Swagg furious over Warzone 2’s gulag after it ruins $25k tournament match
Call of Duty content creator and competitor Swagg has lashed out at the Warzone 2 gulag, claiming it “sucks” and needs major adjustments from the battle royale’s developers.
The first Warzone’s gulag system was lauded by fans when it was released. Taking inspiration from the infamous Russian prisons, eliminated players participated in a 1v1 with the winner allowed to redeploy and re-enter the action.
Warzone 2 has brought the gulag back, albeit with a host of changes to its core mechanics.Matches are now 2v2, looting is possible and players also have to navigate the Jailer, a minigun-wielding AI in the gulag’s center.
There have beensome calls to return the gulag to its original formand, on December 20, Swagg unequivocally added his name to the list of those wanting the alterations reverted.
Swagg blasts Warzone 2 gulag after $25k tournament death
Playing in a $25,000 tournament, Swagg was eliminated and placed into the gulag. However, it went downhill when he was hit by consecutive shock grenades, failed to reload and was ultimately killed by an opponent.
Exploding inrageon his elimination he said: “This fking game sucks. This game fking sucks.”
On much the same note, he tweeted: “THE GULAG FKING SUCKS IN THIS FKING GAME WHY THE FK IS THERE A FKING JAILER WITH A FKING MINI GUN MAKING IT A 1v FKING 3.”
THE GULAG FUCKING SUCKS IN THIS FUCKING GAME WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A FUCKING JAILER WITH A FUCKING MINI GUN MAKING IT A 1v FUCKING 3
The Jailer certainly adds another layer of unpredictability into an already marginal situation.
Some like the volatility it provides but Swagg, especially off the back of losing his chance to win a share of the $25,000 prize pool, clearly thinks otherwise.
