remove monkey barrels from BR - RSOD - 06-22-2025

making it short because this is mostly to gauge other people's opinions on the matter
remove monkey barrels from battle royale.
here's my take:
monkey barrels are extremely annoying and lethal to deal with, even on big amounts of armor, as you'll likely end up spending the majority of your ammo / grenades on them (melee isn't an option because the moment you get knocked down, they pick the item up almost instantly and beat you to death with it)
i don't want to fight ~7 NPCs with rat sticks and cleavers that are all on one team that play literally better than human beings because their AI says so, i want to fight   the actual people in the lobby
sure, this may come off as biased (i have yet to win one BR round) but it just feels unfair to play against

Agreed. The monkeys can grabbed other weapon found in BR and multiple monkey barrell can spawn on BR.

Makes sense to me, especially as we already remove all the monkey vendors to stop this happening. Monkeys have been banished from BR.
