It’s been less than a week since Verdansk’s return to Call of Duty: Warzone<\/em>, but opinions about the map, update, and weapons it brought have already formed.<\/p>

Most players are having a blast with the rollback of features tuned towards how the battle royale game played and felt back in 2020 when it first launched, but there are some who have a pretty heavy nitpick about one of the returning weapons added in Black Ops 6 <\/em>season three.<\/p>

The HDR sniper rifle came back to Warzone <\/em>along with the CR-56 AMAX, Kilo 141, and Kali Sticks, but the long-distance gun is catching heat from some who feel that Verdansk has turned into such a scope glint festival that it looks like a rave at times.<\/p>

Keep your eyes peeled whenever you’re moving through open areas on Verdansk because you’re likely to find a sniper scope shining in the sunlight and trained on your direction, seconds away from downing you in one hit. Some players are fed up with it, while others are telling them to “get good.”<\/p>

The new HDR is a one-shot down to most parts of the body, so if you get caught out in the open or peeking when you shouldn’t, you’re likely to get your armor ripped off and potentially need a revive. Some others think that this should only happen with headshots.<\/p>

“The people defending the gun are who the gun is catered to,” one Redditor said<\/a>. “Shitcans, basically, who can’t hit a headshot. It’ll probably get a nerf soon, just for now we gotta deal because they have to let the players who left after Warzone 2.0’s<\/em> release get a kill, and have some success when they otherwise wouldn’t.”<\/p>

The stopping power of sniper rifles in Warzone<\/em> has been a point of debate for years, so that won’t change any time soon, but just as many involved in the HDR discussion believe that it should stay the way it is for one simple reason: it’s fun.<\/p>

“Quiet, stop whining,” another gamer said<\/a>. “Let us have fun.”<\/p>
