CoD: WW2 Datamine Suggests Non-Cosmetic Loot Boxes May Be Coming
Which, to be fair, Activision has- they introduced their own loot boxes to Call of Duty: WW2, which so far have been cosmetic only. But something more sinister may be upcoming- according to some datamines for the game’s files, it seems like Legendary and Epic rank weapons will soon be available in loot boxes, too. While you will be able to grind for them in game- given the blowback for Battlefront 2.
The concern comes when you ask what Sledgehammer are planning on doing with those datamined weapons (if anything - the usual caveat that not everything in a datamine will make it into the game should be borne in mind). In Black Ops III, weapon variants were added to loot boxes after launch that had different, and sometimes better, stats than the base gun.
This is the line that no-one wants to see crossed again. Provided they're only cosmetic, or can also be earned through gameplay (as in Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare Remastered), the community seems ready to tolerate this. There's no indication in the datamine one way or the other.
Right now, it has not- so no reason to get the pitchforks out just yet. But we need to be wary and vigilant- hopefully, Activision is smart and doesn’t implement these in game. Call of Duty: WW2 is out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The stats of the weapons aren't different than the original, besides the only thing extra is the 10% xp each kill and some of the sights are different

Its not really all that bad if you can grind for them in-game.. if that wasn't the case then it would ruin the game totally.

Wow what a surprise lmao
They've been in every game since AW they're coming 100%
If they had the balls to throw them in MWR then it's obvious they'd put them here

This dosent really bother me its only when they start adding new weapons from supply drops only that it ruins it for me, others are probably different. as long as you can get it without needing to spend money on them to get it i dont mind personaly
