The Dropshot

This was among the most fun episodes Tanner and I have ever done. Here, we tackle another collection of fantastic questions submitted by our small, but vibrant, and extremely humble community via the Discord. We talk about the insufficiencies of the gunsmith stat bars, our favorite Warzone drop spots, whether to use mouse or controller on PC, what we would change if we were in charge of Activision...

Episode 40 covers some recent patches and some exciting news items, including the return of regular Warzone quads, the new operator Gaz, some novel limited-time play modes, and more. We also cover the weapon tuning changes that are coming mid-season 4, and talk about what we think that means, and what we hope it will ultimately be. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wednesday and Saturda...

Tanner and I assess what the future of Call of Duty will entail - not just for CoD 2020, but for titles beyond it as well. We go over how Modern Warfare 2019 has been radically different than every other Call of Duty of the past, and in which of those ways future games will be different as well. It's not looking great, folks! The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wednesday and Saturday nigh...

Episode 38 is a bit of a shorty, but we nonetheless go over some stuff that's changed, and on the horizon. We talk about some new bundles, playlist updates, bug fixes, the revelation that an optic reduces recoil, and more. We also touch on the Chris D'eleted situation, and have some exciting announcements. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wednesday and Saturday night at 7 o'clock Pacif...

Episode 37 is another glorious Q&A podcast in which Tanner and I hit a variety of topics, including Treyarch vs. Infinity Ward, a discussion of Hardcore mode players, how to get better in general, and much more. We also give our thoughts on Season 4 thus far, and the effectiveness of the Fennec and the CR-56 Amax. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wednesday and Saturday night at 7 o'clo...

Tanner and I come out swinging in episode 36, in which we go over the many changes that have just come to the game as a result of season 4.

In this landmark episode, Tanner and I are honored, humbled, and privileged to have on the notorious @ModernWarzone, a staple in the Call of Duty leaker community, to discuss... well, pretty much everything. We talk about his life, how he got started in this business, and his meteoric rise to prominence. We also discuss his philosophy, go over some new leaks, and answer questions submitted by our...

Tanner and I had originally planned to go over the details of Season 4, but due to its delay we cover the torrent of news items, leaks, and rumors circulating the Call of Duty community. We talk about the impending changes to the Warzone map, Verdansk, as well as some remastered maps coming back for CoD 2020, and much more. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wednesday and Saturday night...

Tanner and I have played quite a bit of Warzone since its launch, and have started to win quite reliably. As such, we dedicated episode 33 to the battle royale. We cover every possible facet of how to maximize your chances of winning in WZ; loadout setups, positioning, gulag tips, and much more. We also, briefly, sing the praises of capitalism... The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wednes...

Episode 32 is chalked full of information; both stealth changes recently uncovered and leaks hidden within the game's files. Tanner and I comb through all of these things and are absolutely aghast at the purported RPG nerf. We end on going through all of the new weapons we'll, hopefully, be seeing in Season 4. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wednesday and Saturday night at 7 o'clock P...

Tanner and I unleash the fire hydrant of questions we received from the Discord and tackle an array of different subject matter regarding Call of Duty in both multiplayer and in Warzone. We talk about the tyranny of Activision, toxic players in the battle royale, K/D versus W/L, and much more. There are also plenty of detours along the way, and the possibility of a rather explicit limerick… The po...

Tanner and I go through quite a few changes in episode 30 that came about after the most recent patch 1.21. We talk about the playlist updates, the new vaults that are now acessible in Warzone, the calling card reward added for winning a Warzone match, and more. We also have some news on CoD 2020 about which we speculate, and some changes to the Warzone map and what they could mean. The podcast is...

This episode was a deep-dive into camping in Call of Duty: what it is, why it's bad for everyone, and how it can be fixed in future titles. Tanner and I compare Black Ops 4 to Modern Warfare, and through this analysis, pinpoint why camping is so much more common in MW than it was in BO4. I also get baited into defending myself from a baseless allegation from Tanner... The podcast is streamed live...

More hidden changes! Huzzah! Tanner and I begin this episode by gloating about our completely accurate prediction that IW would require free-to-play accounts to link an SMS number to play Warzone, and discuss the implications of that. We also go over the .357 nerf, the hidden changes found by XclusiveAce, the MW3 map Hardhat's inevitable return, and more! The podcast is streamed live on Twitch eve...

This was the absolute craziest, most supportive stream Tanner and I have ever done. In this episode, Tanner and I answer some more questions we got from the Discord, as well as go over the new playlist update. We lament the return of Shipment 10 v. 10, speculate more on what's inside the Warzone bunkers, provide an insider leak, and more. Special thanks to everyone who watched live; we got a ton o...

After Activision Blizzard's shareholder meeting, Tanner and I go over all of the revelations that were made there. First, we go through the recent patch notes and, of course, the hidden changes that came with it. We also speculate on when Duos will release for Warzone, glean what the massive financial success of Warzone implies for future CoD titles, list off leaked play modes, and more. The podca...

Episode 25 focuses on making predictions about CoD 2020 - things that we're likely to see, and things that we hope to see. We cover things like the return of operators, the Pick-10 create-a-class system, scorestreaks vs. killstreaks, callable nukes, and much more. We've also got some new channels set up in the Discord, and Tanner's stream is absolutely thriving. Check below for his Twitch channel,...

Patch 1.20 brings a lot for us to talk about on Episode 24. We go over the patch notes and what they bring, including some much needed quality of life adjustments, as well as the ultimate travesty that it is. We weigh in on the new Obsidian camo, the new "Most Wanted" contract type, and more. Tanner and I also go over the announcement that akimbo snakeshot and the RPG will soon be nerfed, we lamen...

Episode 23 is a weird one! Tanner and I do another Q&A stream and answer a few questions: is "quick-scoping" gone? Why use the tactical suppressor over the monolithic? Night-vision Warzone mode, yes or no? All these, and more, are answered. We also get a bit off-track toward the end of the pod and get a little political! So if that's not your cup of tea, well, hey, close the app! So keep that in m...

Welcome to the rumor mill! Tanner and I go through the very few patches and playlist updates that released in the past week, then cover quite a few news items. "Fortnite-like events," Call of Duty 2020: Vietnam, MW2 multiplayer remastered, and more are discussed. We also talk about the spectacularly stupid decision by Infinity Ward to "match suspected cheaters together." The podcast is streamed li...

Episode 21 is a landmark episode in which we try out a bit of a different topic. Here, Tanner and I go through the next-gen console specs, and we explicate why you absolutely should not buy one - and should instead join the great PC master race. The new Dropshot LytSign makes an appearance as well, and the episode is an all around jolly good time. The podcast is streamed live on Twitch every Wedne...

Season 3 brought many changes; some of these were listed in the patch notes, but most of these, of course, were not. Tanner and I go over both the listed and unlisted changes that have come to the game since Season 3's launch and go over a few other prognostications about things to come. I also have a difficult time beliving the CEO of Activision Blizzard gave out his personal cell phone number to...

Episode 18 sports a tidal wave of exciting new developments.

We go over Xclusive Ace's findings in a video he did on whether or not there is, in fact, Skill Based Match Making (or SBMM) in Warzone. We provide a summary of his video (which you should watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clIdnyiISpU ) and the implications of the results. Why is SBMM bad? Are there any upsides? The episode ends with a disagreement about Grazna Raid between Tanner and I...
