All Warzone 2 weapon nerfs and buffs in October 23 update

Call of Duty Warzone 2 kicked off The Haunting event with the October 23, 2023 patch to celebrate Halloween. The new update brought about some changes for a few guns in the available weapons arsenal. Such patches are important for a large online multiplayer title to provide the community with a balanced playing ground and remove existing problems.

Warzone 2 is a tactical shooter and requires the presence of a balanced set of weapons for the community to enjoy. However, the choice of guns can vary from one individual to another as the playstyles also vary drastically. This is an important step for online titles as it paves the way for new gameplay content.

In the most recent patch, the developers target some of the weapons and introduce nerfs and buffs to improve the overall experience. This article will highlight all weapon adjustments in Warzone 2’s latest patch.
