The Heavy Chopper Has Been Disabled in Battle Royale: Raven Software said on Friday that they had temporarily disabled the Heavy Chopper in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 in order to achieve a more even balance.
As many players of Warzone 2 will tell, the Heavy Chopper, while a sight to behold, was occasionally quite unreliable. It seems now that Raven wants to make things right, but she needs some time to do it.
“The Heavy Chopper has been disabled in Battle Royale while we investigate options to balance this vehicle for late game, “The tweet from Raven Software reads like an official statement.
Numerous gamers have recently pointed out that the Heavy Chopper’s ridiculously high strength has made it a joke to employ in Warzone 2.
However, despite the fact that Warzone 2’s introduction of fuel and the ability to repair vehicle damage has had a significant impact on the game’s other vehicles, the Heavy Chopper appears to be an exception to this trend.
Due to its apparently unlimited life and fuel, the Heavy Chopper allowed players to basically climb in it early in the battle, wait until late game, and beam everyone underneath them who had managed to scrape their way to the final circle.

It seems sensible to remove the Heavy Chopper from play until the appropriate nerfs are implemented, even though Raven did not provide an estimate for when it will return.
While this is being worked on, there are a number of additional complaints from Warzone 2 players that need fixings, such as the “overpowering AI” and the lack of a Combat Records screen.
