Trios in Call of Duty: Warzone has been shaken up in a major with the addition of the Scopes and Scatter Guns game mode which limits the kinds of weapons that players can use in their fight to be the last ones riding out on the helicopter when the gas closes in on Verdansk. Fortunately, we have everything you need to know about the Scopes and Scatter Guns Trios game mode covered for you so that you know what you are jumping into beforehand.
UPDATE: Infinity Ward has removed the Scopes and Scatter Guns game mode and replaced it with the regular Trios playlist in a recent update to the Battle Royale following community feedback.
Tonight’s playlist update is rolling out now across all platforms! BR Trios is back along with replacing Plunder Quads with Plunder Duos! #Warzone https://t.co/Kox49DKprh

Call of Duty: Warzone Scopes and Scatter Guns Trios
Now, the most critical aspect of this new game mode is that players can only use sniper rifles and shotguns. All other kinds of weapons are not allowed, and players can not find any different types of weapons besides shotguns and snipers when it comes to loot.
The only exception to this limitation is that players still start the game with the X16 pistol in the same way they do in regular matches.

Loadout drops are also not available in this particular game mode, which means that you can not make a loadout with a sniper and shotgun and use it. This lack of loadout drops is significant, as it means that players can not acquire perks in the Scopes and Scatter Guns Trios game mode. The lack of perks means that you will not be able to utilize the likes of Cold-Blooded and Ghost to camouflage yourself from thermal scopes, UAVs, and heartbeat sensors, which have always been essential strategies for Call of Duty: Warzone players.
The shotguns and snipers that are available in this game mode are the ones that are available in the regular playlists for the Battle Royale. Players who use these weapons regularly are going to be much more comfortable for players who do not use these types of weapons and are not forced to use them in the Scopes and Scatter Guns Trios game mode.
Every enemy team is going to have snipers, so you and your teammates will be wise not to stay out in wide-open places for too long if you do not want to be taken out from long-distances. Shotguns are also going to be on every team, so you will need to be extra careful when it comes to clearing buildings, as there could be a shotgun ready to take you down in a shot or two.
