All gunplay adjustments in Warzone Season 1

The following are all the gunplay adjustments in Warzone Season 1:

Locational damage modifiers adjusted

In the most recent patch, the locational damage multipliers have been balanced. Previously, a bullet shot to the arms would deal less damage when compared to a bullet shot to the chest. This modifying factor is now adjusted to allow for a more consistent experience.

This means that a bullet shot to the arms or the chest will now deal similar damage. Moreover, the headshot damage multiplier has been reduced with the recent update.

Backup Pistol underwater

Players will now always have a weapon to use underwater. Earlier, players could only use handguns and melee weapons underwater. However, with this update, irrespective of the firearms one carries in their loadout, they will always have a backup COR-45 pistol to use underwater.

That being said, if one does have a specific handgun built into their loadout, they will switch to that instead.
