Tactical and Lethal equipment lacks the selection diversity seen in other classes. According toWZranked, players select heartbeat sensors 42% of the time, and stims have a 25% selection rate.

Warzoneplayers only use smoke grenades in just over one percent of matches. In other FPS titles, such asCS:GO, orValorant, smoke grenades and utilizing equipment play a crucial role. However, smoke grenades have never been included in the Warzone meta.

One Warzone player suggested a simple fix to make the tactical grenade more enticing.

Smoke grenades can be an excellent tool for players trying to reposition or change an engagement angle. However, Reddit usercandidbehaviorclaimed that combat scout and its short duration time are holding the tactical grenade back.

Combat scout is a perk that briefly gives away a player’s position when shot. It renders smoke grenades useless because enemies can see through the smoke.

The Warzone player suggested, “when a player is inside the smoke, hitmarkers should not apply to them when they get shot at.”

No hitmarkers registering would provide a counter to combat scout and increase the viability of thermal scopes.
