Summary
Fortnitehas had a significant impact on the gaming industry as we know it today, there is no denying that. It’s rampant success ever since it shifted from a survival game to a battle royale behemoth has caught the attention of every big game publisher, each one desperate for a slice of the action. EA quickly latched onto the battle royale formula withApex Legends, followed by Activision Blizzard withCall of Duty: Warzone, but fans of the latter are beginning to detest Fortnite’s overall influence.
On Tuesday this week,a new trailer for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile was discovered by dataminersthat advertises a new weapon coming to the game (thanksIGN). This weapon is called the “Extra Crispy,” and allows players to not only cook fried chicken on their barrels and eat it, but you will also turn your enemies into fried chicken when you kill them. It’s immensely silly, and probably the goofiest thing that’s ever been added to a Call of Duty game.
Call of Duty fans have been upset with the series embracing wacky skins for quite some time,complaining about a lack of “visual cohesion”, but this new fried chicken gun appears to have pushed some over the edge.A tweet from Twitter user KelskiYTwent viral upon the discovery of this new weapon, which blames Fortnite for doing “unrepairable” damage to multiplayer gaming.
Call Of Duty Warzone’s Extra Crispy Chicken Gun Is Upsetting Fans
KelskiYT goes on to claim that Fortnite’s popularity is turning every multiplayer game into “a big blog of indistinguishable mush,” and that Call of Duty should go back to having a “consistent art style.” That comment has brought forth a wave of like-minded fans, upset with the game’s insistence on releasing “ugly overpriced cosmetics,” while some are actually saying Fortnite’s method of introducing zany cosmetics and features is better as it make sense and Call of Duty’s doesn’t.
Right now, it appears as though you’ll only be able to get the Extra Crispy fried chicken weapon when it launches on Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, so you can avoid it by not playing on that platform. That probably won’t alleviate the worries that fans have about Call of Duty getting sillier and sillier as the years go by, anda potential upcoming Deadpool collaboration probably won’t help matters.
