It’s Time For Call Of Duty To Have A Refresh, Not A Return To Basics Game Like Black Ops 6
The Call of Duty franchise needs a major refresh and change in genre rather than the back-to-basics style of gameplay that Black Ops 6 offers.
The Maelstrom isBlack Ops 6’s third Shotgun available to players, butit’s the only one with fully automatic capabilitiesand also features solid range and handling. The Maelstrom also boasts several attachments, including Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, and Fire Mods. While the weapon will pack a punch when you hold down the trigger, keep in mind thatyou’ll need to account for its high recoil, and it’s not a good fit for distance.
We recommend jumping into a Nuketown or Face-Off playlist to level up the weapon as quickly as possible inBlack Ops 6. The weapon will excel in smaller battlegrounds, but you still may want touse a Double XP Tokento speed up the process further. This will help you make the most of the Maelstrom and its capabilities.
