Warzone Season 5 Juggernaut backlash forces response from Infinity Ward Infinity WardUpdate (Wednesday, August 5 \u2013 9PM PT): Infinity Ward has since addressed community backlash surrounding Juggernauts in Warzone. A \u201csmall patch\u201d was pushed live on August 5 across all platforms to combat the issue. The Juggernaut crate has been removed in the BR Buy Back Solos playlist. Additionally, drop rates across all other modes have been lowered, so they should be appearing less frequently moving forward. A small patch is going out now across all platforms to adjust a few things in #Warzone! \u00b7 Removing the Juggernaut crate and Most Wanted contract in BR Buy Back Solos \u00b7 Lowered the drop rate of Juggernaut crates and how often they appear \u00b7 Keypads\u2026are now active. pic.twitter.com\/CyH54Vugsr\u2014 Infinity Ward (@InfinityWard) August 6, 2020 The original story is as follows. Infinity Ward drastically changed the state of Warzone on August 4 with the Season 5 update, leaving the community riled up over the state of juggernauts in standard playlists. Season 5 has only just begun and dedicated players have already grown restless over one key adjustment. From map changes to new guns and 100-tiers of unlockable items in the Battle Pass, there\u2019s plenty to get stuck into. However, the pure battle royale experience has been tampered with in a huge way. When players dropped back into Verdansk after installing the update, one thing, in particular, stood out. Juggernauts have now become accessible across standard playlists in Warzone. Rather than sticking to their own mode, these near-invincible suits of armor can now be equipped in regular solo, duo, trio, and quad action. Similar to the random Jailbreak or Fire Sale events, Juggernaut suits are occasionally deployed across the map. This gives players an absurd advantage and just one day after the Season 5 update, many are already on the verge of quitting. If you\u2019re lucky enough to secure one, the Juggernaut upgrade will buff your Operator in a number of ways. You\u2019ll pick up a minigun with a heap of ammo to chew through. Deadly to enemies on foot and in vehicles. Not only that, but each kill will also restore health now too. You become a walking tank and anyone that comes close will likely find themselves back in the lobby soon after. It\u2019s an extremely powerful item, hence why it was limited to its own playlists in previous seasons. \u201cI just leave matches when the Juggernaut crates spawn,\u201d one player said. \u201cWhat\u2019s the point of racking up 15+ aggressive kills just for the game to decide [who gets] a free suit?\u201d Regardless of how well you\u2019re doing, when a Juggernaut appears on the map, it becomes near impossible to win a 1v1 fight. You\u2019ll have to team up with other enemies, keep your distance, and use explosives all while hoping the Juggernaut doesn\u2019t replenish its health with a single kill. \u201cNo one asked for this,\u201d another player added. \u201cLeave this to LTMs, please don\u2019t add stupidly overpowered things like this into the standard modes.\u201d Many even drew similarities between the Juggernaut suit and Fortnite\u2019s heavily criticized BRUTE mechs. Both gave individual players a huge advantage on the way to securing a victory. Even with a stacked loadout of your own, these powerful additions to the popular battle royales are all but impossible to counter. To make matters worse in Warzone, players can still get in and out of vehicles with the suit equipped. This means that you can blow up a truck and the Juggernaut inside will still be there relatively unscathed. Infinity Ward is yet to indicated that they\u2019ll be reverting this decision. Though with enough community backlash, playlists could change rather early into Season 5.
