RESTRICTED WEAPONS, ATTACHMENTS, AND EQUIPMENT

Camping has been a rampant issue in public matches, especially with access to the notorious 725 shotgun and claymores, but these items will not be available in competitive modes and should allow for a more even playing field.

Every Call of Duty restricts certain weapons and items in the competitive format to maintain a balanced meta.

The following weapons have been restricted from competitive play:

  • LMG (all)
  • Shotgun (all)
  • Melee – Riot Shield
  • Launchers (all)

Restricted attachments:

  • M203 40mm Concussive
  • M203 40mm Smokescreen
  • M203 40mm Recon
  • M203 40mm High-Explosive
  • M203 4omm Flash
  • M203 40mm Incendiary
  • 12 Gauge Deputy
  • Frangible-Wounding

Restricted Equipment:

  • Claymore
  • C4
  • Molotov Cocktail
  • Proximity Mine
  • Heartbeat Sensor
  • Gas Grenade
  • Snapshot Grenade
  • Stim

All explosive weapons apart from Frag Grenades and Semtex Grenades are banned in competitive play.

The new Frangible weapon perk has been banned because of its ability to slow health regeneration after taking damage.

Shotguns and LMG’s are also commonly banned in competitive play due to their power in close range combat and high rate of fire respectively.

 

RESTRICTED KILLSTREAKS, PERKS, AND FIELD UPGRADES

All Killstreaks are restricted beside the following:

  • Cluster Strike
  • Cruise Missile
  • Precision Airstrike
  • VTOL Jet
  • Chopper Gunner
  • Support HELO
  • Gunship

Restricted Perks:

  • Overkill
  • High Alert
  • Restock
  • Shrapnel
  • Tracker
  • Frangible Wounding

Restricted Field Upgrades:

  • Recon Drone
  • Stopping Power
  • Weapon Drop
  • Tactical Insertion
  • Deployable Cove

All restricted killstreaks and perks follow the overall established competitive meta, and the restricted field upgrades ban options that could potentially disrupt the flow of gameplay.
