Bullfrog Blueprint that ruins game audio ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone pros have revealed a (presumably) bugged Bullfrog Blueprint, which is essentially a pay-to-win cosmetic since it completely ruins audio cues for your opponents. For a free game to be competitive, it\u2019s vital that purchasable items do not compromise the experience by giving paying players an unfair advantage. That\u2019s why there was drama when a Modern Warfare HDR Blueprint had better iron sights than the standard ones you can grind for. And that\u2019s why the P2W (pay-to-win) SBMM (skill-based matchmaking) rumors were labeled \u201chorrifying.\u201d But a new Bullfrog Blueprint might be even worse than the original HDR, as it can confuse the life out of your enemies by making it sound like they\u2019re being shot from every angle. Already a source of tournament drama, ZLaner showed Dr Disrespect and viewers just how bad it is. Pay-to-win Bullfrog Blueprint in Warzone? \ud83d\ude2c After some tourney drama, @ZLanerOFFICIAL, aided by @TimTheTatman, showed @DrDisrespect how the gun messes with your game audio\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/ChPbQC3ymf \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) September 23, 2021 As you can see in the clip, Z brings Doc over to a corner and asks their teammate, TimTheTatman, to shoot with the bugged Bullfrog. Immediately, the Two-Time reacts: \u201cOh my god, no way!\u201d ZLaner responds: \u201cIt sounds like it\u2019s all around you.\u201d While it\u2019s hard to hear directional audio through a stream rather than a player\u2019s actual headphones, Doc\u2019s reaction just about sums it up. This new bugged Blueprint isn\u2019t new to the professional scene, as it was a major source of drama during September 21\u2019s Z & Z tournament \u2014 when exzachht was nearly disqualified for using a Bullfrog Blueprint. The rules were made for a broken gun that impacts the game, I wasn’t using that gun. \u2014 exzachtt (@exzachtt) September 21, 2021 Ultimately, Zach was let off the hook because he wasn\u2019t using the one that\u2019s actually bugged. But this proves just how serious the competitive advantage is, to the point that using any Bullfrog Blueprint in a tournament is considered punishable. Since you can\u2019t typically acquire this gun for free and it does give a competitive advantage, it\u2019s no stretch to call it a P2W weapon \u2014 and that makes it a source of controversy. For now, the developers have yet to respond so it\u2019s unclear if this audio issue is a bug or an intended feature. We\u2019ll keep an ear to the ground, pun intended, and update this piece when news comes out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
