The fact that Call of Duty: Warzone 2 would have a number of potential opportunities for gameplay exploits isn’t particularly surprising, considering the sheer number of unique vehicles, weapons, and gadgets available. Some of them, however, have gotten substantially more oppressive than others have, and the Heavy Chopper has now been taken to task for it.

Much as was the case with Warzone 2’s temporary removal of certain Perks, Raven Software has now taken the game’s Heavy Chopper out for maintenance, making it unavailable for use in Battle Royale modes. An immensely powerful flying combat platform, the Heavy Chopper essentially allowed players to camp out entire Warzone matches in the air, only jumping into the fray in its final stages. Even more frustrating was the Heavy Chopper’s ability to hover in place wherever the players wanted it to, which means it was possible to set up an impromptu sniping nest wherever needed.

Though the player base wasn’t thrilled that important features such as Warzone 2’s Combat Records got postponed instead of coming out as part of Season 1 Reloaded update, the disabling of the Heavy Chopper should make the game more enjoyable to the average player. What proves as much is that, on Twitter, many have jumped to praise Raven Software’s decision to temporarily ban the Heavy Chopper from Warzone 2.

Of course, this does nothing for exploits such as Warzone 2’s flying boat hacker which came up just a few weeks back, as those are entirely unpredictable and unplanned. The Heavy Chopper itself, however, was always supposed to be a sort of flying fortress for players who don’t mind hovering above the playing area for long stretches of time. Now, this functionality may end up getting revised in some sense.

Players that have already accrued plenty of game time will know that Warzone 2 is still missing many features, but the developers do appear to be working hard to alleviate these problems. Over time, the game’s feature set is bound to grow, and if Raven Software’s approach to development is anything to go by, outlier vehicles and gadgets will be getting tuned accordingly, too.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
