Today, a new trailer was released showing Reaper in action but like all characters in Blackout Reaper won't have any special abilities. In addition, Reaper is only limited to Blackout and not the competitive multiplayer.

The release of Operation Apocalypse Z in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has introduced the new Reaper Specialist in Multiplayer, and many are calling its weapon and equipment too overpowered.

The latest major update in Black Ops 4 went live on July 9, marking the launch of the fifth Operation content stream – Apocalypse Z. 

As with the previous Operations, Apocalypse Z brought with it a lot of new content and changes, including the addition of Reaper in Multiplayer, after it had already been a playable character in Blackout battle royale.

The Reaper’s weapon is called the Scythe – a machine gun with an extremely high fire rate and damage potential, which also causes a suppression effect like the Titan LMG’s Operator Mod.

While the Reaper has only been in Multiplayer for less than a day, many players have already made note on how powerful its weapon is, perhaps even too powerful.

Not only is the Scythe powerful enough to shred through enemies in just a couple of bullets, it also seems to last a pretty long time, allowing players to go on massive kill-streaks.

The powerful nature of its weapon has also raised questions about how the Reaper will fit into the competitive side of the game, such as in League Play and the CWL, especially with it being so late into the season.

The capabilities of both Scythe and Radar Shroud can be seen in the video below, courtesy of YouTuber Acez Gaming.
