And, before it does, I have but one desperate, carefully thought-out wish: a small buff for the FN SCAR 17. At the time of writing, November 12, it has been 612 days since Warzone released. In that time, Verdansk has been home to a number of different metas, with guns from both Modern Warfare 2019 and Black Ops Cold War. Now, we look toward the next chapter in Warzone: the Pacific, Caldera map \u2014 expected to release in early December. And, while everyone is feverishly excited for the new environment, I have one last request for Verdansk. The FN SCAR 17 is one of Warzone\u2019s OGs (original guns). But, in the past 612 days, it has enjoyed the least amount of playtime among all launch-day ARs. Vanguard is coming, Pacific is coming, and I can think of no better way to send Verdansk off than with a last, first hoorah for the FN SCAR. The FN SCAR deserves its time in the Warzone sun When Black Ops Cold War came out, we expected MW19 guns to start getting phased out. And they did, as the DMR, C58, and now EM2 metas raged into the limelight. So when Vanguard comes out, the pattern will likely continue pushing MW19\u2019s weaponry into the shadows. If that\u2019s the case, then this is the perfect time to send off those guns with honor. And no gun is more perfectly suited for a buff than the forgotten FN SCAR. While the SCAR has never gotten any play in the meta, it\u2019s actually a pretty good gun. While fun to use, its high damage and controllable recoil are limited by a measly max mag size of\u2026 30 rounds. Buffing the SCAR for Warzone is easy (and honorable) Literally all you have to do to make the SCAR viable, if not outright meta, is buff its max mag size to 50 rounds. That\u2019s all I\u2019m asking for. No damage, range, or mobility tweaks necessary \u2014 it\u2019s already pretty darn good, as you can see from Aydan\u2019s big game above. We\u2019re all excited for Pacific Caldera and the integration of Vanguard\u2019s outrageous 10-attachment guns. But, in the few weeks we have left with Verdansk (and who knows how long with MW19 guns), why not have some fun? They say that \u201cevery dog has its day.\u201d But, after 600-plus, the SCAR\u2019S has yet to come. Still, it\u2019s been available to us throughout the darkest times, no matter how much it was neglected. Letting the SCAR be the last meta of Verdansk isn\u2019t just a nice thing to do; it\u2019s the right thing to do. With one simple buff, we can take this old dog out for its first real run in the Verdansk park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Warzone should buff the FN SCAR before Pacific launches ActivisionAfter over a year in Verdansk, Call of Duty: Warzone is about to embark on its next chapter.
