Earlier this year, Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific and Vanguard players found themselves in lobbies dominated by Akimbo Double Barrel shotguns<\/a> and begged developers Raven Software to release a balance update.<\/p>\n

Following the tremendous outcry from players, the developers finally caved on 20th January. They released a significant nerf to the Akimbo Double Barre<\/a>l shotgun damage, ultimately killing the dreaded ‘Double Barrel’ meta.<\/p>\n

While many players celebrated the weapon balance change, others who relied heavily on the build to boost their K\/D scores are bellowing in agony. So, naturally, players have taken to Reddit to express their joy to “see such bad and toxic players finally get shut down.”<\/p>\n

One Reddit user, Kalashcocknov, posted on the COD Vanguard subreddit, revealing how “hilarious” it is for them to see “all the bad players” that relied on the broken combat shotguns and double barrels meta cry in their matches.<\/p>\n

“They’re crying on Twitter, they’re crying on Reddit, and they’re especially crying in-game […] It brings me great joy,” the user wrote.<\/p>\n
