Every\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> game has the occasional overpowered weapon, which is usually an inevitability with every shooter anyway. It happened with the Model 1886s in\u00a0Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2<\/em>, the MP7 in\u00a0Modern Warfare 3<\/em>, and ironically the FAMAS in\u00a0Black Ops<\/em>. That irony is realized in this year’s\u00a0Call of Duty:\u00a0<\/em>Warzone<\/em><\/strong>, with the FR. 5.56 (aka FAMAS) dealing with a serious underbarrel shotgun problem. And not just any underbarrel shotgun, but specifically the FR 5.56’s underbarrel shotgun is overpowered.<\/p>\n

Likely due to a slew of balance changes in Season 5, several\u00a0Call of Duty:\u00a0<\/em>Warzone<\/em><\/a> streamers and YouTubers have started pointing out the problematic attachment and its insane effective range. Fully armored players from around 15 meters away are being one-shot by the underbarrel shotgun, and luckily a fix is due out in the near future. Here’s why every player is breaking out the FAMAS and its underbarrel shotgun in Warzone<\/em> currently, and how it won’t last long.<\/p>\n

The prevailing theory, and probable cause, of this crazy attachment is that one of the Season 5 buffs<\/a> had some additional and unintentional ramifications. In the patch notes for\u00a0Warzone<\/em> specifically, it was noted that Season 5 made a specific change to the FR 5.56’s range. The patch “increased effective damage range for the FR 5.56,” presumably to improve the normal ammunition’s effectiveness at medium to long range. Unfortunately, it seems that change may have been made for both the standard ammunition, as well as any projectile attachments on the gun.<\/p>\n

As a result, the underbarrel shotgun has insane range when only the FAMAS itself was supposed to receive a damage fall off buff. Several clips\u00a0have been\u00a0making the rounds across the\u00a0Warzone<\/em> community<\/a>, causing an uproar. And rightfully so, the range as seen above is\u00a0 ridiculous for a one shot hit from a shotgun. At the moment, that underbarrel shotgun on the FAMAS is capable of a full-damage spread pattern as far as 15 meters, making it a potent shotgun at any distance. Of course, anyone who wants to get in on the attachment’s absurdity won’t have much longer to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
