Call of Duty: WWII’s variants are cosmetic—but there may be a loophole

4.6
Michael Condrey, co-founder of Call of Duty: WWII developer Sledgehammer Games, recently expanded on the shooter’s Supply Drop system in a Reddit AMA, but his response is open for interpretation.

When asked if Supply Drops in Call of Duty: WWII would offer weapon variants, Sledgehammer Games’ co-founder confirmed that weapon and gear variants would be cosmetic only.

“Yes. All weapon variants and gear variants in Call of Duty: WWII supply drops are cosmetic only, so there are no stat-based variants in play,” Condrey wrote. “We’re also offering players Collections and Collection Bounties, giving a direct path for our community to earn items through all modes of MP and Headquarters play.”

While some took this to mean that WWII would do away with the habit of more recent Call of Duty games granting players superior weaponry through random drops, that isn’t exactly what Condrey said. Condrey claimed that variants will be only cosmetic, but this still leaves open the possibility for Supply Drops to offer new weapons outside the multiplayer’s base selection.

It is unclear if Condrey is being purposefully specific or unintentionally vague, but hopefully the developers clarify the Supply Drop situation before launch. Condrey recently conveyed some more direct information on the game’s multiplayer in a developer breakdown of the shooter’s multiplayer trailer.

Call of Duty: WWII is slated to launch November 3rd on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC

Yeah yeah they gotta make money, but come on lol. Why can't they just listen to the fans and make us happy instead of worrying about making the most money... ridiculous and its driving the brand into the dirt.

Please do not allow supply drops to come, I cannot deal with shitty cosmetic garbage ruining the look of a game. Keep it historically accurate, none of these pink skins or other bullshit

I get that supply drops are just stupid money grabs for game devs however it doesn't ruin a game, the game still plays exactly how its supposed to be played even if there is a tab that says "store" or "black market" so I dunno why people get mad at supply drops, I still agree they are dumb and wish they weren't in the game in the first place but, everyone wants to make money.

I doubt it will stay cosmetic only, they said the same thing for BO3 and MWR.
Way to much money to be made on variants for them not to do it.
