Call of Duty: Warzone’sseason four update is a few weeks away, but season three is changing with some big nerfs and buffs to existing guns today.
The new update, now live inWarzone, aims to shake up the meta by reducing the efficiency of some top guns like the CR-56 AMAX, and bringing some others up to speed with some help, like the Krig C and C9 SMG.
Season Three Reloaded added Ranked Play toWarzone, so it’s important for battle royale grinders to know what weapons are at the top of the heap when it comes to stacking W’s and rank points. That’s why we’re here to help.
Check out what’s new inWarzoneby reading the patch notes below.
Warzone patch notes today: May 7
Well, it was fun while it lasted,AMAX. The nostalgic AR has had its time to shine in Verdansk, and according to Activision, that time is now over. The AR received some nerfs to its headshot multiplier, sprint to fire speed, and aim down sight speed.
TheAK-74(max damage nerf) has been brought down a notch in the update, while theC9SMG got a buff to its maximum damage. TheKrig Chas also gotten buffed with some changes “to allow it to compete at longer range engagements.” And in one final nerf, theHDRsniper rifle that’s been terrorizing Verdansk also got taken back a bit.
The HDR nerf in question is all about flinch resistance, which prevents aim punch while aiming down sights with the sniper. It’s been nerfed by a whopping 60 percent in the update, along with further nerfs to flinch resistance for a couple of popular Stock attachments.
Read below to see the specific changes to the top guns and reconsider your loadouts before dropping back in tonight.
