Fans want 1shot headshot sniper to be back in Warzone 2

Call of Duty Warzone 2 is slated to receive a bucket load of changes in the upcoming Season 2 update. One of the most notable changes will be introduced to the armor plate system and generalizing the three-plated armor, increasing the Time-To-Kill.

Warzone 2 player and content creator ModernWarzone recently posted two images on Twitter along with a crisp explanation. The images depict two separate polls where players were asked if sniper rifles should be able to take down players with a single headshot. Both polls were overwhelmingly in support of snipers being able to do so.

Let us dig through the opinion of the player base and look closely at ModernWarzone’s poll for Warzone 2.

Activision conducted several tests before launching Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. Extensive tests are carried out to create a fair and balanced title that can uplift the players' experience. However, the developers also need to understand the needs of the player base and maintain flexibility for such changes.

The latest commotion in the community is if the weapons in the Sniper Rifle category should be able to take down enemy operators with a single clean headshot. Snipers are usually used to take long-range gunfights, which would imply that the damage fall-off needs to be reduced for such weapons.

ModernWarzone posted two standalone polls on Twitter and presented the question about snipers being able to 1-shot players. The polls saw a total of around 130,000 votes, where the first poll scored 87% in favor and the second secured 81% in favor. The data suggests that most players want to see the return of 1-shot snipers in Warzone 2.

ModernWarzone commented on the post and highlighted that the player does not directly support this idea without balance
