The midseason update for Call of Duty: Warzone has released, and with it comes Rebirth Reinforced. This version of the map is comparable to Verdansk 84 in the sense that it makes key adjustments to the original map and its overall flow, providing a few new points of interest to fight through. Overall, though, the layout is extremely similar to that of the original Rebirth Island.
While many are happy to have an opportunity to experience a new take on the small map, and some are even finding neat secrets within the latest version of this Call of Duty: Warzone play space, not every change has been welcomed with open arms. In particular, many gamers are frustrated to see the Juggernaut suit make a return in Rebirth Resurgence, and this annoyance is leading several gamers to call for the removal of the bulky armor.
Call of Duty: Warzone’s Juggernaut Suit Does Not Fit Rebirth Island Well
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Call of Duty: Warzone has featured a Juggernaut suit, nor is it the only time gamers have complained about it being available. Originally, the armor appeared in Verdansk, and while it does have its downsides - like Juggernauts constantly being marked on the map for all to see - many found it frustrating to play against. According to Reddit user -bart-, this particular streak is even more problematic on the new version of Rebirth Island.
According to the Call of Duty: Warzone player, the main issue with the Juggernaut suit is that it is “impossible to kill in close quarters.” This is a fair point, especially with Rebirth Reinforced being a tiny map. With several small, enclosed buildings seen throughout, the Juggernaut undoubtedly has the advantage a lot of the time, and someone in the suit could essentially hold down one of these indoor areas until the very end of the match - engaging in a final fight with full health on their armored suit.
The Redditor also makes the good point that streaks are not as effective on Rebirth Island as they are on more open maps like Caldera and Verdansk, meaning that airstrikes are no longer a viable way to eliminate the walking tanks. Other commenters like revilohamster say that the Juggernauts are one of the few flaws in the new version of Rebirth, while Nintendo_Pro_03 jokes that they will be removed after six months of complaints from fans – a nod to how long it can take for fixes to be made.
Several other comments call the Juggernaut unnecessary, as nobody ever asked for it to come to Rebirth Island. Others pointed out how deadly it can be, with FroundD stating that they got 17 kills with the Juggernaut suit in their match. In the right hands, the armor can be devastating, and many players simply want to engage in fair fights against enemies with the same armor and health that they have. For now, all gamers can do is push Raven Software to remove Juggernaut suits.
Overall, Rebirth Reinforced can be deemed a success, as many fans seem to be loving the changes apart from this specific mechanic. As such, it would be for the best to see the Juggernauts removed in the near future. Following all the controversy surrounding Caldera, Call of Duty: Warzone needs a win, and it seems like Rebirth Reinforced would be unanimously popular if the rework did not include Juggernauts.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
