All weapon nerfs and buffs in Warzone 2 Season 6 October 11 update

The official Warzone 2 Season 6 October 11 update has been released, and it includes a plethora of game-balancing changes such as weapon buffs, nerfs, and critical bug patches. Across all platforms, the patch is less than 1 GB in size. WZ2 Season 6 adds three new weapons, engaging Battle Pass content, and The Haunting event bundles, among other things.

Weapon swaps are essential for maintaining a balanced gunplay environment, as they ensure that no weapon on the battlefield is overpowered or underpowered. This encourages dynamic gameplay by deterring players from making the same decisions over and over again.
