9 Overpowered Weapons That RUINED Multiplayer Games

Like a lot of the franchises on this list, Call of Duty is no stranger to meta-breaking weapons. This whole list could have been comprised of guns from that series, whether it's the already mentioned 1887s or World At War's MP40, so because of that I've tried to be as recent as possible, and zeroed in on the weapon that's caused havoc in the battle royale spin-off, Warzone.

Now, Warzone is an awesome title - it's the most fun I've ever had with battle royale - but the new seasons have a habit of either introducing new weapons or buffing current ones in a way that creates these overpowered monstrosities.

As a result, since its introduction in Season 2, the Grau quickly became the weapon of choice thanks to its limited damage drop off and laser-accurate precision. Once players had their loadout drop you could bet they'd have one of these, mowing you down with automatic fire from well-guarded hiding spots while you had, like, a basic uzi.

It quickly drew the ire of fans, and thankfully received a bit of a nerf following Season 4, but it's still a top-tier gun. Thankfully, it no longer results in the same level of rage-quitting.
