Highlights

  • Fans of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are divided on the powerful Breacher Drone, with some suggesting it should be a Field Upgrade rather than a normal lethal item.
  • The Breacher Drone's ability to explode upon contact and take out multiple enemies has led to concerns about its frequency of use in game modes like Mosh Pit and Ground War.
  • However, moving the Breacher Drone to the Field Upgrade slot would limit its usage due to the cooldown meter, leading to debates about its value and effectiveness in Modern Warfare 3.

Some fans in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 community are debating about the use of the Breacher Drone after experiencing what the lethal item is capable of in the open beta. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, new and returning players may take advantage of numerous weapons and features, including the ability to avoid the blinding effect from flash grenades - though it is a new lethal item that is one of the biggest topics of focus.

The second open beta weekend for Modern Warfare 3 introduced Highrise 24/7 and Search and Destroy into the playlist lineup, allowing players to enjoy two fan favorite modes during the beta's final few days. Moreover, the beta's level cap was also increased to level 30 with additional rewards such as an exclusive Jabber operator skin. While playing through the beta, some Modern Warfare 3 players have expressed their concern about the powerful new Breacher Drone item.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Could Be Making a Big Change to One Grenade

A notable leaker claims that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 could be making a major change to one of the franchise's most useful grenades.

Call of Duty fan TheMW2Ghost sparked a debate among some fans in the community after stating that the Breacher Drone should become a Field Upgrade in Modern Warfare 3, implying that it's too overpowered to be a normal lethal item. Breacher Drones may be thrown in the direction of an enemy and immediately explode upon contact. The Breacher Drone's explosion is enough to take out more than one enemy, and some fans believe the item is too powerful to be used so frequently in Modern Warfare 3's game modes like Mosh Pit and Ground War.

However, many other players disagree with TheMW2Ghost and believe the Breacher Drone is a fun item to use. In fact, the Breacher Drone is one of Sledgehammer Games' favorite items in Modern Warfare 3. If the Breacher Drone is moved into the Field Upgrade slot, it's use in Modern Warfare 3 matches would be drastically reduced. This is due to the Field Upgrade's cooldown meter, which may be replenished over time by earning score in matches. Some fans argue that this decision would greatly restrict the item and diminish its value in Modern Warfare 3.

It's clear that debates over the Breacher Drone will persist if the lethal item remains unchanged at launch in Modern Warfare 3. Fortunately, Sledgehammer Games is open to feedback and has already made multiple changes during the open beta. One of these quick changes include a notable nerf to Modern Warfare 3's Battle Rage equipment. The second open beta weekend for Modern Warfare 3 will end on October 16, so players still have some time to level up and share feedback before launch.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 launches November 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
