Warzone 2 Heavy Chopper disabled for balance

The Heavy Chopper has been temporarily disabled in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 for balancing, Raven Software announced on Friday.

As many Warzone 2 can probably attest, while cool to see in game, the Heavy Chopper could be really broken at times. Now it looks like Raven is trying to rectify the situation, but it will take him some time to do so.

“The Heavy Chopper has been disabled in Battle Royale while we investigate options to balance this vehicle for the late game,” Raven Software’s Twitter announcement read.

As many players have pointed out over the past few weeks, the Heavy Chopper was just incredibly powerful to use in Warzone 2. Although Warzone 2 introduced two factors that drastically affected its other vehicles in the game – fuel and the ability to repair vehicle damage – the Heavy Chopper didn’t seem to play by the same rules for some reason. With seemingly infinite health and fuel, players could literally hop in the Heavy Chopper early in the match, wait for the late game and beam everyone else down, or manage to fight their way to the last circle.

While Raven hasn’t given an estimate as to when the Heavy Chopper will be back, it certainly makes sense to keep him out of the game for now until the proper nerfs are made.

In the meantime, there are certainly plenty of other issues that players are tired of Warzone 2 that could use some attention, from the lack of a battle recording screen to the “overwhelming AI”.
