CoD: Warzone and MW3 Season 5 Reloaded Patch Notes Reveal RPK Nerf and New Warzone Features
Warzone Weapon Adjustments
Warzone’s most popular weapon was the STG-44 assault rifle in Season 5, but the mid-season update weakens the weapon slightly, with maximum damage reduced from 36 to 32.
While the STG-44 nerf doesn’t seem significant enough to impact the weapon’s power and popularity, the update also brings some buffs to make other long-range weapons viable for Warzone.
The BAL-27 assault rifle has been buffed to increase its maximum damage range from 26.67 meters to 31.75 meters. This weapon was already a popular choice for Resurgence’s smaller maps, so this change opens up the possibility of longer-range combat across Warzone’s various maps.
For the MCW assault rifle, some changes have been made to improve the weapon’s performance. The maximum damage range is increased from 30.48 to 36.83 meters, the average damage range is increased from 38.1 to 44.45 meters, and the average damage range is increased from 48.26 to 53.34 meters.
