Bird's-Eye perk removed from Warzone 2 ahead of Season 2 update

Call of Duty: Warzone 2's Bird's-Eye perk is currently disabled. It is one of the game's most controversial perks, giving its users an unfair advantage in various circumstances. Hence, the developers have removed it from the battle royale title to level the playing field. However, Bird's-Eye is expected to be reinstated.

The Bird's-Eye perk is available in both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 and is unlocked at profile Level 47. When equipped, the perk expands the mini-map and allows players to see the direction their enemies are looking at. This enables them to reap the benefits of an Advanced UAV with a regular UAV.

While the perk isn't popular in Modern Warfare 2, it has become extremely effective in the battle royale game, where intel helps win matches.

Everything players need to know about removal of Bird's-Eye perk in Warzone 2

Raven Software, the company in charge of the development of Warzone 2, recently announced the removal of the Bird's-Eye perk from the battle royale game. They mentioned in the tweet that it is disabled for a limited time, and they are currently working to balance the perk so that it does not give players an unfair advantage.

They also stated that they are modifying the perk so that it can be included in customizable perk packages. At the moment, players can only obtain perks in the form of packages. Eight perk packages have been pre-defined by the developers. This means they cannot be customized, and players must pick one of those eight default packages. They are:

• Vanguard
• Commando
• Specter
• Scout
• Sentinel
• Warden
• Weapon Specialist
• Recon

Among these packages, Bird's-Eye belonged to the Recon class. Hence, players who have the Recon package equipped won't be able to take advantage of the Bird's-Eye perk until it is reinstated.

Customizable perk packages were revealed in the Season 2 community update. Furthermore, with the increased ability to obtain custom loadouts in Season 2, it is not surprising to see the developers tweaking one of the game's most overpowered perks.
