Raven Software enable Warzone 2 loadout drops in Christmas miracle

If you were planning on dropping into Al Mazrah - alone or in a squad - this holiday season, Raven Software has something of a present for you. From December 20, for the foreseeable future, Warzone 2 loadout drops are back. We know, it really is something of a Christmas miracle, isn't it?

We know you may be reading this and thinking that this is all some sick joke, like coal in your stocking or chocolate covered sprouts, but we're not kidding. Raven Software has just announced that players will be able to buy a Loadout Drop Grenade from buy stations across Al Mazrah to get instant access to all the best Warzone 2 loadouts and the best Warzone 2 guns without the need to clear a Stronghold or wait for the game's midpoint.

This is, of course, without a doubt, truly fantastic news. It's what we have all been waiting for, really, and makes levelling all those weapons up on Shipment 24/7 finally worthwhile. However, as always, there's something of a catch when it comes to the new Loadout Drop Grenade item.

Best Warzone 2 Loadout of the Week - stalk rooftops with this sniper

We know it's hard to say no to a Shipment-only playlist, but it's time to talk about the Call of Duty battle royale again and this week's entry into our Best Warzone 2 Loadout of the Week series. Last week, we talked about JGOD's perfect close range class - which will certainly help you in and around the major POIs. This week, though, we're here to talk about long-range options and making the most of one of the best Warzone 2 sniper rifle options available.

And, to do just that, we're taking a look at an SP-X 80 build that's sure to knock your festive socks off - courtesy of Call of Duty content creator Jack 'JackFrags' Mason. If you want to make the most of this weapon, then you'll find one of the best Warzone 2 SP-X 80 loadout builds below.

But, we know that's not the only thing you need to consider when creating a loadout. So, we're going to run through a deadly secondary weapon build too - and make sure you're using the best Warzone 2 perk packages on top of this - to make sure you're equipped for everything Al Mazrah will throw your way.

Modern Warfare 2 needs wilder skins and Shipment proves it

We know it's easy to sit here and find issues with the current state of Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, and the battle royale game Activision has decided to slap onto the side of it - again. However, as raw gameplay mechanics go, this generation of CoD games is actually pretty good - and, graphically, they look stunning. However, performance issues aside, Modern Warfare 2 has a skin problem - no, not that kind of skin problem. Modern Warfare 2 has an issue where hyper-realistic military aesthetics and cluttered environments are making things unnecessarily difficult in a situation where SBMM already makes every game a challenge. What's more, it's an issue that's making Shipment - a fan-favourite mess of a map - even more stressful.

In the past, Call of Duty players have rightfully called upon the shooter's developers to alter skins that contribute towards a 'pay to win' environment - the all-black Roze skin 'Rook' from the original Warzone is a prime example of this, and the recently-altered LA Thieves CDL skin proves that it's still something that crops up in-game. We should expect to see tweaks like these in Modern Warfare 2 patch notes to come, too.

However, while this can be an issue in certain environments, it's not actually the main problem Modern Warfare 2 faces right now - when it comes to skins, anyway. The main issue is that every Modern Warfare 2 skin looks the same. Not only this, but the improved visuals only seem to make these identical skins blend into the backdrops at a distance.
