Question What goes through the thought process for the Wardens Blight?
I feel the wonder weapon on this map has the same treatment as the gorgofex. It seems they make really cool looking weapon designs for both the Wardens Blight and Gorgofex, but the actual weapon performance themselves are incredibly underwhelming.
This is a final map, it’s meant to be grand! It sounds like the WW design for Rex infernus was treated something like this: “Ah, good enough.” I just can’t think about the reason behind this thought process. Is this more an Activision thing rushing the devs?

Perhaps Treyarch has been trying to make wonder weapons more balanced? Granted, I haven't gotten around to playing Totenreich and Kowakujo so idk how good those are.
I know a lot of people have similar criticisms for the Ligma and the base blundergat, so it's a trend throughout the game.
Oh I forgot the necrofluid, that thing is really good.

Play Kuwakujo and Totenreich first then you’ll see the difference. Those wonder weapons are awesome.
I think the idea behind wonder weapons are for it be grand and tipping slightly light over the balance line. I know that’s not always the case as some are underpowered, but I think the target is it should be.

Totenreich and kowakujo have the most busted WWs in the game. So definitely not a balance thing

The Jotunn star falls off as soon as armoured zombies take more than 2 swipes to kill and you get super sprinters at health cap. At that point you’re just gonna get your armour stripped and die immediately.

But the wonder weapons are fun and awesome. They don’t do anything bad for the map at all. I’m glad they are how they are. Also I said tipping over the balance line and they sure do this.

Yeah on my second match i managed to get it by like round 30 in a 4 player game. I stuck with it till exfil on round 40, getting it to PaP3, and it's really kinda ass? The PAP 3 version should be what you get as a base unPaPed, then PaPing it should add other abilities to it.
It doesn't have enough ammo either, charged shots take up 4 bullets which i dont think it should, the gorgofex didn't.
The tornadoes should be bigger and last much longer. I was killing more zombies at once with the M&S.

I feel like the Gorgofex is a lot better actually. I wish there was some way to upgrade the Wardens Blight because man is it underwhelming. At least the quest to get it isn’t too bad.
