Warzone players think secret nerf has made C4 explosives “useless”

Warzone Pacific players claim C4 explosives have become completely “useless” in combat — and are wondering if a secret nerf is to blame for its recent performance.

When selecting your Warzone weapon loadout, it’s always helpful to equip a piece of lethal equipment that can dish out additional damage to enemies. For most of Warzone’s lifespan, the C4 has been an extremely useful choice.

You can throw this lethal equipment far to cause some serious pain to your opponents and annihilate vehicles. However, players are frustrated that the C4 has been dealing minimal damage to both players and vehicles in Warzone Pacific Season 2.

Many in the CoD Warzone community have reported this problem in recent weeks, and Reddit user ‘trp8’ highlighted this issue in the game’s subreddit, asking fellow players if they thought the C4 is “useless.”

The Redditor wrote: “They don’t disable or destroy vehicles now. A teammate and I hit a jeep with two at the same time and still didn’t destroy it. Seems like they really have no place in the game right now.”

This led to many of the commenters coming up with possible explanations for what’s happening, concluding that the C4 probably received a secret nerf in a recent Warzone update.

Another prevailing theory is that the C4 has become ineffective as a result of a secret buff that made vehicles impossible to destroy. Some believe that the devs buffed every vehicle’s health after adding Armored Transport Trucks in Warzone Pacific Season 2.

However, it seems more likely that the C4 received a nerf as it’s reportedly dealing limited damage against other players as well. Hopefully, the developers will address this problem in a future update.
