The latest Call of Duty: Warzone event has players battle while Godzilla and King Kong ravage the game’s map, but some players have found an easy exp exploit by entering Kong’s danger zone. Since the game’s launch in March 2020, Call of Duty: Warzone has experienced several issues, including complaints of glitches and hackers. Like other popular free-to-play battle royale games, developers have kept players entertained with themed events containing exclusive unlocks.
Since Warzone‘s launch, players have been able to unlock and purchase a wide variety of customizable gear and special skins. One of the game’s most recent purchasable bundles added Snoop Dogg to Warzone as a playable skin. During last year’s holiday season, another special event had players earning new gear while battling the terrifying Krampus. However, the game’s latest event, Operation Monarch, has players completing objectives while Godzilla and King Kong terrorize Warzone‘s massive map. And some players have risked getting close to one of these Kaiju’s most private areas and, surprisingly, they are being rewarded for it.
Some fearless Call of Duty: Warzone players are earning loads of exp points by using a helicopter to shave off some damage from King Kong’s hairy pelvic region. As reported by GameSpot, Reddit user Mundoschristmas posted a short clip on the CODWarzone subreddit of the incredibly gutsy maneuver, which earned them loads of damage against the giant ape. Mods have apparently removed the post, but the clip can still be watched below. Luckily the developers of Warzone chose not to build Operation Monarch’s Kaiju guests in a more anatomically correct way. Still, one could imagine that Kong would not be too thrilled to receive such a haircut.
Players were excited to hear about the newest Call of Duty Warzone event including such well-known monsters like Godzilla and King Kong. However, many of the game’s most popular players have expressed their disappointment with Warzone‘s Operation Monarch event. While it does feature the two well-known titans in a cross-over for the Godzilla vs. Kong film that was released more than a year ago, the two figures never actually battle. This fact, plus a series of glitches, has caused popular streamers like Dr. Disrespect to rank this Warzone event incredibly low compared to other live-service events.
It isn’t clear if Warzone’s Operation Monarch event was initially planned to release alongside the Godzilla vs. Kong film. Development on the event may have been halted due to the global pandemic, which would explain why the event was released so much later than the movie. Obviously, some players are still having fun with the event, even if the game’s most popular streamers and King Kong are not. The Call of Duty: Warzone Operation Monarch event will continue until May 25th.
