After complaints of Warzone 2’s Birdseye perk being overpowered, Raven Software has confirmed that it’s been shelved for now.
Warzone 2’s perk system is set to change upon the arrival of Season 2 on Wednesday, February 15, but that hasn’t stopped the developers from making some changes ahead of the update. The Birdseye perk has been a point of contention among Call of Duty players, as it's essentially an unlimited Advanced UAV in its current state. Taking over from Birdseye in the Recon Perk Package will be the Survivor Ultimate Perk – which allows players to be revived faster while pinging the player that downed them.
Raven Software, which handles Warzone 2's battle royale portion, dropped the news on Twitter, saying that the perk has been disabled for now, and is currently getting rebalanced so it's ready to get rolled out again in a future update as part of Season 2’s new customisable Perk Packages.
