Warzone streamers applaud Stim buff as \u201cbest addition\u201d in game\u2019s history ActivisionWhile Call of Duty: Warzone has its share of problems, streamers are taking a moment to appreciate one seemingly minor buff that came with the Pacific update \u2013 dubbing the new Stim Shots the game\u2019s greatest all-time addition. In the Pacific Season 1 patch notes, Warzone\u2019s devs at Raven Software revealed that Tactical Equipment would be receiving a number of changes on the new Caldera map. At the time, excitement about the Heartbeat Sensor nerfs overshadowed the Stim Shot buffs. Now, though, the pendulum has swung toward serious appreciation for the Stims. The equipment now gives you a speed boost, which streamers have used for devastating plays and for a \u201cSuper Slide\u201d movement mechanic. Remarking on the equipment\u2019s continued emergence, top players like IceManIsaac and JoeWo are not shying away from the praise. Instead, each have gone so far as to call the buffed Stims one of Warzone\u2019s greatest changes. Warzone\u2019s buffed Stims: The best addition ever? The Stim Buff may be the greatest addition to Warzone we\u2019ve ever had. \u2014 JoeWo (@AverageJoeWo) January 8, 2022 JoeWo put it very simply, saying that the buffed Stims \u201cmay be the greatest addition to Warzone we\u2019ve ever had.\u201d And, coming from a player known as the \u201cMovement King,\u201d it\u2019s clear why he appreciates their new mobility. Fellow streamer IceManIsaac dove a little further into the equipment, breaking down precisely why their buff has been \u201cone of the most refreshing changes in Warzone history.\u201d The Stim buff is one of the most refreshing changes in Warzone history. So many opportunities for finesse, outplay, and escape \ud83d\udd25 I still wish stuns and flashes were nerfed harder, but goodbye heartbeat sensor meta! \u2014 Isaac (@IceManIsaac) December 30, 2021 As Isaac explains, the mobility-buffing Stims bring more \u201copportunities for finesse, outplay, and escape.\u201d Top players are interested in items that increase the skill gap, so a versatile item improving speed most certainly fits the bill. Moving faster isn\u2019t exactly something that campers will be able to take advantage of, after all. Going further, Isaac still wants more nerfs to Stuns and Flashes \u2013 but he\u2019s happy with the Stims and glad to see the nerfed Heartbeat Sensor out of rotation. It\u2019s not clear that casual players are as content with the Stims as streamers are, so we\u2019ll need to see if that appreciation trickles down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
