Warzone’s Akimbo Snakeshot buildallowed players to dual-wield Basilisk handguns, creating a lethal combo that could drop enemies at close range with only one or two shots. Just hours beforeCall of Dutyremoved the Snakeshot, players started sharing clips of their kill streaks with it, some racking up over 40 kills in a single match. Those show-off posts, combined with the wave of complaints from players, were likely the telltale signs to the devs that something was off with the attachment. And now, it looks like they’ve stepped in.
Call of Duty: Warzone’s April 7 patch disabled both the Snakeshot ammunition and the Thermal 6x Scope. It also adjusted the number of static buy stations in Battle Royale Trios to match those in other squad sizes. As for the disabled items, the official Call of Duty Updates Twitter account states they have been temporarily removed while the team investigates some issues.

Fortunately, this has been addressed in the latest patch, with more fixes likely on the way. One update the community is still waiting on is a nerf to the Terminator skin, which has faced criticism since its launch. On the bright side, the devs have finally acknowledged the issue and promised a “visibility adjustment” to make it easier for players to spot or, as the development team puts it, enhance the skin’s “target identification” rate.
