It's been quite some time since we've had a good old-fashion whine and whinge about Stim sticks, but it's time to break bread and wine and hash out our grievances with a stim-ulating rant.
That's pretty much the consensus of the community at the moment, as recent Stim-related exploits are ruining Warzone endgames and making for cheesy ways of winning games based solely on RNG.
Following on from what was dubbed as "one of the wildest wins" ever, players have become obsessed with piling Stims in their backpacks and reigniting the stim-glitch vibes from back in Verdansk.
Stim exploits are ruining Warzone again
Stim sticks used to be the bane of our lives on Warzone back in the Verdansk era, where glitches and exploits meant that players could survive in the gas for unlimited time. Back then, you could win games by simply choking everyone else out.
Now, the same is happening again, sort of, as players have found that densely-populated areas of stim spawns, such as medical buildings on Al Mazrah can be manipulated to have an incredible number of the health-regen items.
This means that if they're unlooted come the late-stages of games, players can survive in the storm for a few minutes - possibly long enough to win games.
The increasingly popular exploit is being used in many matches but has an air of un-sportsperson-like conduct. Now, popular streamers and content creators are calling for them to be nerfed
Bobbypoff calls for Warzone stims to be nerfed
Â
Following the increasingly annoying stim exploitation, popular streamer Bobby "Bobbypoff" Poffenbarger has begged the Warzone creators to fix stims "ASAP."
"Those guys have moved onto Diablo and forgot all about this game lmfaooo," he added, insinuating that Activision has chosen to put its faith in its other titles instead of Warzone.
Even Warzone Mogul James "JGOD" Godoy chipped in, saying, "Might need more stim in gas tuning, Raven Software." While stims are fair game right now, the item could be best placed with a fix to its spawn frequency, especially in hospitals or war camps, where they can keep players alive for far too long in the toxic waste.
