One of the most controversial changes added with launch of Warzone Pacific – the removal of purchasable loadout drops during the initial stages of the game – has been altered in the most recent Warzone patch. Now, players will be able to get their grubby hands on their favourite guns as soon as they pick up the funds to do so.
This change comes following months of pleading from the more hardcore portion of the Warzone community. Content creators especially were major pushers for the change being reverted to how it was back on Verdansk, with streamer Faze Swaag promising to tattoo the Raven Software logo if it happened (we’ll touch back on this later).
The change to loadouts was initially made to level the playing field on Caldera, forcing players to engage in firefights with weapons they found across the island until the first gas circle had fully settled. This forced players to use the new weapons added with Vanguard, and did indeed make it easier for players to take on enemies without worrying about what nasty meta guns they have in store.
